Re: Cricket: Australia vs India TEST SERIES
So you can only be a Kiwi if you are born in New Zealand? What about Neil Wagner, Irene van Dyk or Jerome Kaino? It's the Russell Crowe rule. If you're a dickhead and another country has any claim on you, you're from there instead. What if you're a dickhead like Sevu Reece? But very good at rugby. ...

I don't disagree with the main message of your post. However, I do think the Warriors with KD, Curry & Thompson had as much firepower if not more than the Nets version of KD, Harden & Irving. Nearly, but not quite. This is purely related to scoring. KD = KD Harden > Steph Kyrie > Klay That's not to...
