New Zealand captain Kane Williamson slammed his sides extremely poor batting performance after they lost eight wickets for 16 runs to be bowled out in 23.1 overs, their shortest ODI innings, and go down to India by 190 runs.New Zealand came into the series decider on an equal footing. But conceding 269 on a slow surface may have made their task difficult, but they wouldnt have expected to be rolled over for 79. Williamson said there were no excuses for how abject they were.Its extremely disappointing. After a tough Test series to bounce back and show the heart that was required, the fight that we needed to go two-all against a very good Indian side, was a superb effort, he said after the match. But it is hard to look past out last performance right now, the emotion of just finishing the game. They got above-par initially with the bat on a tough surface. There are certainly no excuses from our end, we were extremely poor with the bat today.We want to be showing steps of improvement everyday. Thats whats so frustrating, because we failed as a batting unit. The spinners of the Indian side bowled very well but I dont think it justified losing eight wickets for 20 or so runs. We were poor and India were very good.While ruing the number of runs they conceded with the ball, Williamson lauded Indias batsmen for the partnerships they stitched together. First, Virat Kohli shared a 79-run stand with Rohit Sharma before putting on 71 runs with MS Dhoni. Kedar Jadhav and Axar Patel then added 46 crucial runs in 6.3 overs in the slog overs.The way the put together partnerships on a pitch that was slow was a very good effort. They kept going at five runs an over on this pitch, they certainly deserved to win today, he said. They were fantastic. At the half-way stage, although we knew they had a good score on the board on that surface, we knew if we could get partnerships together, who knows, we couldve done better. If we kept on a bit and played in excess in of 25-30 overs, with a bit of dew around, then who knows. But that was a long way off. We were never going to get there.Except for Tom Latham, and to a lesser extent, Kane Williamson, New Zealands batting has remained inadequate throughout the series. While Ross Taylor showed signs of returning to form in the last two games, he managed only 119 runs, with Martin Guptill (111) and Corey Anderson (31 from four matches) also not turning up. Williamson stressed on the need to replicate the consistency that Indias batsmen demonstrated.If you look at any winning performance, there are one or two significant performances. If you look at the India side, theres Virat [Kohli]. I think pretty much every game he made a significant contribution, he said. Sometimes the conditions werent easiest to bat but whoever that person is, we need a lot more. I think Tom Latham was outstanding.It was nice to see Guptill show that presence at the crease in the last couple of games, but we need to take those little good bits a lot further and look at someone like Virat, who I suppose… to get a 150 in that Mohali game was a hugely significant performance as opposed to perhaps a 40 or 50.Williamson believed there were lessons to be learnt from playing against a good side in tough conditions, and said Mitchell Santner was a highlight of their tour. With 10 scalps, Santner was New Zealands joint-highest wicket-taker in the Test series, along with Trent Boult. He was also their most economical bowler in the ODIs.He has been outstanding, a young cricketer who is newish to the side. Although conditions are favourable to spinners here there are a lot of spinners who come here and struggle, he said. I guess its because of the pace of the wicket against extremely good players of spin. Mitch has performed day in and day out. His change of pace and his ability to spin the ball was a great asset to have. Not to mention his batting and his fielding as well. [We] look forward to seeing his progression in the future.

Vikings on the chargeWhat a start to the year it has been for the Vikings. Sure theyre a game ahead of some of their title rivals, but after finishing last season in the bottom four, this is a dream start to the campaign. On Sunday they cruised to their first away win over Huddersfield in 20 years and went top of the Super League standings with a 36-18 victory.Head coach Denis Betts is delighted with his teams efforts and is hoping that their top-of-the-table standing will make them more ruthless. All the action from the Super League clash between Huddersfield and Widnes The lads are really made up with the fact weve been away from home three times and weve come out with six points from four games. We would have taken that early in the year, said Betts.This next month the games are going to be coming thick and fast and it will be a real test for us. It becomes a war of attrition and the squad gets tested.Its nice [to be top] at this stage, weve made a really good start but weve got to make sure we get a bit more ruthless.Rhinos not on the charge Watch all the tries from the Catalans Dragons 32-28 win over Leeds Rhinos It is quite the opposite for Brian McDermotts men, who suffered yet another defeat over the weekend, this time to Catalans. The home side had a few seasoned pros in their side but still Leeds would have at least hoped to give them a fight. As it was, a late comeback in the final 10 minutes courtesy of two tries was the only positive that came out of France that day. McDermott bemoaned the soft defence of his side in Perpignan, but he should be more worried about the soft defence of their title.We had too many periods where we were loose and defensively too many soft periods in the early stages, but we had a crack and had a dig, said McDermott.Im really pleased that the players found a way to get back into the game and effectively make it a close encounter, but I wont be consoling myself or consoling my players too much with that because we were poor in too many areas.Challenge Cup Fortunately for Leeds they werent the only defeat that stood out this weekend. Four Kingstone Press League 1 clubs were knocked out of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup by amateur opposition on Saturday.Newcastle Thunder were thrashed 30-4 at Halifax club Siddal, Hemel Stags went down 12-6 at Cumbrian outfit Kells, London Skolars were beaten 13-0 at Pilkington Recs, of St Helens, and South Wales Scorpions lost 37-20 at Featherstone Lions.Who will follow Chester at Hull KR? All the action from the Super League clash between Hull KR and St Helens There was to be no fairy-tale start to life without Chris Chester for Hull KR but they have to put that behind them as they begin their search for a new coach.ddddddddddddWillie Poching took charge of the side following the standing down of head coach Chester earlier in the week and was rewarded with a spirited performance from the squad, despite the 31-22 loss to St Helens.Jamie Peacock has certainly faced more than his fair share of challenges on the field, but Rovers football manager faces his first real test in his new role at the KC Lightstream Stadium.Peacocks next appointment is going to be a huge test - whoever they do decide to bring in will want to spend some money on players. Hull KRs issues will not be solved with a change of coach as they just do not have the strength in depth to compete and are desperate for more talent.If you line Hull KRs team up with some of the leading squads, well Im afraid they just do not compare, said Sky Sports pundit Terry OConnor.I am not being disrespectful to the players, but if you were looking at your Hull KR fantasy team, how many players would you want to bring in? They need more players and a coach who can come in and get the best of what they have.Its going to be a difficult job.Referees under the spotlight again Highlights of Wigans win over Salford at the DW Stadium Salfords Ian Watson was not happy with a refereeing blunder that cost his side the chance of a big win over Wigan.Referee George Stokes and his touch judges failed to spot a knock-on by Wigan forward Taulima Tautai in the build-up to the match-winning try by winger Dom Manfredi.Im really disappointed with the way it ended because it looked like we should have had a share of the points, said Watson.The fact he knocked on at the last play-the-ball before the score doesnt help and the fact that we could see it in the stand and the referee and his officials cant is a big disappointment.Giants by name, not by nature Paul Anderson WAS not impressed with Huddersfields attitude There must be something in the water in Huddersfield that is causing injuries to all the players.They started the season with a long injury list and have been adding to it since then, and their misery was compounded by yet another injury as Jamie Ellis succumbed to a shoulder problem 24 minutes into the game against Widnes.Three-quarters of our salary cap have watched todays game from the stands, said head coach Paul Anderson.One or two might have a chance for Friday [against Leeds], but weve got to battle on - the key for us is to stick together.I thought Widnes were very good, but we were poor and pretty soft if Im honest. Our side was the same team that almost beat Wigan but our attitude was not quite right.If your attitude is not right, you get challenged and Widnes did that. They ran harder than us and they had more vigour in everything they did. Also See: WATCH: Tempers flare in Hull Widnes smash injury-hit Giants Follow @SkySportsRL Salford rues referee error ' ' '
