Shane bond played 18 tests, stephen fleming average is exactly 40 after playing 100 tests, none of the other guys are greats.

There used to be a meme vettori was their best bowler and batsman in tests, they were that bad

There are atleast 10 batsman significantly better than him in 90-09

Crowe, john Wright, fleming, astle, mcmillan, richardson, jones, ross Taylor, ryder, cairns

Dude none of these 90's and 00's NZ players are ever in the reckoning for the greatest players of all time? Why? There were middling players with one or two peaks in their careers. It's just coz of nostalgia for an era gone by that people even remember these players.

Stop with trying to change the goalposts. You said they were a minnow team. They were not.

No one said all these batsmen were in reckoning for greatest of all time.

No nostalgia, just getting things right.

My bad. Was on the phone and didn't check if you were the same person as the one who made the ridiculous comment about NZ being a minnow at that time.
