Flem.

Great captain. Best World Cup innings by a New Zealander. Both things we need.

Left arm quicks with the new ball were his kryptonite though, hardly promising against the Aussies.

I think the answer is Peak Bond.

Peak Hadlee, Crowe and Bond. Forget the numbers, they are the best NZ cricketers I've ever seen. Crowe, such a visionary, will captain as well

just pick our all-time XI

Would our all-time XI win the Cup?

In a world cup of All Time XIs, where would be finish? above or below Sri Lanka?

Below in the subcontinent, above outside.

Parore.

bond has easily the most match-winning influence of the modern ODI players, hard to disagree with that even though quick bowling hasn't really been our weakness.
flem is a good shout, an opener hitting a chanceless 90-something before lobbing it to mid off would be a pretty big improvement.

Surely Nash or Thomson would be worth a shot?

Aw fucks sake.....I’ll name a whole team.....

Hartland
Pocock
How
Fulton
Cumming
Thomson
Vaughan
Hart
Hart
Kennedy
Davis

All bullshit aside it’s hard to see the openers I picked doing any worse than Guptill/Nicholls/Munro this tournament....

Paddles, M Crowe and Bond would be my pool to choose from, but at this point, any one of Astle, Harris, C Cairns, Smith/Parore/McCullum, Greatbatch and Dipak Patel would be a starter.

Your specs are tinted with a shitload of rose in some cases here.

For sure, current world cup form compared to the 1992 World Cup is playing a part...
