By doing so they improve New Zealand's weak attitude towards this great game and enhance those spots of talent hiding away to come on out and become World class cricketeers. New Zealand is going through a reconstructing period just like Australia a few years ago. I sincerely hope that the Cricket Academy is utilised to it's full potential and we see some new cricketers emerge to form a stable and consistent team that one day will send Shane Warne for 6 successive sixes of one over and bowl Mark Waugh's average into the ground. I am addicted to cricket but unfortunately have not been able to play it. Those of you who are like me,well,send me a message because I would love to debate anything over cricket.
Lets face it.
It's fluke from the word go. I agree that NZ cricket has had another up and down season, but when we were up the team could really feel proud of themselves - putting away Sri Lanka in two tests was special. However, once again consistency seemed to never appear in the NZ cricket dictionary. For example the first innings of the first test against England was one of the finest displays of batting from a New Zealand top order I have seen in years. Once again in the third test we threw a historic win away to lose the test and hence the series.
