New Zealand Depression Thread

I have been a New Zealand Cricket fan since I can remember, and this is undoubtedly the best NZ cricket team we have ever had. Two world cup finals in the last two iterations of the tournament, unlucky not to win the last world cup, a couple of all all time greats of NZ cricket playing in the same team (Taylor, Williamson) - it should be a great time to be a NZ fan.

So why are we so shit in Australia? Are Australia that much better than us? You rate yourself as a cricket team after playing the best, and when we play the best we fall apart. Every time. On paper there isn't much that separates these teams however in reality there is a huge gulf between the two. We are being outplayed in every single facet. Batting, bowling, fielding, on field banter - its like the senior club side playing the afternoon grade 40 over side, its fucking embarrassing. Is this what other nations feel like when they play the All Blacks?

Just needed to get my frustrations out and ask other Kiwi's what your thoughts are on why turn into a bunch of flogs when crossing the Tasman (although when Aus come here we get shat on too).
