    New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    We're not exactly brimming with bowling talent right now. You seem to dismiss every bowler we have thierry like we've got plenty more to take their place.

    New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Unfortunately for Franklin I think he's gonna be pigeon holed as a test player after this World Cup. He's been fortunate that we havent really had any other decent options recently but I feel we should really be playing Gillespie as he has pace and has shown he can score some handy runs. Our...

    Latest Betting Odds in your country

    those odds for NZ/S.L are interesting. I presume its changed just recently after Malinga was ruled out but still i'd say its about 50/50 between the two teams right now. NZ have a tough stretch of games coming up and i'll bet that the game they will really want to win is this one while they're...

    NZ can win Cup - Fleming

    I'd be disappointed if Fleming thought any other way. Whats the point of turning up to the World Cup and saying you can't. The next 3 games though will determine whether they've got it in them.

    NZC announce new CEO

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/4021645a1823.html Former Auckland and New Zealand representitive Justin Vaughan is the new CEO fo NZ Cricket. Good luck to him, he's got big shoes to fill but from what I've heard of him on tv before..I think he'll be a great replacement. EDIT: CricketWeb link

    Super Eight

    It was a stupid innings really from Marshall. He was battling with Fulton for the final batting spot and Fulton showed that he wanted it more. With Ross Taylor coming back, our batting will still be very strong. The one player im concerned about is James Franklin. Its clear they want him in...

    Super Eight

    It was clear to see that despite NZ saying so earlier in the week, they did lack a bit of respect up front. There were also signs that they were rusty batting first because a number of batsmen were trying to force the pace. The fact is though, we won and we're still unbeaten so you can't...

    Super Eight

    As far as im aware from the reports he won't be rested at all.

    Super Eight

    If NZ win the toss it will be interesting to see what they do. Personally I think NZ should bat first, get a big score, gain some confidence batting first and then knock Ireland over in the 2nd innings. They've got to have a go at batting first at least once before the games start becoming...

    *Unofficial* New Zealand Black Caps Thread

    Cumming probably has family or business commitments...I'd say Ryder has been left out for fitness and attitude reasons but we can't totally be sure of that. Remarkably, if Cumming had been available, that NZ 'A' side would almost resemble Otago which is quite interesting. Personally, Im...

    Super Eight

    South Africa will either totally lose the plot now or be better for the loss. If you look at history, its most likely gonna turn sour for them now.

    McMillan considering retirement

    McMillan has always wanted to have the last laugh, I would imagine he's still smarting from being dropped and this will be his way of going out on his own terms.

    Ian Chappell predicts an Anzac Battle

    The days of a NZ dibbly dobbly attack are long gone...if anything we have the same type of bowling attack as everyone else does now. When we rolled out the likes of Harris, Larsen, Patel, Astle etc...sure it was dibbly dobbly but not anymore when our first choice would be Bond, Vettori, Oram...

    I don't think anyone will ever understand how Australia and New Zealand capitulated to England in the CB series.

    hmmm Oram > Flintoff right now.

    Super Eight

    The problem for England is that Murali still has a tonne of overs left.

    Which Cricketer Are you Most excited about this WC ?

    Definately Ross Taylor. Mainly because he's a super talent. Let's hope he gets some game time again soon.

    Who will get through to the Semis?

    Yeah NZ always have to becareful of Murali but NZ has played Sri Lanka how many times over the last 3 years? we've played about 4 or 5 series against them. They should be pretty used to facing up to him now.
  19. Tim

    Who will get through to the Semis?

    There was an article in the NZ Herald today quoting Viv Richards as saying he thinks NZ will win it, or at least have a very good chance of. I'll try and get the link in a bit.

    Plunkett - "Freddie Flintoff is the best bowler I have ever seen"

    But surely in his youth he would have seen the likes of Akram, Donald etc too.
