New Zealand will be hard to beat: Richards
Sir Vivian Richards has added his voice to the list of experts singing the praises of New Zealand at the World Cup.
Richards said New Zealand were capable of winning the tournament, even though they were slipping under the radar of some viewers.
“I like New Zealand’s approach,” Richards told The New Zealand Herald.
“They’re quietly bubbling away, making no noise, and getting stronger by the day. They’re just going about their work with the minimum of fuss and bother; getting things done quietly but surely — I think they like it like that,” he added.
Richards’ comments came after Ian Chappell tipped New Zealand as the only side who could seriously challenge Australia. Richards said New Zealand were impressive in their 3-0 Chappell-Hadlee Trophy win over Australia and had carried their form through to the Caribbean.
“You just get the feeling they’re peaking at the right time, and they’ve got all contingencies covered,” he said.
“They’ve got a good squad, they seem confident and in good form, and I can see them sneaking up on everyone,” he added.
