DB, our test matches are c$%p! What am I smoking? Number 1 racing fuel and Castrol R.
I would pay money to see footage of Greatbatch's catch in a one dayer v england 1988 NZ batted second reaching 208 for win.I think it was the second one dayer in the series The catch was the best I have ever scene he leaped 10 ft dropped and caught it 4 or 5 times in mid air. It made very few highlight reels but it was super human. I for one am glad he's the new coach
Once again NZ Cricket has shot itself in the foot, appointed a puppet with Vittori pulling the strings. What is wrong with Sports Administrators in this country? Not only cricket getting things completely wrong, but also Tennis, Rugby, and Bowls. But It guess that's what you can expect from a country will low expectations.
What are you guys smoking? The black caps are ranked 4th in the world (and only just behind South Africa), we have THE TOP RANKED ODI bowler in the WORLD - Vettori, we have Mills at number 4 and Bond at 7 (IN THE WORLD), we have one of the best all rounders in the world in Oram...we have batsmen and bolwers who are highly sought after for the IPL and are being paid huge bucks including Bond, McCullum, Taylor, Vetorri etc.I think you guys need to do your homework before you make comments like you have. Oh and Bill, obviously you dont know enough to comment as its spelt "Vettori" not "Vittori".
Bill, your right. First thing he has got to do is knock these prima donnas down a peg or two and have them go out and all play like Aussie - all going for the high runs, not just a couple of them. A start might be for NZ Cricket to cut the pay packets of a few of them. HellI would go out and try to hit the ball for 100K +!
Good luck Greatbatch, you will need it with this bunch of Prima Dona's. It will be interesting to see how long he sticks around with the players still having all the say, especially Vittori who I believe is a poor captain.
