R!TTER Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Sneaked in the WTC on the back of slow over rate by Oz in MCG, played two tests against the host (nation) of WTC final. Not to mention played pretty much no one of note away & got walloped by Oz like minnows on their last tour! Has there ever been a team less deserving of the World champions title? And then their homie commie Simon Doull always brings up the neutral conditions BS when talking about WTC, Eng is as neutral to India as SL or Bangladesh is to NZ (vs Ind) Edited December 6, 2021 by R!TTER raki05 and AuxiliA 2 Link to comment
Jamadagni Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) No, that is England. Lost to Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Australia in group stages, barely made it to semis(thanks to India) and then in the final...well.....

Vk1 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 except for that fateful overthrow ( which mattered the most ) I suppose NZ have always been the luckiest team in cricket.. raki05 1 Link to comment
Jay Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Yep but they are worthy number 3 after india and Aussies imo. Link to comment
Adamant Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Newzealand is definitely amongst the top three team, surely better than SA and Eng. I think you are terribly underrating them. Jamieson is their trump card and they have some great talent coming. Link to comment
goose Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 i understand the rationale, but this sort of thing is just so unattractive. cowboysfan and Vijy 2 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 That WTC final was just a farce, it was like the ICC/ECB handed over the trophy to them! Now if NZ didn't play Eng before the final I could give them more credit, but that was by far the most unfair "multilateral" finale I've ever seen in cricket These chumps would get slaughtered if we play them anywhere in Asia & probably 7/8 other test nations.

rollingstoned Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 good team but i want to see how they go in a long series in India, england and australia, maybe Saf too. I don't see them from this position for instance competing well in the rest of the matches if this was a 4 or 5 match series which they almost never play. raki05 1 Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Forget the WTC but now home and away they are leading us 2-1. Credit where due. Lord, nevada and Vijy 3 Link to comment

This is what a likely result would be aquarium from home; 4-0 india or 3 0 4 0 Australia They can draw vs england 2-1 or 3-1 saffers Saffers are terribly underrated. I am extremely worried about our batting vs them. Olivier is back. Vijy 1 Link to comment

Yes they did, but also showed a lot of resilience. Batted almost the entire day 5, not many teams can do that in India. We hardly put up a fight in NZ.

Imagine NZ doing same in NZ playing without Boult, Southee. Without 6 starters. Edited December 6, 2021 by rkt.india Vijy 1 Link to comment
Sean Bradley Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Why underserving? our IPL Rockstars had a chance to beat them in the WTC, they didn't. We have no right to call them underserving, when our own team couldn't get the job done in the WTC final. Norman 1 Link to comment

cricketfan28 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Not sure about undeserving but their descent has started .. they are going back to their mediocre 90's form. Sunil_narine024 1 Link to comment
waga Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 It was more that there are currently 3 actual test teams and Australia threw about 4 tests that they should have walked home Link to comment
