Overstating. Only toured Wi in 1986 and got creamed 2-0. Pakistan were probably better than us for pretty much the entire decade as well. They certainly hammered us in Pakistan, and the only series in NZ that I can remember was the narrow 2-1 win when Wasim made his debut and nearly knocked Lance's block off. But we were head and shoulders above oz and england in the mid 80's and were unbeatable at home.
When I say we were second in the world I mean it, we were second in the world rankings.
Yeah, it'll most likely just be a straight swap with Vettori for Ryder.
So what you actually meant was that we were the second ranked team. Not always the same as second best.
Though the rankings are there to rank the best team so \_/
We'll take it.
Went to the Wanganui Museum today - fascinating stuff. Funny thing is - they had a classroom from 1939 set up. I was amused to see the desks were the same ones I had in 1977.
I grin every time I come across the post. Dunno why.
Probably because you are an aussie and your team has achieved more.I grin every time I come across the post. Dunno why.
Haha nah has nothing to do with that; I didn't mean it in a patronising-being-#2-way. It's just that Bahnz had decided to debate something Athlai presented as/meant as a stone cold fact as if it was an opinion-based thing; then got shot down. I don't know why it tickled my fancy so much; it just did.

Kinda like this.
Well, sometimes I do patronise - no argument there - but this wasn't one of those occasions..Fair enough - take your word for it then.
