New Zealand Team Discussion

[IceAgeComing]

yeah but we're talking about the team that will lose to New Zealand in the World Cup final, I don't see what India has to do with anything...

BBC Sport - Cricket World Cup 2015: Daniel Vettori may retire, McCullum hints

He's retired before and come back, this isn't news

He'll probably still be New Zealands best spinner in 2019

Nopes . India .

Pretty confident that match hasn't been played yet...

He's retired before and come back, this isn't news

Oh no, he's definitely done. He has a young family which I know is a huge deal for him, but he just absolutely loves cricket. I wouldn't be surprised if he's being groomed to take over a coaching role within the NZ set-up. Watch that space, but his playing days are done after Sunday.

 

[IceAgeComing]

He's the head coach for one of the IPL franchises, right?

That actually brings up a question, are there any players still around in international cricket that played in the 20th century? I'm sure Vettori is the last one...

 

[Biggs]

Good question, no idea... that's prolly one for @ChinamanSpin he's good with the stats...

...and yeah, Vettori coaches one of the teams, I think. You've also got Fleming floating around the periphery in the IPL as well, but I can't see Hesson retiring anytime soon but I see a Fleming/Vettori coaching combination in the near future, every chance that's around the time Kane Williamson takes over from McCullum as I think the Williamson/Fleming combo is a natural fit. Don't forget Vettori has been a player/coach for NZ in the past as well, he's hugely respected amongst the team, ex players and the NZ Cricket Board.

Until he pulls an Aasif Karim and comes back for one more World Cup.

Yea and we're talking about the World Cup, I don't see what England/Scotland has to do with anything...
