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

Andrew McDonald

Blair Pocock

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

Quiney, Beer, Doherty, Steve Smith, Manou, McKay, White, Casson, Muller

ken eastwood, wally edwards and john watkins from the 70s

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.

Dan Cullen, Matthew Nicholson, Robert Key, Darren Pattinson, Alan Mulally. This list could go on forever

Terrible call.

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.
