Cricket Fever

New Zeland:New Zeland has started this world cup very well.Their performance is very convincing.This Fleming lead side can go all the way.With Lou Vincent hitting century now their all batsmen have substantial innings.
Strength:
1)His name is bond not 'james bond'.He is Shane Bond.Tournament's fastest and best boeler.Also his bowling vs England where his figures are 10-2-19-2 and wickets are Big Flintoff and Kevin Peterson.Also he is threat to quality sides.He ias main weapon in Fleming's armoury.
2) Their all condition bowling attack: New Zeland possess all condition bowling attack.In swing condition they have Shane Bond ,James Franklin and Jacob Oram.Alsofor spinning track they have experienced and best Left Armer Daniel Vettori and also they have quality off spinner Jeetan Patel .Also they have good part timer Scott Styris and Craig Macmillan.Also they have good fielding side.
3)Grat lower midle order:They possess great lower middle order.They have Craig Macmillan,Jacob Oram and under rated Brandon Macmullum .Also they have all rounders like Daniel Vettori and James Franklin.Craig Macmillan and Jacob Oram are hardest hitter and bottom player in international field.
4)Captain:Fleming is longest and experienced captain.And whole team backs him up.
Loose keys:
1)Their top order:Their top order consist of Stephen Fleming,Lou Vincet and Rossy Taylor is not still convincing against top attack like they found in champions trophy.Again Rossy Taylor is not experienced and other batsman are not still consistent.
Prediction:
With 2points against England in kitty,they will likely go to semifinal .But there is chance that this tournament can

be theirs if Bond is fit and Batsman backing.
