New Zealand's cricket team in dumps


What has happened to the Black Caps of late........they have produced legends like martin crowe, dennis lillie, chris cairns, stephen fleming and they also were the finalist in 1992 world cup, semi-finalist in 2004 world cup........but all of sudden they are falling a pack of cards....the main reason is that they have not produced any world class cricketer recently like Australia, India, Sri Lanka have their whole bowling attack looks in total shambles expect Daniel Vettori, they dont have a matchwinner in their team who can take the game away from the opposition especially in the two test where the batsmen performance was atrocious.
Legends like Martin Crowe and Richard Hadlee would be crying after seeing the state of New Zealand cricket team.......They must do something already their test ranking is 8th which is above west indies they can very well go below it.
As a matter of fact they will face West Indies which is itself broken at home next week they shuld be able to beat them comprehensively in their home soil but hello they lack the medium pace bowlers now like Gavin Laarson or Craig McMillan who can take advantage of the pitch conditions.
Even the popularity of the game has gone down in New Zealand what we see is only empty stands in New Zealand during the game of cricket.....Very few young talents come in and they fade quickly and in a small country like New Zealand they cannot afford to do that....
The have to bring some reforms in their cricket structure now do something about their domestic structure or probably change the conditions of their cricket tracks as these kind of tracks are not used anywhere else.
