New Zealand ICC World Cup Reveiw

New Zealand go into the World Cup low on confidence, having lost 14 of their last 16 one day internationals and showing signs the selectors, coach and players have not been singing from the same song sheet.

Following their run of losses last year, the Black Caps underwent a drastic overhaul ahead of the Pakistan series with john Wright brought in as coach and an independent selection panel installed.

The master plan was assemble a side with experience six return from the team that made the World Cup semi finals four years ago with a batting line up that stretched from top to tail.

But instead of bedding in an A team, the selectors opted for a rotation system to give all 15 squad members game time in the Pakistan series with confusion over whrere best to play the swashbuckling McCullum.

The 15 man World Cup squad contains few surprises.

Newcomer Luke Woodcock joins Vettori and Nathan McCullum as the thire spinner to take advantage of the sub continent wickets and at the expense of a specialist back up wicketkeeper.

With Brendon McCullum playing down the order it ensured a place for batsman jamie How who also has the responsibility of being the second gloveman.

Whether he is required will depend on the performances of the apparent first choice top order of Martin Guptill, Jesse Ryder, Ross Taylor Sctt Styris and possibly Brendon McCullum.

Greatest Batsman Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

Tendulkar is the only male player to score a double century in the history of ODI cricket. Just 12 years into his career, Wisden ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Donald batsman, and the second greatest ODI batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards. In September 2007, the Australian leg spinner Shane Warne rated Tendulkar as the greatest player he has played with or against. Tendulkar was an integral part of the 2011 Cricket World Cup winning Indian team at the fag end of his career, his first such win in six World Cup appearances.

Tendulkar is the first and the only player in Test Cricket history to score fifty centuries, and the first to score fifty centuries in all international cricket combined, Tendulkar now has 99 centuries in international cricket. On 17 October 2008, when he surpassed Brian Lara's record for the most runs scored in Test cricket, he also became the first batsman to score 12,000, 13,000 and 14,000 runs in that form of the game, having also been the third batsman and first Indian to pass 11,000 runs in Test cricket. He was also the first player to score 10,000 runs in one-day internationals, and also the first player to cross every subsequent 1000-run mark that has been crossed in ODI cricket history and 200 runs in a ODI match. In the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Tendulkar surpassed Australia's Allan Border to become the player to cross the 50run mark the most number of times in Test cricket history, and also the second ever player to score 11 Test centuries against Australia, tying with Sir Jack Hobbs of England more than 70 years previously. Tendulkar passed 30,000 runs in international cricket on 20 November 2009. Tendulkar has been honoured with the Padma Vibhushan award, India's second highest civilian award, and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, India's highest sporting honor. Tendulkar became the first sportsperson and the first personality without an aviation background to be awarded the honorary rank of Group Captain by the Indian Air Force. He has received honorary doctorates from Mysore University and Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences Tendulkar won the 2010 Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for cricketer of the year at the ICC awards.

1992 ICC Cricket world cup History

1992 ICC Cricket world cup

The tournament was jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand and had all the trappings of a modern event-coloured clothing, white balls and black sightscreens. But Kepler Wesscls's South Africans were not amused because it also had a strange 'rain rule'. Rain halted South Africa's chase when they needed 22 to win off 13 balls against England in the semi-final. The target was revised to a ridiculous 21 off just one ball when the game resumed.

The tournament had a new format with a then record 39 matches. Nine teams played each other in the league phase, with the top four advancing to the semi-finals.

Pakistan's recovery from the brink to win the titel under inspirational skipper Imran Khan and New Zealand captain Martin Crowe's shrewd tactics of using off-spinner Dipak Patel in the early overs were among the highlights.

Pakistan were facing elimination after winning just one of their first five matehes. Imran's instructions to his team to fight like 'cornered tigers' produced results as his side won their last five matches.

Crowe defied conventions, giving the new ball to spinner Patel to surprise the opposition. New Zealand pulled off an upset in the tournament's opener when pated coneeded just 36 in 10 overs in his team's win over Australia. The in-form New Zeland kept playing impressively to move into the semi-final at Aucklend where they ran into an unpredictable Pakistan. They rode on Crowe's superb 91 to post a competitive 262-7.

Pakistan found a match-winner in young Inzamam-ul-Haq when the asking-rate was climbing. Imzamam, his captain's choice, announced his international cricket with a 37-ball 60 to help his team win.

Imran led from the front against England, top-scoring with 72 to help his side post 249-6. England then folundered against the leg-spin of Mushtap Ahmed, who removed Gooch, Graeme Hick and Dermont Reeve. Neil Fairbrother top-scored for England with 62 before Imran sparked celebrations in his team's camp by taking the last wicket.
