Black Caps 08/09

It is black isn't it? Just quite reflective so looks like dark blue??

It's CCC getting there brand across, those lines are the same design as there rugby jerseys.

It doesn't really bother me to be honest, my gripe is too many countries wearing green, now that aussie has changed.

Why does it look like we're Scotland?

It's definitely not black imo.

yeah, i don't like it... the old uniforms were cool

I wonder if NZ batsmen are statistically more likely to get 90's than any other country

Well NZ batsmen have always been flakey as hell so it wouldnt suprise me if we do hold that or a similair record

shame we don't have 1 more day

Oram's out for Aus

yeah... on the bright side, it means Fulton is likely to get a run... let's face it, we're not going to win this, so better to give some guys a chance to prove they're good enough to be regulars in the side (or at least prove they're not good enough so we can stop wasting time on them)

Fulton was more than good enough when he started. He's suffering from a major crisis of confidence at the moment. It's hard to watch him bat because you can see the uncertainty in his body language. Bowlers love seeing that shit.

All he needs is one really good innings I reckon.

Except that Australia is like... the worst place to tour with a confidence crisis, ever.... and there is only one warm up game

Oram plays better than any kiwi vs Australia....there is no bigger loss at this stage *Bond* than Jake for this particular series. Id have rather lost Vettori


edit: I dont mind big Pete, but I dont see much of a bright side sry

i think the issue is more, why do we make players out of glass in NZ?

i honestly think a lot of his confidence problems are because of selection policies...

and yes, Australia is not necessarily the best place to build confidence... but if he *does* somehow do well, that should be a huge boost for him
