Tough time for Black Caps

It's been tough time for me supporting Black Caps at the Sri Lankan tour. I am really dissappointed to see Black Caps losing ODI tri-series like that. I was expecting them to give lot more fight against Ind & Srl.

Followed by that forgettable tour will be a an ICC world event starting next tuesday in SA; not sure how much confidence the team will carry to that tour. But, one thing is for sure; Vettori's men should need lot of hardwork & luck to get hands on the world title.



Anyways, Come what may.....I support Dan & his team. Hope he gets the cup along with him to NZ!!!

All the best Blackcaps

I will be tweeting my views, thoughts throughtout the tournament here http://twitter.com/Blackcapsfan. See you there!!

Daniel Vettori is an absolute legend!

Daniel Vettori....One of the best left arm spinners cricket had ever had!

His simple bowling action, calm composure, zeal to perform, willing to lead from the front are really some of his golden attributes I really admire.

Be it bowling, batting, fielding or captaining the NZ side....Vettori is marvelous. Like Stephen Fleming, he is a good thinker; he reads the situation very well. Really lucky that NZ have got a player a like Vettori.

Vettori started his career as a left arm spinner at the age of 18. He was in the side for last one decade, as the frontline spinner in the team. He knows his limitations very well, and he does best in what he possess...In the last 4-5yrs, he has developed his batting skills, and had scored centuries at No.7 & 8 positions test matches.

NZ cricket board acknowleged his contribution to the team and made him a member of the selection team. Lovely player he is....His batting test record in 2009: 492 runs at 61.5. Wow!! coming at No.7 and scoring at that average shows how classy he is
