Well that is the nature of sports in general. The margins between winning and losing are often slim. Had the catch been taken earlier we would be having a different conversation

Take off your maroon glasses and you will see lapses by the Kiwi and "we would be having a different conversation." You think is one team play a match?

Of course not, the point I'm making is that we are the ones who constantly end up on the losing side because of the consistent mistakes made. I'm certainly not making excuses for the West Indies and I'm not surprised by the loss. I can afford to say that had we done things differently, we could have won. It comes down to ensuring that one takes their chances, something that the West Indies didn't do. New Zealand won the match because of the drop catch and the fact that Santner farmed the strike, ensuring that he was there at the end to win the match for New Zealand. It comes down to who handles the pressure better and was proven once again that this team isn't up to it.
