New Zealand Team Discussion

I'm hearing reports of NZ training at the MCG yesterday and due to [HASHTAG]#MCGSOBIG[/HASHTAG] Kane Williamson and Nathan McCullum have gone missing around the third man area.

The ICC have approved the additions of Brian Lara and Shane Warne to replace them in the squad.

could get a rematch of this last ball 6 to tie
 
 
Black Caps jerseys have been sold out for a while now which is unfortunate but hopefully all those Indians will be wearing black :D
 
It'll be the first since 92 that a Cricket Shirt is unavailable anywhere. Canterbury of NZ will be very pleased, they've always said sponsoring cricket is a loss-generator for them. Good they've got a nice bump from all this success in 2014/15
 
New Zealand is a fast improving side. Will they overtake teams like SA and Australia and become the best? Do they have the players?

The Battle of Little BigHorn in 1876, also known as Custer’s Last Stand, is one of the most famous engagements of the “Indian Wars” in America. Fought between the seventh cavalry regiment of the United States army and the combined forces of the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes, it was a massacre. According to one Indian eyewitness, the clash lasted no longer than the time it took “for a hungry man to eat his meal.”

The army, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, was outnumbered and outgunned by Sitting Bull’s warriors. Their defeat was cruel and complete. They never stood a chance.



“

According to legend, at some point leading up to or during the skirmish, Sitting Bull issued some kind of warning. “One day,” proclaimed the great chief, “your people will outnumber my people. But that day is not today.”

”

The New Zealand team is a coming force in world cricket. They posses a relatively youthful team ably and assertively led by an innovative and adventurous captain. They have their fair share of accomplished and aggressive batsmen, while their fast bowlers are capable of eliciting swing, seam movement and scorching pace. Their veteran spinner appears to be on his last legs, afflicted as he is by injuries that have laid him low for long periods. But there are younger men coming up who should be able to provide good service to their country in that area. They also have an energetic fielding side and a bench stocked with reserves that should be adequate replacements, who will threaten to challenge the incumbents for places of their own in the near future.

New Zealand's Last Stand
 
New Zealand will never overtake the top nations, they don't have the players or the resources, tht and the fact it is a rugby nation!!!
 
...except for the bit where did make the ODI World Cup Final and overtook all the "top nations"
 
an appropriate kit for the country imo

can't wait for the beige caps to next tour here, perhaps they'll play scotland next time!!!
 
I went to school with him[DOUBLEPOST=1450080415][/DOUBLEPOST]Genuine all-rounder at school, became more of a batsman while playing for HK. Loads of talent, could potentially end up playing for NZ one day, especially since he's so young and already played ODIs and T20Is (and scored a century on ODI debut!).

I've seen he's playing for Auckland in domestic cricket here, will be interesting to see how he does. For some reason Auckland used him as a specialist bowler in the T20 final
