Daniel Vettori: New Zealand Can Become a Top Side

New Zealand is currently playing against Sri Lanka in a crunch game of Champions Trophy 2009. After losing the first game to South Africa, New Zealand now must win the next two including the current one if they are to make it to the semi final.


New Zealand’s recent form is not good enough to bet on them, but Captain Daniel Vettori is confident of reaching the last four. He has also said that New Zealand people has all the rights to question on their performance if they fail to reach the semi final in the tournament.


Nzherald reported:

"If we don't win one, then questions have to be asked," Vettori said forthrightly from Johannesburg.

"The team here is good enough to win. It's a strong side and a very balanced one and we have got to get past that potential tag and get results on the board.

"There's no reason why we can't be one of the best sides in the world. We have got a long way to go in test cricket, but in Twenty20 and one-dayers, this is a very good side."

Can you sound the determination in New Zealand captain’s voice? Well, I do it for sure. I also think that New Zealand has the ability to progress to the semi final, if their players can play at their best. I agree with Vettori on the fact that New Zealand has every reason to become one of the best sides in the world.
