More evidence that Bracewell is useless last night. We were in a almost identical situation, at the same ground, against the same team at the start of the year, and we choked again.
Now this is mostly down to the players not keeping their heads but there is something not quite right in the team culture IMO. We don't have a winning culture. I was at the game, and the body language when we were in the field was disgraceful. We need something new, SOMEONE new.

Absolute garbage. They played well and just came up short but it was a great effort. Still the issues of selection plagues the New Zealand side. The Aussies can always rely on someone to perform but NZ is very inconsistent in its batting anyway good knocks from Symonds, Clarke, Vincent, Cairns, Oram and Mcullum. Just shows what NZ can do after being all out for 105 last week

It counts for something. I'm sure that the blackcaps will be more confident now than they were a week ago. Who would of thought they could of actually won chasing 323 to win. The selectors just need to make a few changes like bringing in Fulton and then I think we could have a reasonable crack at any team that comes our way. I'm still not sure about the coaching of Bracewell, this year the blackcaps seem to have slipped a bit, choking at the end like normal.Blaze said:

Nothing more pleasant than a culture of mediocrity.Natman20 said:
Bracewell is snippy and abrasive. Which is fine if it translates to the team on the field. But it doesn't. What has happened is that we have lost our killer instinct, which we had slowly started to develop under Rixon in particular, and Aberhart. Bracewell came in on his coaching horse with a reputation of one-day success behind them, yet, after a rise, has managed to drive the team down to the depths again.
Show him the door either now, or straight after the Sri Lanka series. That's plenty of time before the World Cup.

I don't know, he's too close to the team..coming in as a coach so soon after retirement might not work if you ask me.
Mark Greatbatch might be ready in a few years now that he's at Warwickshire, I suppose his success rate will be monitored by NZC. He did fairly well with Central Districts.

What if Hadlee or Crowe coached the team, I reckon they might be able to sort the players out. Also players will have respect for them

yeah, juz saw that. Too bad I am getting into CW from cyber cafes, meaning I never really have the time to see if my point has already been made by someone else.
And, it is worth repeating too.
