s is making all the right noises. England do drink their own champagne at times. They win a few and then, to their own detriment, they start getting ahead of themselves.An

Guys have seen the replays but its one of those things. It can happen to any team, said a crestfallen Graeme Cremer after Zimbabwe went down to New Zealand by 254 runs to concede the series 2-0 in Bulawayo. It would have been nice going into the last hour with a couple of wickets but these things happen. The disappointment was palpable considering Zimbabwe were at the receiving end of a few howlers during the series. ESPNcricinfo examines them:Sean Williams, first innings, first Test Neil Wagner hit Sean Williams on the helmet off his first delivery and broke his grille. A second bouncer followed. Williams, clearly hustled for pace, attempted a pull which lobbed off the helmet to Ish Sodhi at short midwicket. Williams stood until umpire Paul Reiffel gave him out. He walked off disappointed, but not before he gestured to his helmet in explanation.Prince Masvaure, first innings, first Test After saving Zimbabwes blushes with an 85-run ninth wicket stand with Donald Tiripano, Prince Mavaure would have been eyeing a maiden Test fifty. But his hopes were dashed when he played across the line to a Tim Southee delivery. Replays suggested the ball would have missed leg stump, but Reiffel didnt feel so.Craig Ervine, second innings, first Test Three balls after reaching his maiden Test fifty, Craig Ervine played inside the line to a Boult delivery that reversed back into him. There was a noise and Ervine was given out caught behind. But replays showed there was no nick. The ball was not close to the bat and the sound likely came from the bat hitting the pad. Debutant umpire Michael Gough made that call.Graeme Cremer, second innings, first Test Zimbabwes captain saw Sean Williams through to a century and had faced 130 balls himself, for 33. Cremer was picking the spin well until he tried to flick an Ish Sodhi legbreak but missed. He was hit above the knee roll and the ball would have sailed over the stumps, but Reiffel didnt think that way.Donald Tiripano, first innings, second Test His first Test efforts proved Donald Tiripano could bat, but his resistance was cut short in the second Test. Neil Wagner pitched a ball just outside leg, Tiripano missed an attempted nudge and was hit in front of leg stump. Reiffel gave him out despite the ball pitching outside the line of the stumps.Chamu Chibhabha, first innings, second Test The only time Zimbabwe benefitted from a decision was off the second ball on the third morning. Chamu Chibhabha and Tino Mawoyo had made sure they had not lost wickets the evening before, but Chibhabha should have been out when Boult got one to pitch in line, tail in late and hit him on the pads. Reiffel said not out even as the New Zealanders watched in dismay.Donald Tiripano, second innings, second Test For the second time in the match, Tiripano was at the receiving end of a poor call. He had batted 70 minutes of the final morning in an effort to save the game and was dealing well with seam and spin when Mitchell Santner, the left-arm spinner, bowled one that drifted in towards leg stump. The ball skidded on, without turning and would have missed leg stump. Umpire Reiffel clearly didnt see it that way.Craig Ervine, second innings, second Test At the stroke of lunch on the final day, Ervine seemed set to see out the session. Kane Williamson looked to get rid of an over by giving Martin Guptill a bowl. Ervine lunged forward to defend but missed a ball that turned. There no contact between bat and ball, although the bat may have hit the pad and made a sound. Reiffel gave Ervine out.Graeme Cremer, second innings, second Test Cremer had not managed to plant roots as he did in the first Test, but still had some hope of batting time, despite Zimbabwe being seven down after lunch. Guptill was turning the ball significantly and Cremer inside-edged one onto his pad. He was given out lbw by Reiffel.Prince Masvaure, second innings, second Test At the other end, with Zimbabwe in complete disarray, Prince Masvaure got down to defend a Sodhi ball the beat the inside edge and hit him on the pad. The ball lobbed up to Taylor, who claimed the catch at slip, and Masvaure was sent packing by Gough. Even assuming it was for an lbw, the ball would have comfortably missed leg stump.Clearance Vans Canada Shop .

I thought Italian rugby had progressed in the last 10 years but that was a step backwards. They didnt fire a shot. Sure, they scored a late try but that was off an All Blacks mistake.The All Blacks were good, and then got a little festive towards the end. I thought Steven Luatua had a really good game.For me, the big positive out of the game were the forwards; they fronted up and laid down the platform. I thought it was the best game Ive seen Wyatt Crockett play in an All Blacks jersey -- he was outstanding. He really got around, was full of energy and was devastating at scrum time.Im sure Crockett was reflecting on his experience there when he marked Martin Castrogiovanni in 2009 and made a personal statement and fair play to him. It was a really good performance and positive to see.And given that he had that opportunity, and put his hand up, and if you look at Joe Moody, who didnt quite put his hand up against Ireland, it will be interesting to see who gets the starting berth this week. You would have to say that Wyatt Crockett has done everything to say, pick me.Charlie Faumuina was another one, he was excellent around the field and got involved. Hes someone who hasnt quite cracked the starting position because Owen Franks is a reliable player and it is a tough call. The question is whether he will ever crack it if Franks isnt going to move.In regards to the Maori All Blacks, history has shown, even the All Blacks, that Munster is a really tough place to visit. Theyre a passionate crowd there and there would have been 90 percent red fans in the crowd. Thomond Park is one of those intimidating stadiums to play at.I want to acknowledge how well the Maoris did the haka and the tribute they made to Anthony Foley was a really touching moment. That was about taking New Zealand culture and putting it in a really positive light and that was fantastic to see.I know I copped a lot of criticism last week for what I said about the Chicago haka but I think a lot of it was misinterpreted from an article that appeared on another site. The point I was making was that it is like pulling the right club out when youre playing a round of golf - the choice of club fits the environment you are in. Ive got no doubt that Kapo O Pango should come out this weekend again because now is the time to bring it out.But at the same time the emotion has got to sit in behind it. And the passion. You dont deliver that haka and then not deliver on the fiield.dddddddddddd.I am absolutely 100 percent sure that the All Blacks will front up on Saturday and as I said last week, I think they will put 40 points on Ireland.Theres been a lot of talk about Ireland and how well they played, and they did play well. But, as we have said several times in this column, the only time the All Blacks lose is when they drop their standard. When they are on song there isnt a team on this planet can beat them.Im thinking theyll be on song at the weekend.A lot of All Blacks go through their careers without getting the opportunity for a second chance, but those who do get a second chance, especially against a team that has beaten them, well theres a real passion there. Like I mentioned earlier about Wyatt Crockett and Italy, thats obviously stuck with him.For me, it was any time we played England because we lost in 1993; the memory of that loss fuelled me. That memory stays with you throughout your whole career.There will be All Blacks hurting from that Ireland game and theyve got an opportunity two weeks later. You can right the wrong all in one fell swoop. Its set up for the All Blacks to do that and Im sure the passion is there.I know they parked their debrief for this week and Im sure there will be a lot of finger-pointing. Im 100 percent certain theyve got the right management, the right cattle and theyll come up with the right plan.Ireland keep making the noises that they are preparing for a backlash, and it will be coming. There is no doubt that Ireland were the better team on the day in Chicago and that is something the All Blacks will be wanting to put right.In their heart of hearts, the All Blacks know that man for man they are better. And they should have that self-belief. Take nothing away from Ireland, they created something special but I dont believe they are as good a team.History states that, this All Blacks team has just gone 18 Tests undefeated.Of course, England now have those 18 Tests in their sights. And you have got to say that Eddie Jones is making all the right noises. England do drink their own champagne at times. They win a few and then, to their own detriment, they start getting ahead of themselves.And what Eddie Jones is doing is levelling them, keeping their feet on the ground. Youre only that good after youre finished, or retired, and look back at your career. Youre never that good when youre doing it and theyve made a real statement; theyve had a series of wins and are tracking really well but if their egos allow them to theyll self-destruct.What Eddie Jones is doing is telling the guys to pull their heads in, keep their feet on the ground and telling them they are not as good as they think they are. They will march on against Fiji at the weekend and then Australia two weeks later. ' ' '
