Nice video Jarrod, also would be interesting to touch on the era just before Mccullum. It was an absolute shambles. Vettori was a one man team for 4-5 years there, constantly having to save us with the bat walking in at 80-6
Very big fan of Vettori here, he was always there to defend the ball and frustrate the bowlers, the bowlers can get through the entire lineup this guy just wouldn't give up, and his bowling, what an underrated spinner, if you ever walked down the pitch on him, rarely I saw batsmen not getting dismissed
I always felt the post-Hadlee 90s were our lowest times, a rotation of terrible players coupled with ill-discipline and a very negative team culture. Vettori's era at least had the beginnings of a really decent rebuild, even if it didn't always result in consistent wins
Regarding the inability to capture, nurture and retain tallent.

The whole second team thing is quite true. It even rings true about their legends. Daniel Vettori is perhaps their greatest spinner(hope Jarrod makes a video about him).

I agree. Vettori is an absolute legend as far as I am concerned, but rarely gets a mention because he played when Warne and Murli and to a certain extent Kumble were playing and making spin bowling look easy.
Absolutely brilliant, (as usual) from Jarrod. You did your homework superbly. As a kiwi who learned to love the NZ team back in the the beige days it's really pleasing to have the long, hard road so wonderfully encapsulated. Obviously I'd be over the moon if this is the start of a dynasty. I think we're perhaps one world class spinner away from that. it's not impossible to imagine the NZC trophy cabinet needing an extension. Just quietly - has there been many, (or any?) more dramatic days of sport than the 2nd Test vs S.A. in 1953. The 22,000 there that day witnessed something remarkable and unforgettable.
Jameson can bat. He used to be an opening batsman and first change bowler. I briefly taught him on placement when I was a trainee teacher. 6' 5" at 16yrs. I said to him at that stage he could become a specialist bowler, but not to hurry, as his tall frame would take time to grow into it in order to avoid injury. Obviously he's had smarter more knowledgeable people than me advising him. I know through colleagues that his father knows cricket and he comes from a good family. He's also a hell of a nice, intelligent young man. Was respectful of his peers and teachers. I was not at all surprised to see him come on to the international stage and succeed.
some indian fans are really doing everything they can to prove that NZ did'nt deserved to win, calling them home bullies and many more things. even if let's assume that NZ path was easy for this WTC but still they have come this far from many adversities. from their logic ind did'nt deserved to win 1983 world cup because west indies were better and were coming from back of really good hard cricket. but the fact still remains that ind won and that win created a huge impact on what indian cricket is now. simillarly this win for kiwis means a lot more than just a title and this will help them in future. i wish martin crowe was alive today. his last wish was to see NZ winning an ICC trophy.
@Prozakhistan i did'nt said that NZ are the best team in the world and yes when people say that they need to do it in NZ, south africa and other place is when you say that a team is best. in my opinion both NZ and ind are good teams but not best, any country at the moment can't be termed absolute best because no one is dominating. if someone says that NZ is best team then even i will say that they have lost in aus, are yet to win in ind etc. but if someone says that NZ is good test team then yes because they beat eng in eng and won WTC final. and you might not be saying but many on social media did said that NZ did'nt deserved to win and all those things. there is a difference in 'good' and 'best'.
@Prozakhistan that's sad. teams should play tests with NZ more often. after 5-6 years, virat will be on verge of retirement with rohit, pujara, rahane, ashwin, ishant, shami, already retired.
@Prozakhistan well NZ is coming india in nov for a 2 test match series, let's see how they perform here. it will be big achievement for them if they are even able to draw the series.
Awesome video from Jarrod as always. KW is my most favorite cricketer in the world. But NZ has been my third most favorite team after Ind and WI ever since McCullum changed their brand of cricket in 2013 which was so reflective in WC 2015.
Sir I'm an Indian honestly say New Zealand is not my second favourite NEW ZEALAND BLACKCAPS is my favourite team and after that My own country I know Cricket is not the National game of New Zealand but the players and the cricket board doesn't think that way, they love cricket they passionate about that they keep pushing themselves I don't know why rest of the world thing New Zealand was not that tough they can't be threatning they can't dominate But now things changed they qualified for 2015 and 2019 WC lose the last WC final bcz of the disgusting rule and after that when start was not that good they still managed to qualify for WTC final and win it like a Champion's and crowned champions of inaugural world test Championship This team has everything two dashing solid test opener then kane,Ross, Nicholls and now blundal in the place of Watling De grandhom, Jamieson,Southee,Wagner,Boult 🔥🔥🔥🔥 No 1 in Test and Odis now they have to dominate every single team and in all conditions Beat India in Test in india and Beat Australia should be their Next priority they already Beat England ❤️
Man why is ur analysis and research so good? I appreciate u r effort for cricketing analysis. I am 100% sure u r analysis puts lots of stupid crickets showoff media analysts to shame.
This is such a good take ... people don't play cricket here for the money, or to pick up the honeys at the bar. Jamieson could do virtually anything sporty - he could be an All Black lock, he could get an NBA contract. For such an exceptional physical specimen and athletic talent, the world's literally his oyster (in this nation in particular). He's there because he really wants to be there - and that's the most intimidating thing (or it should be). The beast wants to play cricket, he's loving it. He's diving-into the deep end and grabbing the cricket world by its nuts, because he wants it - not because he's a failed rugby player, etc, but because cricket in NZ has really gotten some real, proper prestige in recent years.
This is true for NZ, I think the main reason for that Brendon McCullum, he changed the cricket scenario for NZ and the world, they can cash money by playing leagues, and he developed an attitude of never give up playing cricket in a good way, but NZ was playing fair cricket that's another fact, he brought the aura to cricket, to play aggressive giving everything in the field, fair cricket, and he's one of the stars who helped t20 cricket to grow, now where it is, the first innings of ipl changed the world cricket to look cricket differently and gave the start to ipl, which was needed the most
One seriously special thing I notice among the Kiwis that I don't see in any other team is that, they always focus on the larger picture. Always play as a team. Every single player performs his role even if a small one. Their batsman almost always get starts and make the job easier for others. Their bowlers always hunt in packs rather than focusing on individual records. And they are the best fielding team in the world at the moment. And I think the leadership of Kane Williamson brings that out. I've never seen him angry at a player for not performing, never scolds his teammates, graciously accepts every loss and just focuses on his job. No excuses Most of the other teams, however depend on Large individual contributions to win Go the Kiwis!!! Lot more success to come.
I think the rise of NZ under Kane Williamson was overdue. 2 consecutive Worldcup finals is no easy feat. In WTC they dominated the best batting lineup in the world. The decade might belong to NZ cricket if they have a system in place like OP pointed out. ( IPL increasingly bringing the big bucks is substantially raising the level of the game )

@@kevinmenezes8386 the main reason is Leadership. Cricket captain has a pivot role in the team compared to most sports. He has carried the team well. Being an inspiration figurehead also helps. Kane was predicted to lead NZ cricket like their rugby counterpart. Time it becomes true.
this made me so emotional Jarrod...thank you for this...I wish someday such video will be made for Bangladesh...I just hope it happens till i'm alive :p
Really enjoyed this take on the history of New Zealand's cricket and how they got to this point. Some awesome research is done into some of NZ's earliest guns too. Side note... Jack Cowi and Bert Sutcliffe attended the same high school in Auckland. Imagine facing that old boys team!
Just goes to show how many there have been who could only be NZ. Richard Collinge, Lance and Chris Cairns, Bev Congdon, Martin Snedden, Danny Morrison, Geoff Howarth, Mark Greatbatch, John Bracewell, Adam Parore etc...
I loved vettori as a kid because I had to wear glasses at a very young age, and seeing a cricketer rocking specs made feel less uncomfortable about the whole thing
It is a bizarre thought to consider that New Zealand could have started off their time in Test cricket with a team built around this core of players: 1. Stewie Dempster 2. 3. 4. Giff Vivian 5. Martin Donnelly 6. 7. 8. Ken James (wk) 9. Clarrie Grimmett 10. Jack Cowie 11. Fill those gaps with even half-decent players - like a young Bert Sutcliffe - and that's a serious team. But of course those players never took the field together, for all the reasons you've covered
great stuff Jarrod, kiwis have been my second tram since the days of Bev Congden and Vic Pollard (who once appeared on Radio4's 'Thought for the Day', another quirky fact)
they could have had 2019 wc as well, what a story it would have been , defeating a team in a wc final whom your ancestors drew 4 times just to get a full fledged series
This is my favorite cricket analysis channel and i have subscribed to a lot. If there is a patreon link you can post to get support, please do. Appreaciate the data and the content!
I am not sure about NZ not being a threatening team. For us Indians they've had the wood over us when it mattered the most, since that Champions trophy in Kenya and in the recent WC 2019 and WTC 2021 to name a few and still NZ is my favourite team after India. It hurt me more when they lost that Final in WC 2019 the way they did, it was just heartbreaking to see them distraught after that loss. They've always been humble about the way they play their game and that's why they are at the top in that regards no other team comes close and now they're deservingly world champions.
NZ for a long time has been like the early years of F1, where you'd have to build your car and race it against factory teams with unlimited budgets. Still kind of there.
Walter Hadlee is another example of the leadership lineage which produced Kane Williamson. The accountant leading the team to those four draws in England in 49, whilst doing the accounts. No other nation would have that.
Been following NZ cricket since the "Black wash", a series in Bang in 2010 where NZ lost 4-0 and the fans back in NZ starting burning posters. . . . John Wright was hired as coach and he spurred the Kiwis to an unexpected semifinal finish in the WC 2011, to be the only non Asian team to make it the last 4. My only criticism with NZ cricket since then is the handling of Mitchell Mcglenhagan. Why he was sidelined at a time when he could have been fastest to 100 Odi wkts is a mystery
Another example of a what-might-have-been for NZ is Shane Bond. Yes, he was injured a lot, but he also had 5 years out of the international team due to NZC not understanding Indian politics.
Rodney Redmond also deserved a mention. Scored a century and a fifty on debut but never played another test match because the guy he replaced got fit again for next tour to England. And selectors were to stubborn to select Redmond again.
The one team anybody would be ok losing to would be NZ. They've had their share of bad luck and if some luck played a part in winning the WTC, then be it. It really shouldn't matter much as they have been consistently putting their hearts out to achieve this for so long that this shouldn't really be considered fluky.
Another name that didn't play for NZ Tom Pritchard - contemporary of Cowie - never played for NZ. Played for Warwickshire. Started off genuinely fast, became an extremely skillful fast-medium operator. 818 FC wickets at 23.00. Cowie and Pritchard as opening pair would have been truly formidable.
Got beaten by Aussie in Australia- the two game changing players were not playing. Warm up match in England. 6 of the first stringers played one of those warm up matches and only played one innings in that one game. India was at South Hampton practicing a week before NZ. India has an excellent batting record against swing - second only to NZ ( check our Brad Hoggs podcast) and conditions in England are actually not as similar to NZ as people make out. Refer to Hoggs podcast again. India are the better team in India. NZ clearly the better team in NZ. NZ won the championship game in England. Kiwis have failed in Aussie like India has failed in NZ. The England team thst took on NZ was a second string team as was the kiwi team thst took on the English in the second test. All the history aside. The Kiwis are deserving world Champs. Let's hope India doesn't convince the ICC to destroy the final game by introducing more tests. It's the ultimate test. The ultimate pressure cooker. No second chances. That is what India wants because time and time again they're struggling struggling handle the pressure that is so very unique unique them given the love there country has for the game. NZ has been in enough finals and would've loved another crack at it but didn't hear complaints from the winners back then, just as India never complained about the final test format until they lost.
Our away record needs further work, but the hyper focus on it can be pretty hypocritical. We've actually got one of the tidier ones going around now with recent victories in the UAE and England, and Australia couldn't see off India at home...Australia probably the only other side who might have deserved a place in the final, but they dug their own grave.
"NZ got a practice series against England right before the final" Well, A) we haven't played a test in England since 2015, and even then that was only 2 tests, India played 4 tests only 2 or 3 years ago, and B) it was likely scheduled well before NZ were declared as finalists, to go ahead regardless so that both England and NZ get some game time even if neither qualified.
I still don't get how NZ produces Hadlees and Williamsons! On paper, a small country with a flat cricketing system shouldn't be able to achieve such magic. But you might be right: it must be the kiwi spirit!
Interestingly, IL Bula will turn 100 in 3 days time. But it is unclear if he is still alive or not. Some reports say not but there's no conclusive proof online it seems.
If you play cricket in NZ you don't often get much choice for training to play - you learn the game either on a bumpy lawn or piece of asphalt, and only then do you get the chance to play on a proper surface...

I agree. Vettori is an absolute legend as far as I am concerned, but rarely gets a mention because he played when Warne and Murli and to a certain extent Kumble were playing and making spin bowling look easy.
@@anuragpani2379 Vettori was also much better than all 3 of them with the bat and was a leader
i m happy NZ won and i cant forget astle's batting against Eng. one of the best test innings.
For me they will always be my first favourite team and this video has confirmed my reasons for supporting them. Thanks @Jarrod Kimber for making this,
So happy I found this channel!
Thank you Jarrod, that was very well put and is why we long-term NZ fans are so deleriously happy this week!
Absolutely brilliant, (as usual) from Jarrod. You did your homework superbly. As a kiwi who learned to love the NZ team back in the the beige days it's really pleasing to have the long, hard road so wonderfully encapsulated. Obviously I'd be over the moon if this is the start of a dynasty. I think we're perhaps one world class spinner away from that. it's not impossible to imagine the NZC trophy cabinet needing an extension. Just quietly - has there been many, (or any?) more dramatic days of sport than the 2nd Test vs S.A. in 1953. The 22,000 there that day witnessed something remarkable and unforgettable.
Never enjoyed a video about cricketing history (what goes in making) more than this one .Oh wait ...there aren't many 👍👊
Great video Jarrod... These amazing stories really made me appreciate NZ's win even more.
Jameson can bat. He used to be an opening batsman and first change bowler. I briefly taught him on placement when I was a trainee teacher. 6' 5" at 16yrs. I said to him at that stage he could become a specialist bowler, but not to hurry, as his tall frame would take time to grow into it in order to avoid injury.
Obviously he's had smarter more knowledgeable people than me advising him. I know through colleagues that his father knows cricket and he comes from a good family. He's also a hell of a nice, intelligent young man. Was respectful of his peers and teachers.
I was not at all surprised to see him come on to the international stage and succeed.
Beautiful. You got a new subscriber today. Congratulations on this great historic win.
Came here from the Wagner video. Looking for nz content. Now there's so much lmao. Thankyouu
some indian fans are really doing everything they can to prove that NZ did'nt deserved to win, calling them home bullies and many more things. even if let's assume that NZ path was easy for this WTC but still they have come this far from many adversities. from their logic ind did'nt deserved to win 1983 world cup because west indies were better and were coming from back of really good hard cricket. but the fact still remains that ind won and that win created a huge impact on what indian cricket is now. simillarly this win for kiwis means a lot more than just a title and this will help them in future.
i wish martin crowe was alive today. his last wish was to see NZ winning an ICC trophy.
Yes.....The legendary Martin Crowe must have been so proud of this team. He's blessing them from above
@Prozakhistan i did'nt said that NZ are the best team in the world and yes when people say that they need to do it in NZ, south africa and other place is when you say that a team is best. in my opinion both NZ and ind are good teams but not best, any country at the moment can't be termed absolute best because no one is dominating. if someone says that NZ is best team then even i will say that they have lost in aus, are yet to win in ind etc. but if someone says that NZ is good test team then yes because they beat eng in eng and won WTC final. and you might not be saying but many on social media did said that NZ did'nt deserved to win and all those things. there is a difference in 'good' and 'best'.
@Prozakhistan and NZ.
@Prozakhistan that's sad. teams should play tests with NZ more often. after 5-6 years, virat will be on verge of retirement with rohit, pujara, rahane, ashwin, ishant, shami, already retired.
@Prozakhistan well NZ is coming india in nov for a 2 test match series, let's see how they perform here. it will be big achievement for them if they are even able to draw the series.
Thankyou for bringing up the older NZ legacy players.
Awesome video from Jarrod as always. KW is my most favorite cricketer in the world. But NZ has been my third most favorite team after Ind and WI ever since McCullum changed their brand of cricket in 2013 which was so reflective in WC 2015.
Most underrated cricket channel.
Brilliant video once again.
Thanks Jarrod,
Great piece, well-presented and got me all emotional too!
Sir I'm an Indian honestly say New Zealand is not my second favourite NEW ZEALAND BLACKCAPS is my favourite team and after that My own country
I know Cricket is not the National game of New Zealand but the players and the cricket board doesn't think that way, they love cricket they passionate about that they keep pushing themselves
I don't know why rest of the world thing New Zealand was not that tough they can't be threatning they can't dominate
But now things changed they qualified for 2015 and 2019 WC lose the last WC final bcz of the disgusting rule and after that when start was not that good they still managed to qualify for WTC final and win it like a Champion's and crowned champions of inaugural world test Championship
This team has everything two dashing solid test opener then kane,Ross, Nicholls and now blundal in the place of Watling De grandhom, Jamieson,Southee,Wagner,Boult 🔥🔥🔥🔥
No 1 in Test and Odis now they have to dominate every single team and in all conditions Beat India in Test in india and Beat Australia should be their Next priority they already Beat England ❤️
Man why is ur analysis and research so good? I appreciate u r effort for cricketing analysis.
I am 100% sure u r analysis puts lots of stupid crickets showoff media analysts to shame.
This is such a good take ... people don't play cricket here for the money, or to pick up the honeys at the bar. Jamieson could do virtually anything sporty - he could be an All Black lock, he could get an NBA contract. For such an exceptional physical specimen and athletic talent, the world's literally his oyster (in this nation in particular). He's there because he really wants to be there - and that's the most intimidating thing (or it should be). The beast wants to play cricket, he's loving it. He's diving-into the deep end and grabbing the cricket world by its nuts, because he wants it - not because he's a failed rugby player, etc, but because cricket in NZ has really gotten some real, proper prestige in recent years.
This is true for NZ, I think the main reason for that Brendon McCullum, he changed the cricket scenario for NZ and the world, they can cash money by playing leagues, and he developed an attitude of never give up playing cricket in a good way, but NZ was playing fair cricket that's another fact, he brought the aura to cricket, to play aggressive giving everything in the field, fair cricket, and he's one of the stars who helped t20 cricket to grow, now where it is, the first innings of ipl changed the world cricket to look cricket differently and gave the start to ipl, which was needed the most
Thanks for this video. I love your analyses, very impartial and informed. It is a pleasure to watch.
One seriously special thing I notice among the Kiwis that I don't see in any other team is that, they always focus on the larger picture.
Always play as a team. Every single player performs his role even if a small one. Their batsman almost always get starts and make the job easier for others. Their bowlers always hunt in packs rather than focusing on individual records. And they are the best fielding team in the world at the moment. And I think the leadership of Kane Williamson brings that out. I've never seen him angry at a player for not performing, never scolds his teammates, graciously accepts every loss and just focuses on his job. No excuses
Most of the other teams, however depend on Large individual contributions to win
Go the Kiwis!!! Lot more success to come.
NZ has always been pretty good at the fielding part. Bowling/Batting, sometimes, sometimes not. Fielding has always been a strength.
Great article. Its been a long time coming to get some props. Cheers for your take Jarrod.
I think the rise of NZ under Kane Williamson was overdue.
2 consecutive Worldcup finals is no easy feat. In WTC they dominated the best batting lineup in the world.
The decade might belong to NZ cricket if they have a system in place like OP pointed out.
( IPL increasingly bringing the big bucks is substantially raising the level of the game )
The blessing in disguise for NZ cricket is the little amount of cricket they play during the year and as their players are not on huge contracts with the board, the NZC allows these players to participate in county and other domestic leagues oversees. . . .
This is one of the main reasons that the players are fresh and motivated when it comes to big ICC tournaments, where they always punch above their weights. . .
@@kevinmenezes8386 the main reason is Leadership. Cricket captain has a pivot role in the team compared to most sports.
He has carried the team well. Being an inspiration figurehead also helps.
Kane was predicted to lead NZ cricket like their rugby counterpart. Time it becomes true.
this made me so emotional Jarrod...thank you for this...I wish someday such video will be made for Bangladesh...I just hope it happens till i'm alive :p
Just done a podcast on Bangladesh’s first big victory over England. Search Double century in your podcast app
Really enjoyed this take on the history of New Zealand's cricket and how they got to this point. Some awesome research is done into some of NZ's earliest guns too. Side note... Jack Cowi and Bert Sutcliffe attended the same high school in Auckland. Imagine facing that old boys team!
How does Vetorri not get a mention here? In-excusable really...
Just goes to show how many there have been who could only be NZ. Richard Collinge, Lance and Chris Cairns, Bev Congdon, Martin Snedden, Danny Morrison, Geoff Howarth, Mark Greatbatch, John Bracewell, Adam Parore etc...
Vettori was a revolutionary spinner 😉
@@NeilWeedon Ewan Chatfield, Steven Book, Ken Wadsworth, Jeff Wilson, Brian McKechnie, “The Mantis”.
I loved vettori as a kid because I had to wear glasses at a very young age, and seeing a cricketer rocking specs made feel less uncomfortable about the whole thing
I agree. NZs socond best bowler behind Hadlee in my opinion, and the World's best number 8 batsmen for sometime.
Great wordsmithmanship. Cheers
that was so epic near brought me to tears as the biggest nz cricket fan. He summed it up well. No reason why nz can,t defend that title too
live you brother what a story you provided it's much worth to watch trust me it makes me thinking of moving to New Zealand again and again 🇳🇿
Another awesome video Jarrod! Big thanks!
It is a bizarre thought to consider that New Zealand could have started off their time in Test cricket with a team built around this core of players:
1. Stewie Dempster
2.
3.
4. Giff Vivian
5. Martin Donnelly
6.
7.
8. Ken James (wk)
9. Clarrie Grimmett
10. Jack Cowie
11.
Fill those gaps with even half-decent players - like a young Bert Sutcliffe - and that's a serious team. But of course those players never took the field together, for all the reasons you've covered
Cowie was a couple of years later. But you are right, I mean that is up there with WI or Pak at the start, and better than most teams by a distance.
great stuff Jarrod, kiwis have been my second tram since the days of Bev Congden and Vic Pollard (who once appeared on Radio4's 'Thought for the Day', another quirky fact)
Ben Stokes and Jamison as a middle order would've been nice for NZ. Jamison will get better with the bat. He will be an all- rounder.
Great video! Loved the history - thanks for the education!
Very insightful! Results can be seen when you have a robust system in place.
well said Jarrod, spot on
That’s a great line near the end. But it’s taken them 91 years to win a championship (not 81)!
Oh shit. You’re right. Whiops
they could have had 2019 wc as well, what a story it would have been , defeating a team in a wc final whom your ancestors drew 4 times just to get a full fledged series
This is my favorite cricket analysis channel and i have subscribed to a lot. If there is a patreon link you can post to get support, please do. Appreaciate the data and the content!
I am not sure about NZ not being a threatening team. For us Indians they've had the wood over us when it mattered the most, since that Champions trophy in Kenya and in the recent WC 2019 and WTC 2021 to name a few and still NZ is my favourite team after India. It hurt me more when they lost that Final in WC 2019 the way they did, it was just heartbreaking to see them distraught after that loss. They've always been humble about the way they play their game and that's why they are at the top in that regards no other team comes close and now they're deservingly world champions.
You’re mentioning two things of the last two years. They were non threading for much of their first 70 odd years
'now they are more than that they are no.1'-Sir jarrod kimber
Congdon, Burgess, Vivian, Morgan. He can't mention everybody. This is brilliant stuff.
Yes, someone people do believe it's a list. As Peter McGlashan said to me recently, a lot of people have played for the Kiwis.
NZ for a long time has been like the early years of F1, where you'd have to build your car and race it against factory teams with unlimited budgets. Still kind of there.
"Choose your own adventure cricketer" ❤
Walter Hadlee is another example of the leadership lineage which produced Kane Williamson. The accountant leading the team to those four draws in England in 49, whilst doing the accounts. No other nation would have that.
My podcast Double Century has a bit more on him for a future episode.
Been following NZ cricket since the "Black wash", a series in Bang in 2010 where NZ lost 4-0 and the fans back in NZ starting burning posters. . . .
John Wright was hired as coach and he spurred the Kiwis to an unexpected semifinal finish in the WC 2011, to be the only non Asian team to make it the last 4.
My only criticism with NZ cricket since then is the handling of Mitchell Mcglenhagan. Why he was sidelined at a time when he could have been fastest to 100 Odi wkts is a mystery
You seems to have great knowledge of cricket .seen you in many videos ,🤟
The only team which used Mitch a way better was Mumbai Indians,
NZ tm is a symbol of hope, if you play the right way you will win, NZ win gave other teams hope, that they can be strong and not always be an underdog
Great video with a great script. But no mention of Bond certainly was surprising
Was it? I didn't mention plenty of incredible cricketers from New Zealand. Dan Vettori isn't in it.
Great video!! Loving this!!
Very insightful.
Another example of a what-might-have-been for NZ is Shane Bond. Yes, he was injured a lot, but he also had 5 years out of the international team due to NZC not understanding Indian politics.
Rodney Redmond also deserved a mention. Scored a century and a fifty on debut but never played another test match because the guy he replaced got fit again for next tour to England. And selectors were to stubborn to select Redmond again.
Outstanding.
Fantastic Video
The one team anybody would be ok losing to would be NZ. They've had their share of bad luck and if some luck played a part in winning the WTC, then be it. It really shouldn't matter much as they have been consistently putting their hearts out to achieve this for so long that this shouldn't really be considered fluky.
Damn, Sir Julien Cahn gets a mention. That's a unique cricketing name right there
John Reid was a world class all-rounder and leader , comfortably a top 5 all time NZ great
No mention of Shane Bond. He was the first Kiwi cricketer that caught my eye.
I did consider mentioning every kiwi player ever, but there has been a lot of them.
@@JarrodKimberYT You could have beat boxed their names🤷
Loved it mate
Another name that didn't play for NZ Tom Pritchard - contemporary of Cowie - never played for NZ. Played for Warwickshire. Started off genuinely fast, became an extremely skillful fast-medium operator. 818 FC wickets at 23.00. Cowie and Pritchard as opening pair would have been truly formidable.
I have not heard of him, will add him to my list.
Got beaten by Aussie in Australia- the two game changing players were not playing.
Warm up match in England. 6 of the first stringers played one of those warm up matches and only played one innings in that one game.
India was at South Hampton practicing a week before NZ.
India has an excellent batting record against swing - second only to NZ ( check our Brad Hoggs podcast) and conditions in England are actually not as similar to NZ as people make out. Refer to Hoggs podcast again.
India are the better team in India. NZ clearly the better team in NZ. NZ won the championship game in England.
Kiwis have failed in Aussie like India has failed in NZ.
The England team thst took on NZ was a second string team as was the kiwi team thst took on the English in the second test.
All the history aside. The Kiwis are deserving world Champs. Let's hope India doesn't convince the ICC to destroy the final game by introducing more tests. It's the ultimate test. The ultimate pressure cooker. No second chances. That is what India wants because time and time again they're struggling struggling handle the pressure that is so very unique unique them given the love there country has for the game. NZ has been in enough finals and would've loved another crack at it but didn't hear complaints from the winners back then, just as India never complained about the final test format until they lost.
Loved it!!
Our away record needs further work, but the hyper focus on it can be pretty hypocritical. We've actually got one of the tidier ones going around now with recent victories in the UAE and England, and Australia couldn't see off India at home...Australia probably the only other side who might have deserved a place in the final, but they dug their own grave.
Shout out to Ilford's 2nd XI and the Essex League on Play Cricket
Excellent!
Jarrod thank you for the shoutout to my home team, Ilford CC 😂😂
Do they even have a second XI?
@@JarrodKimberYT they do cause even I got to play in it. Pretty sure Nasser has mentioned us a few times too 😉😅
Jarrod, can you do a comparison of Imran, Botham, Hadlee and Kapil?
I hope that smaller nations can take inspiration from NZ
James Brown and Henry Rollins referenced in a cricket video - subscribed
13:00 I wonder if New Zealand cricket can pull a similar stunt now... Prove we deserve more than 2 match test series'.
I'm English and of aussie descent so Australia have always been my second team which is pretty shit when it comes to the ashes
2:28
"they have been sort of relevant" *wink*
"NZ got a practice series against England right before the final"
Well, A) we haven't played a test in England since 2015, and even then that was only 2 tests, India played 4 tests only 2 or 3 years ago, and B) it was likely scheduled well before NZ were declared as finalists, to go ahead regardless so that both England and NZ get some game time even if neither qualified.
I Love NZ, Wish they win more ICC championship
My uncle coached Jamieson at u16 lvl. I know he would be proud if he was still alive.
I still don't get how NZ produces Hadlees and Williamsons! On paper, a small country with a flat cricketing system shouldn't be able to achieve such magic. But you might be right: it must be the kiwi spirit!
M. D. Crowe/ Fleming/ Bond ...
Cameron green is almost as tall as Jamieson and quicker hopefully he will turn his potential soon.
3:09 truth
Prépare one for South Africa mate. They will win a championship soon.
Not sure how KJ isn't locking for the ABs
Does anyone know what the name of the background music he uses in these last knock videos?
Interestingly, IL Bula will turn 100 in 3 days time. But it is unclear if he is still alive or not. Some reports say not but there's no conclusive proof online it seems.
1:27
Okay, i can't imagine myself playing on a concrete pitch haha
The ball wouldn't bounce and it would just come so fast.
Bounces heaps on a concrete pitch! You still get them in NZ haha
If you play cricket in NZ you don't often get much choice for training to play - you learn the game either on a bumpy lawn or piece of asphalt, and only then do you get the chance to play on a proper surface...
