we are the black caps ,all talk ,no glory. we cant seem to play the game ,sack coach ,Dan Vettori. Vettori needs to take a bloody good look at himself.him and his wee acolytes are definitely erring on arrogance with their antics. Justin Vaughns "Pontius Pilate" tactics as NZ cricket CEO are also suspect. No one seems to want to grab these guys and read em the riot act.we wont win anything till they do.As an incentive I'd be halving the match fee everytime they lose.If you get less than double figures batting then its reduces to only25%.lets see how that wakes the ideas up.

Bitter much? The author of this hatchet piece clearly knows nothing about what he talks ... Moles was nowhere near good enough or experienced enough and had to go. NZ are a developing team with a decent core of senior players and some others just finding their feet. The senior boys were asked if Moles was up to the job and they answered honestly, they're trying to protect their careers and their team unity - which is just what they should be doing. And in case you're wondering, I do know what i'm talking about, i've been inside the NZ camp on a number of occasions.

Never trust a cricket result in that part of the world with a Pakistan team playing. The Black Craps are just as likely to win the next match by a big margin. Depends who the money is on.

I just wish they could be consistant, one way or the other. Consistantly good and you would feel happy and watch their games. Consistantly bad and you could forget them entirely and not waste so much time in watching games in which they fail dismally.

This 4 games rubbish, 1 game great is just frustrating and embarressing.

Accept for reading the results for another giggle I have stopped watching the Black caps and in fact find these days they may play a game and I did not even know it was on untill after the event. They are NZs most overpaid bunch of players and the worst performers we have on show.Even the womans Hockey team who had a poor Olympics came back with guts to get back into the top 6 and they are not even paid! NZ Cricket your team is a pathetic joke!

Flem #4: I reckon you should give these senior players a bit of a rev up, get them on edge. Surely they'll respect you.

Knee jerk...man there must be a need for a physio around Stuff sometimes. They lost ONE game on a surface they've never encountered before against a side that is much more familiar and suited to that deck. Does anyone remember how the ODI before this was the Champions Trophy final? Probably not with the perspective here.

The black caps players are idiots (the ones that stabbed the coach in the back! but didn't front up) they almost win a trophy, believe its them & not a product of coaching and ditch the coach and then get thrashed...i call that karma...Who wants to coach a team of primadonnas who stab you in the back the minute they start winning?

pathetic!!!!...attempt at a game of cricket by the "Black CRAPS", senior player bar Dan & Shane B only one to deserve there spots the rest are just pretenders...

For gods sake some people who follow this team are clueless. Yes we failed but every 3rd game or so we have batting collapses, even with a Rixon or a Moles, so it will always happen, as long as they front up next time. As for all these comments about players not fronting, Bond did very well, so did Redmond and Vettori but all the bagging of McCullum is stupid, at least he got double figures unlike Taylor, Oram and all the other so called batsmen. While I do believe he should be down the order as well it shouldnt be number 8, oram is worthless and should be gone so he would be in before him and Vettori is a tin ass batsman. However McCullum is a better opener than anyone else in this team (look at the World Cup in 03 for a failed experiment, Vettori and McMillan)
