When Dean Jones was hot there was no better IMO.

I was at this game. I'm trying to spot myself in the crowd.

There was a heatwave in Melbourne (about 41oC) and a huge factory fire in Richmond, with smoke wofting over the MCG.

The Kiwis did in Twenty20 games

Some good points. Hadlee, Wright and Marty Crowe some great names to mention. The 2001/2002 kiwi team was up there with the aussies, if not better. A 3-1 record (and should've been 4-0 if it wasn't for some Bevan magic) against Aus in Aus is up there.

i don't know if they were ever mighty. of course they were a million times better than any kiwi team before or since. but every team had quality in the 80's. when you really take a close look the only time in the 80's nz was level pegging with aussie was in the 80/81 and 82/83 series but still lost. speaking of which, how about an upload of a kiwi win over aussie? would be great to see the 206 run win from 86, or the 1 run wins of 87 and 91.

NZ lost the 82/83 series because Hadlee, who was in devastating form, was injured on the eve of the finals.

We were hopeless without him, Turner, Howarth, Crowe, Wright, Edgar, Cairns etc aside.

I've got a famous win by NZ at the SCG in '83.

It is on VHS from Channel Nine but I don't know how to upload it onto youtube?

The mighty NZ one day team of the 1980s was in decline by this series.
