El equipo nacional de cricket de Nueva Zelanda representa a Nueva Zelanda en el cricket internacional masculino . Apodados los Blackcaps , jugaron su primera prueba en 1930 contra Inglaterra en Christchurch , convirtiéndose en el quinto país en jugar cricket de prueba. Desde 1930, Nueva Zelanda tuvo que esperar hasta 1956, más de 26 años, para su primera victoria de prueba, contra las Indias Occidentales en Eden Park en Auckland . ^[13] Jugaron su primer ODI en la temporada 1972-73 contra Pakistán en Christchurch.

El capitán actual en todos los formatos del juego es Kane Williamson , quien reemplazó a Brendon McCullum después del retiro de este último en diciembre de 2015. La selección nacional está organizada por New Zealand Cricket .

El equipo de cricket de Nueva Zelanda se hizo conocido como Blackcaps en enero de 1998, después de que su patrocinador en ese momento, Clear Communications , organizara una competencia para elegir un nombre para el equipo. ^[14] Este es uno de los muchos apodos de selecciones nacionales relacionados con los All Blacks .

Al 10 de marzo de 2021, Nueva Zelanda ha jugado 1360 partidos internacionales, ganando 524, perdiendo 611, empatando 15 y empatando 166 partidos, mientras que 44 partidos terminaron sin resultado. ^[15] El equipo ocupa el segundo lugar en las pruebas , el primero en ODI y el tercero en T20I según la ICC . ^[16] Nueva Zelanda ha alcanzado dos finales de la Copa del Mundo, en 2015 y 2019. Derrotaron a Sudáfrica en la semifinal de la Copa del Mundo de 2015 , que fue su primera victoria en la semifinal de una copa del mundo, pero finalmente perdieron ante Trans. -Tasman rivaliza con Australia . ^[17] En el próximo Mundial de 2019, Nueva Zelanda volvió a llegar a la final que perdió ante la anfitriona Inglaterra en la cuenta de límites después del partido y el posterior Super Over terminaron ambos empatados. ^{[18] [19] [20] [21]}

Historia

Inicios del cricket en Nueva Zelanda

El reverendo Henry Williams proporcionó a la historia el primer informe de un juego de cricket en Nueva Zelanda, cuando escribió en su diario en diciembre de 1832 sobre niños en Paihia y sus alrededores en la playa de Horotutu que jugaban al cricket. En 1835, Charles Darwin y el HMS  Beagle llegaron a Bay of Islands en su épica circunnavegación de la Tierra y Darwin fue testigo de un juego de críquet jugado por esclavos maoríes liberados y el hijo de un misionero en Waimate North. Darwin en El viaje del Beagle escribió: ^[22]

varios jóvenes redimidos por los misioneros de la esclavitud fueron empleados en la granja. Por la noche vi a un grupo de ellos jugando al cricket.

El primer juego de cricket registrado en Nueva Zelanda tuvo lugar en Wellington en diciembre de 1842. El Wellington Spectator informa sobre un juego el 28 de diciembre de 1842 jugado por un equipo "rojo" y un equipo "azul" del Wellington Club. El examinador de Nelson informó de la primera coincidencia completamente registrada entre los Surveyors y Nelson en marzo de 1844.

El primer equipo en recorrer Nueva Zelanda fue el XI de toda Inglaterra de Parr en 1863–64. Entre 1864 y 1914, 22 equipos extranjeros realizaron una gira por Nueva Zelanda. Inglaterra envió 6 equipos, Australia 15 y uno de Fiji .

Del 15 al 17 de febrero de 1894, el primer equipo que representó a Nueva Zelanda jugó contra Nueva Gales del Sur en Lancaster Park en Christchurch. Nueva Gales del Sur ganó por 160 carreras. Nueva Gales del Sur regresó de nuevo en 1895–96 y Nueva Zelanda ganó el juego solitario por 142 carreras, su primera victoria. El Consejo de Críquet de Nueva Zelanda se formó a finales de 1894.

Nueva Zelanda jugó sus dos primeros partidos internacionales (no pruebas) en 1904–05 contra un equipo de Australia repleto de estrellas que contenía jugadores como Victor Trumper , Warwick Armstrong y Clem Hill . La lluvia salvó a Nueva Zelanda de una paliza en el primer partido, pero no en el segundo, que Nueva Zelanda perdió por una entrada y 358 carreras, actualmente la segunda derrota más grande en la historia de primera clase de Nueva Zelanda.

Período de entreguerras

En 1927, Nueva Zelanda realizó una gira por Inglaterra . Jugaron 26 partidos de primera clase, en su mayoría contra equipos del condado. Ganaron siete partidos, incluidos los contra Worcestershire , Glamorgan , Somerset y Derbyshire . Sobre la base de las actuaciones de esta gira, Nueva Zelanda recibió el estado de Prueba .

En 1929/30, el MCC realizó una gira por Nueva Zelanda y jugó 4 pruebas de 3 días de duración. Nueva Zelanda perdió su primer partido de prueba pero empató los siguientes 3. En la segunda prueba, Stewie Dempster y Jackie Mills pusieron 276 para el primer wicket. Esta sigue siendo la asociación más alta de Nueva Zelanda contra Inglaterra. Nueva Zelanda jugó por primera vez con Sudáfrica en 1931–32 en una serie de tres partidos, pero no pudo asegurar partidos de prueba contra ningún equipo que no fuera Inglaterra antes de que la Segunda Guerra Mundial terminara con todo el cricket de prueba durante 7 años. Una gira de prueba por Australia, prevista para febrero y marzo de 1940, fue cancelada después del estallido de la guerra. ^{[23] [24] [25]}

Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial

Véase también: Historia del cricket en Nueva Zelanda desde 1945-46 hasta 1970

La primera prueba de Nueva Zelanda después de la guerra fue contra Australia en 1945/46. Este juego no se consideró una "Prueba" en ese momento, pero el Consejo Internacional de Cricket le otorgó el estado de Prueba retrospectivamente en marzo de 1948. Los jugadores de Nueva Zelanda que aparecieron en este partido probablemente no apreciaron este movimiento de la ICC como Nueva Zelanda despedido por 42 y 54. La falta de voluntad del Consejo de Críquet de Nueva Zelanda de pagarles a los jugadores australianos una asignación decente para recorrer Nueva Zelanda aseguró que esta fuera la única prueba que Australia jugó contra Nueva Zelanda entre 1929 y 1972.

En 1949, Nueva Zelanda envió uno de sus mejores equipos a Inglaterra. Contenía a Bert Sutcliffe , Martin Donnelly , John R. Reid y Jack Cowie . Sin embargo, los partidos de prueba de 3 días aseguraron que las 4 pruebas fueran sorteadas. Muchos han considerado la gira de 1949 por Inglaterra entre las mejores actuaciones de gira de Nueva Zelanda. Las cuatro pruebas obtuvieron puntajes altos a pesar de ser empates y el 206 de Martin Donnelly en Lord's fue aclamado como una de las mejores entradas jamás vistas allí. ^[26] A pesar de no haber ganado, Nueva Zelanda tampoco perdió una prueba. Antes de esto, solo el legendario equipo australiano de 1948, dirigido por el gran Don Bradman , lo había logrado.

New Zealand played its first matches against the West Indies in 1951–52, and Pakistan and India in 1955/56.

In 1954/55 New Zealand recorded the lowest ever innings total, 26 against England. The following season New Zealand achieved its first Test victory. The first 3 Tests of a 4 Test series were won easily by the West Indies but New Zealand won the fourth to notch up its first Test victory. It had taken them 45 matches and 26 years to attain.

New Zealand won by 190 runs Eden Park, Auckland Umpires: Clyde Harris (NZL) and Terry Pearce (NZL)

• New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat

In the next 20 years New Zealand won only seven more Tests. For most of this period New Zealand lacked a class bowler to lead their attack although they had two excellent batsmen in Bert Sutcliffe and Glenn Turner and a great all-rounder in John R. Reid.

Reid captained New Zealand on a tour to South Africa in 1961–62 where the five test series was drawn 2–2. The victories in the third and fifth tests were the first overseas victories New Zealand achieved. Reid scored 1,915 runs in the tour, setting a record for the most runs scored by a touring batsman of South Africa as a result.^[27]

New Zealand won their first test series in their three match 1969/70 tour of Pakistan 1–0.^[28] This was the first ever series win by New Zealand after almost 40 years and 30 consecutive winless series.^[29]

Scoreboard - Basin ReserveFebruary 1978. NZ's first win over England

In 1973 Richard Hadlee debuted and the rate at which New Zealand won Tests picked up dramatically. Hadlee was one of the best pace bowlers of his generation, playing 86 Tests for New Zealand, before he retired in 1990. Of the 86 Tests that Hadlee played in New Zealand won 22 and lost 28. In 1977/78 New Zealand won its first Test against England, at the 48th attempt. Hadlee took 10 wickets in the match.

During the 1980s New Zealand also had the services of one of its best ever batsman, Martin Crowe and a number of good players such as John Wright, Bruce Edgar, John F. Reid, Andrew Jones, Geoff Howarth, Jeremy Coney, Ian Smith, John Bracewell, Lance Cairns, Stephen Boock, and Ewen Chatfield, who were capable of playing the occasional match winning performance and consistently making a valuable contribution to a Test match.

The best example of New Zealand's two star players (R. Hadlee and M. Crowe) putting in match winning performances and other players making good contributions is New Zealand versus Australia, 1985 at Brisbane. In Australia's first innings Hadlee took 9–52. In New Zealand's only turn at bat, M Crowe scored 188 and John F. Reid 108. Edgar, Wright, Coney, Jeff Crowe, V. Brown, and Hadlee scored between 17 and 54*. In Australia's second innings, Hadlee took 6–71 and Chatfield 3–75. New Zealand won by an innings and 41 runs.

• New Zealand won the toss and elected to field.

One-day cricket also gave New Zealand a chance to compete more regularly than Test cricket with the better sides in world cricket. In one-day cricket a batsman does not need to score centuries to win games for his side and bowlers do not need to bowl the opposition out. One-day games can be won by one batsman getting a 50, a few others getting 30s, bowlers bowling economically and everyone fielding well. These were requirements New Zealand players could consistently meet and thus developed a good one-day record against all sides.

Perhaps New Zealand's most infamous one-day match was the "under arm" match against Australia at the MCG in 1981. Requiring six runs to tie the match off the final ball, Australian captain Greg Chappell instructed his brother Trevor to "bowl" the ball underarm along the wicket to prevent New Zealand batsman Brian McKechnie from hitting a six. The Australian umpires ruled the move as legal even though to this day many believe it was one of the most unsporting decisions made in cricket.

When New Zealand next played in the tri-series in Australia in 1983, Lance Cairns became a cult hero for his one-day batting. In one match against Australia, he hit six sixes at the MCG, one of the world's largest grounds. Few fans remember that New Zealand lost this game by 149 runs. However, Lance's greatest contribution to New Zealand cricket was his son Chris Cairns.

Chris Cairns made his debut one year before Hadlee retired in 1990. Cairns, one of New Zealand's best all-rounders, led the 1990s bowling attack with Danny Morrison. Stephen Fleming, New Zealand's most prolific scorer, led the batting and the team into the 21st century. Nathan Astle and Craig McMillan also scored plenty of runs for New Zealand, but both retired earlier than expected.

Daniel Vettori made his debut as an 18-year-old in 1997, and when he took over from Fleming as captain in 2007 he was regarded as the best spinning all-rounder in world cricket. On 26 August 2009, Daniel Vettori became the eighth player and second left-arm bowler (after Chaminda Vaas) in history to take 300 wickets and score 3000 test runs, joining the illustrious club. Vettori decided to take an indefinite break from international short form cricket in 2011 but continued to represent New Zealand in Test cricket and returned for the 2015 Cricket World Cup.

On 4 April 1996, New Zealand achieved a unique world record, where the whole team was adjudged Man of the Match for team performance against 4 run victory over the West Indies. This is recorded as the only time where whole team achieved such an award.^[30][31][32]

New Zealand started the new millennium by winning the 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy in Kenya to claim their first ICC tournament. They started with a 64-run win over Zimbabwe then proceeded to beat Pakistan by 4 wickets in the semi-final. In the final against India, Chris Cairns scored an unbeaten 102 in New Zealand's run chase helping them win the tournament.

Shane Bond played 17 Tests for NZ between 2001 and 2007 but missed far more through injury. When fit, he added a dimension to the NZ bowling attack that had been missing since Hadlee retired.

The rise of the financial power of the BCCI had an immense effect on NZ cricket and its players. The BCCI managed to convince other boards not to pick players who had joined the rival Twenty-20 Indian Cricket League. NZ Cricket lost the services of Shane Bond, Lou Vincent, Andre Adams, Hamish Marshall and Daryl Tuffey. The money to be made from Twenty-20 cricket in India may have also induced players, such as Craig McMillan and Scott Styris (from Test cricket) to retire earlier than they would have otherwise. After the demise of the Indian Cricket League Bond and Tuffey again played for New Zealand.

Vettori stood down as Test captain in 2011 leading to star batsman Ross Taylor to take his place. Taylor led New Zealand for a year which included a thrilling win in a low scoring Test match against Australia in Hobart, their first win over Australia since 1993. In 2012/13 Brendon McCullum became captain and new players such as Kane Williamson, Corey Anderson, Doug Bracewell, Trent Boult and Jimmy Neesham emerged as world-class performers. McCullum captained New Zealand to series wins against the West Indies and India in 2013/14 and both Pakistan and Sri Lanka in 2014/15 increasing New Zealand's rankings in both Test and ODI formats. In the series against India McCullum scored 302 at Wellington to become New Zealand's first Test triple centurion.

In early 2015 New Zealand made the final of the Cricket World Cup, going through the tournament undefeated until the final, where they lost to Australia by seven wickets.^[33]

In 2015 the New Zealand national cricket team played under the name of Aotearoa for their first match against Zimbabwe to celebrate Māori Language Week.^[34]

In mid-2015 New Zealand toured England,^[35] performing well, drawing the Test series 1–1, and losing the One Day series, 2–3.

From October to November 2015, and in February 2016, New Zealand played Australia in two Test Series, in three and two games a piece

With a changing of an era in the Australian team, New Zealand was rated as a chance of winning especially in New Zealand. New Zealand lost both series by 2-Nil^[36]

New Zealand's kit is manufactured by Canterbury of New Zealand, who replaced previous manufacturer WStar in 2009. When playing Test cricket, New Zealand's cricket whites feature logo of the sponsors Gillette on the left of the shirt, the ANZ logo on the left sleeve and on the middle of the shirt and the Canterbury logo on the right sleeve. New Zealand fielders may wear a black cap (in the style of a baseball cap rather than the baggy cap worn by some teams) or a white sun hat with the New Zealand Cricket logo in the middle. Helmets are also coloured black (although until 1996, they used to be white with the silver fern logo encased in a black circle).

In limited overs cricket, New Zealand's ODI and Twenty20 shirts feature the ANZ logo across the centre, with the silver fern badge on the left of the shirt, Canterbury logo on the right sleeve and the Ford logo on the right. In ODIs, the kit comprises a black shirt with blue accents and black trousers, whilst the Twenty20 kit comprises a beige shirt with black accents and black trousers. In ICC limited-overs tournaments, a modified kit design is used with sponsor's logos moving to the sleeve and 'NEW ZEALAND' printed across the front.

In ODI, New Zealand wore Beige and brown between 1980 World Series Cricket and 1988 World Series Cricket. The 1983–1984 version was made popular by the Black Caps supporter group Beige Brigade, who sells the version of this uniform to the general public together with a "moral contract" which explains the expectations that come with being a Beige Brigadier. and was also worn in the inaugural Twenty20 international between New Zealand and Australia. Between 1991 and 1997 grey or silver (with some splashes of black or white) was worn instead. Until 2000, the ODI uniform was teal with black accents.

Previous suppliers were Adidas (World Series Cricket 1980–1990), ISC (World Cup World Cup 1992 and 1996, World Series 1993–97) Canterbury (1998–1999), Asics (who supplied all the 1999 Cricket World Cup participating teams) and WStar (2000–2009).

Previous sponsors were DB Draught (1990–1994 in the front, 1995–1997 in the sleeve), Bank of New Zealand (1993–94 and 1997–99 in the front), Clear Communications, later TelstraClear (1997–2000 in the front, 2001–2005 in the sleeve), National Bank of New Zealand (2000–2014) and Dheeraj and East Coast (2009–2010),^[41] since 2014 ANZ is the current sponsor, due to National Bank's rebranding as ANZ. Amul became the new sponsor in May 2017 for the ICC CT17.^[42]

Records

Main articles: List of New Zealand Test cricket records, List of New Zealand One Day International cricket records, and List of New Zealand Twenty20 International cricket records

World records

• Richard Hadlee, one of New Zealand and the world's best all-rounders, took the world record for most Test wickets (374) vs India at Bangalore in 1988. Hadlee was the first bowler to reach 400 Test wickets, vs India at Christchurch in 1990, and finished his career with 431 wickets. He subsequently lost the record to Kapil Dev.
• The black caps would be known for their world record of having the most semi final appearances of any country but The Black Caps have yet to claim the trophy.
• Corey Anderson holds record for the second fastest century in One Day Internationals (or any other format of international cricket). Playing against West Indies, he scored his ton in just 36 balls. Corey Anderson lost the record to AB de Villiers when AB scored a century in just 31 balls against West Indies.
• In a One Day International in 1996, the entire New Zealand team were awarded man of the match against the West Indies, the first such occasion.
• Andrew Jones and Martin Crowe held the highest ever 3rd-wicket partnership in Tests, with 467 against Sri Lanka in 1991, which at the time was the highest partnership for any wicket.^[44]
• Brian Hastings and Richard Collinge together scored 151 runs for the 10th-wicket against Pakistan in 1973, the highest 10th-wicket partnership at the time.^[45]
• Nathan Astle scored Test cricket's fastest ever double century versus England, at Christchurch in 2002.^[46] He scored 200 off 153 balls with the second hundred coming off just 39 deliveries. He was eventually out for 222—the dreaded double Nelson. He knocked the first hundred off 114 balls. Astle smashed the record by 59 balls, previously held by Adam Gilchrist Australia vs South Africa Johannesburg 2002.

• Guptill holds the record for most career runs (2,271) and most sixes (103, equal with Chris Gayle) in Twenty20 Internationals, both records previously held by Brendon McCullum.^[50]
• John Bracewell was the first – and so far only – substitute fielder to take four catches in a One Day International, vs Australia in Adelaide on 23 November 1980.^{[citation needed]}
• Daniel Vettori was the first cricketer to take four wickets and score a half-century in each innings of a Test match, a feat he achieved against Bangladesh in October 2008 at Chittagong. His figures were 5/95 and 4/74 with the ball and 55* and 76 with the bat.^[51]
• Colin Munro is the first player in to score three Twenty20 International hundreds. This was accomplished on 3 January 2018 against the West Indies when he scored 104 off 88 balls, with 3 fours and 10 sixes.
• Chris Harris holds the record for the most ODI caught and bowled dismissals, with 29.^[52]
