Jeepers, Beefy Botham, Gatting, Taylor, Big Merv and Boonie must be clinically obese then !

Trust an all time NZ CRICKET team to have two fucken All Blacks in there. We're a nation obsessed !
Good team though, definitely capable of sneaking a very odd win here and there.

McKechnie earned cult status both for the ABs and NZ Cricket as well.
Shane Thomson. He could start his spell bowling fast medium and be used in the middle overs bowling off-breaks. A better ODI record with bat and ball than R Latham. And the headband.

Saw the comments re Thomson while typing this out
id be more interested in fitting him into the above test XI than ODI
he did steer us to a famous test win while chasing a large 4th innings target.

I can only assume you mean Dayle, Sir RJ is the first name down in the other team, he can't be in both !!!!

No Richard, i mean you look back to the game in the 80's
Especially in OZ, Bay 13 at the MCG
Hadlee is a piston wristed gibbon etc

Hadlee was our greatest player AND a character......but I struggle with him being in a "gutsy trier" type team.
Speaking of Oz I saw this recently, so, SO good.
@Virgil said in Black Caps tour of India:
i thought it was Cult XI as in cult players...
OK, I took it as a team for guys who were characters but maybe not really top class. Gutsy triers.....basically the whole 1992 WC squad excluding Crowe.

Michael Rae deserves a mention for reviving the Chris Martin look and for the fact that you can pretty much guarantee he'll never play again despite going pretty well.

@Virgil said in NZ Cricket best XI's:
Allot was very good, shame he only played 31 games
Stats are top notch, 52 wickets @ 23.21 and SR @ 29.38interesting fun fact, only 2 Black Caps have a Strike Rate under 25 (at least 20 wickets)
One is currently in the side with 35 wicketsthe other took 60 wickets
any guess who they are without cheating?
the 2nd one is a bit surprising, not a front line bowler.
Jamieson and de Grandhomme?
