O for awesome!
I started watching in 1993/94 and soon after that was the nadir of the centenary season. To see us reach no.1 is incredible.

The 100s are what get me. A ton used to be a rare thing, now it's common for multiple in one innings.

Henry Cooper took a couple of wickets bowling the last over in a Super Smash game the other day too, so they have depth in the role.

@Prince EWS imagine the carnage if seddon park rolled out the decks they do in the super smash for a test against india or someone. the absolute betrayal.

Well done Kiwis, looks like a great team. There should a Aus-NZ 4 Test series next summer with 2 Tests in each country.
Pity Aus will be back #1 in 2 weeks when they win India series

Great stuff for NZ. I really enjoy watching them play atm. Have built a genuinely good side around Williamson, Watling, Wagner and Boult. Jamieson's inclusion and Latham's development combined with an aging but still effective Taylor make this a worthy ranking imho. The other players I haven't' mentioned have all contributed to this as well.

Would be an excellent series methinks, especially the battle of the bowling attacks

i think australia would take it comfortably tbh, because australia seem to live rent free in the heads of the current nz generation.
jamieson is the first zoomer in the team i believe barring the phillips one off test, so hopefully the next gen can combine the fleming era scrap with the current eras talent.
