« Dravid - an occupation for the connoisseur | Johnson's burst gives Test cricket more life »

Black Caps or New Zealand?
Some team nick-names grow on you, but there are those that don't. The New Zealand Herald's David Leggat wants to know what's wrong with being called the New Zealand cricket team.
The other day in a conversation with New Zealand seamer Iain O'Brien, he spoke of what it means to be known as a test cricketer. "Every day is a dream come true. To call myself a test cricketer is pretty cool," he said. And I'll bet if he was asked how he wanted to be known, it would be as a New Zealand test cricketer, not a Black Caps cricketer. To be fair, most of his teammates most likely privately feel the same.
