Well they may be able to but in order to do that, they must post BIG scores! Not scores in the 120-150 range, but scores that actually make the opposition doubt their ability to reach it. So, in order to that these three players MUST fire!
If these three men put big totals on the scoreboard, then our fielders and bowlers actually have something to defend..and trust me when I say that we can become a completely different team in the field when we have a big score on the board! We are actually known around the world as being one of the best fielding sides in world cricket, and with athleticism coming from the likes of McCullum, Guptill, Williamson and Taylor we can easily stop other teams from reaching the required total.
The BlackCaps actually have a very good record at world cups, and I am looking forward to see how the team performs this time around. Beat Bangladesh and Pakistan and we're in the quarter finals..more than doable!
Big scores needed (none of the typical NZ style of batting we are used to please) and backed up by the bowlers and the fielders stopping those balls heading the way of the rope.
About time we made a REAL statement to all other international teams. (Pup and the Aussies, you aren't getting this one).
I couldn't agree more, but to achieve your result the Black Caps need to play like true champions and put aside their horror tours of Sri Lanka and India (which is a bit like trying to hide your red headed uncle whose got Turrets in the cupboard on Christmas Day).
