Poetic words of inspiration for our beloved national cricket team.
Remember when people wanted Marty Guptill dropped?
Some words of prayer to Natty Mac, sacred deity of New Zealand Cricket ahead of a huge quarter-final.
Ruthlessness, gotta love being ruthless whether it's applying the 3 second rule to those chicken salted chippies or dismantling your cricketing enemy.
It's Wednesday and I'm feeling good because the lads know that they just gotta #DoYourJob
Chris Gayle in Aotearoa is a bit of a myth, but his swag is definitely no myth
The Black Caps play the West Indies on Saturday. Today, it's Monday
Winner, winner, horse dinner ... ? All that matters for the Black Caps against Bangladesh tomorrow is getting that win
There's only a few batsmen who can completely disregard the bowlers, the swing, the pace and just go out and whack it

It all starts with the pace bowlers, the seam bowlers, the swing bowlers, the fellas who run in off more than 10 yards and biff it down the pitch.
The West Indies offer more off field news than actual substantial performances with bat and ball, which makes them the weirdest team at the World Cup.
South Africa also have a highly talented group of lads, but the resurgence of JP Duminy in recent years has been a joy to watch and he should continue to impress throughout the World Cup.
Even if the younger brigade of Pakistani batsmen struggle to make the adjustments for the extra swing,seam and bounce they will still have Khan, ul Haq, Hafeez and Afridi who have done it all before
