They need to embrace it, and the public needs to get behind it and acknowledge it for what it is."Sometimes we possibly look at the opposition and say 'oh, they're not relly that good'. Let's just look at this Black Caps side and say they are good, and they're playing terrific cricket at the moment."However, he admits the only question mark over this current side is the position of Tom LathamLISTEN ABOVE AS SIMON DOULL SPEAKS WITH THE RADIO SPORT BREAKFASTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Black Cap and Sky cricket commentator Craig Cumming says New Zealand's domestic Twenty20 competition - the Burger King Super Smash is almost as good as the Big Bash in Australia.Cumming says there are only two things the Super Smash lacks compared to the BBL - and that is the grounds are smaller and we can't get 40,000 people to the games."Our grounds are smaller so quite often it's a different style of cricket we play compared to the Big Bash."But the only difference is, and you talk to any of the players, the standard is really high. You just need to look at the pros we get over here and some of them get smashed."Our quality of cricket is as good as the Big Bash, what we lack is 40,000 people going to the ground. If we were able to get a few more thousand into each ground and create a little bit more atmosphere, everything would go together."LISTEN ABOVE AS CRAIG CUMMING SPEAKS WITH RADIO SPORT BREAKFASTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Black Caps coach Mike Hesson can't help but smile at the rewards he's seeing.Captain Kane Williamson and fast bowlers Tim Southee and Trent Boult were rested for parts of the West Indies tour of New Zealand, resulting in plenty of criticism and questioning of the reasoning.But Hesson says the side's three comfortable one day international wins against Pakistan has shown the plan has worked."Without a doubt. I think that's part of what we do, we can't just roll out the same guys every single game for six-and-a-half months and expect the performance to stay the same. "It's part of what we do, and the players have got to buy into that as well and they do."The fourth ODI between the Black Caps and Pakistan is tomorrow in Hamilton.LISTEN ABOVE AS MIKE HESSON SPEAKS WITH THE RADIO SPORT BREAKFASTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
