Why New Zealand became average team after Martin Crowe retired in 1992?

1. That's because they were only ever an average team with two great batsmen (Crowes, Jeff and Martin) and one great bowler (Hadlee). Greatbatch was a very talented batsman but could only be described as under-performing. Remember NZ has a population of about 6 million compared to 21 million in Aus and 1 billion in India. They're very good at Rugby though!!
2. Well i don't really agree. New Zealand has emerged as a good team. They won the ICC champions trophy in 2001. They white-washed Australia (3-0) in Chappell -Hadlee series last year. They have performed well against Australia in recent years. They have not been a very dominant team bcz their batting line-up hasn't done well 'under pressure'. They have good bowling line-up ( without any chuck ball cricketer ) They are also a good fielding team. So overall, New Zealand is a very competitive team. They have improved.
3. i dont think that is true..What about Steven Fleming-Dan Vettorri-Brendan McCullum-Scotty Stiris-.... Jacob Oram--Jeetan Patel... they are a good team,talent changes my dear...
4. hopeless yes , but , Stephen Flemming was an amazing player for them, but after him they are hopeless~
