Rob Quiney, Michael Beer, Shaun Young, Chris Rogers, Scott Muller and Shaun Tait would have to be up there...

New Zealand have only ever had a handful of players who would make another test side. Good call though, Pocock was a dud.

Would be intersting to ponder who from NZ may have made the Australian side during their era.

The obvious ones..
- Hadlee
- M Crowe
- Shane Bond
- Daniel Vettori

Probably/Possibly
- Andrew Jones (may not have batted first drop for Australia in early 90's but may have got a gig at 5 or 6
- John Wright - good batsman throughout 80's
- Stephen Fleming - probably would have been on the fringe of the Aussie side during his era
- Ian Smith - probably would have made Aussie side between retirement of Rod Marsh, and emergence of Healy
- John Bracewell - he was a DH, but perhaps he would have made the Aussie side in his era.
- Chris Cairns - would have had some stiff competition, but probably would have made Aussie side.
-Glenn Turner - perhaps?

Others for consideration - Bruce Edgar, Ken Rutherford, Danny Morrison.

Steve Smith - the 2000's version not the 80's one although the 80's one test stats probably put him up there as one of the worst.

80's version was a good one day player to watch - played like one day batsmen 15/20 years after his time.

Ross Taylor's a fair player

Nathan Astle was a fair player also. Held world record for fastest double ton at one stage i think.

Yeah he is, I forgot about him, and he would probably make our side now.

Re Astle - not sure if he would have made Australia's (Test) side during his era (mid 90's to mid 00's). May have played 10 or so Tests when there were injuries. I would imagine he would have made our one day side though.
