The New Zealand Test Side 1980-2015 is...
Mark Richardson
Stephen Fleming (c)
Kane Williamson
Martin Crowe
Ross Taylor
Chris Cairns
Brendon McCullum (wk)
Daniel Vettori
Tim Southee
Shane Bond
Trent Boult
I wouldn't mind seeing them face a pre-1980 side of
John Wright
Glenn Turner
Stewie Dempster
Bert Sutcliffe
Martin Donnelly
John R. Reid (c)
Richard Hadlee
Bruce Taylor
Ken Wadsworth (wk)
Jack Cowie
Richard Collinge
or a leftovers XI of...
Tom Latham
Matt Horne
Andrew Jones
Jesse Ryder
Nathan Astle
Jacob Oram
BJ Watling (wk)
Dion Nash (c)
John Bracewell
Simon Doull
Iain O'Brien
Since I don't really count Baz the keeper and Baz the batsman as the same player I'd have him in the leftovers as skipper but I think that would be a minority opinion. The leftovers are still a very solid side tbh. Would be fine in any test era, which you can't usually say about NZ teams..
