PBN Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Tipped as one of the favourites to lift the cup, New Zealand have a bunch of exciting players. They seem to have an allround team especially when playing at home. Probably, a lot of people's second fave team after their home team. Is this their best chance to win the cup or will they eventually go out in the semis as usual. SQUAD Brendon McCullum (captain), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Adam Milne, Luke Ronchi (wkt), Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Daniel Vettori, Kane Williamson. FIXTURES
Sid_SuhaiL Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 This is definitely their best chance to win. Their match against AUS on 28th will reveal more about it. As a Kiwi supporter , i dnt mind if they lose that one coz it'll protect them from overconfidence.
NareshK Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I dont know why but I get a feeling they may falter in QF or SF. They have a tradition of doing well in first round and then bottling it during knock out stage. The pressure of playing a knock out game in front of their home crowd could be challenging. They have the team to go all the way. Remains to be seen how they handle the pressure and if they could raise their game on the big days.
sensible-indian Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 NZ supporters say their team now is better than the one they had in 1992 (where they were damn good and looked set to win). So its possible NZ can go the distance.
zen Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 The team would be hard to beat esp. in home conditions unless has a bad day or comes against traditional big tournament KO nemesis such as Pak
bulbul Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Scotland: 141 England: 123 Australia: 151 India : 400
gaurav92 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 India will have to bat thrice to get that score though :cantstop:
StriKe Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Without Kane and Baz - Whole team looks out of form in batting
keith Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Without Kane and Baz - Whole team looks out of form in batting take out two batsmen from any team. Amla and AB. Kohli and Rohit Smith and Warner Sanga and Mathews Everyone else sucks so who cares.
CoverDrive Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 take out two batsmen from any team. Amla and AB. Kohli and Rahane Smith and Warner Sanga and Mathews Everyone else sucks so who cares. Fixed
CoverDrive Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 They need some grittiness from some of their players like what Williamson showed today. Maybe baz should stay put for 30-35 overs and make a big 100
PBN Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 I tuned to the pre-game show of the India UAE match thinking this match is done and come back later to check that 4-5 NZ wickets fell. Unbelievable
