Best Test XI for major Test teams in the last 20 years

#5 New Zealand

Bond is one of the most lethal bowlers from New Zealand

The New Zealand cricket team, nicknamed as Black Caps, played their first Test match in 1930 against England. Probably the most underrated team in cricket, New Zealand has been a formidable force from the outset however a major ICC trophy has eluded them in the recent past. The likes of Martin Crowe, Richard Hadlee, Stephen Fleming, Chris Cairns, Shane Bond, Daniel Vettori and many other very talented players have been decisive to boost New Zealand's supremacy. Here we take a look of their best test XI since the past two decades.
