Fudgeing federations.

Might need to go into an NZF thread but I think the federations need to be gone and let a centralised body administer everything much like what they done at NZ Cricket so that rather than federations with competing interests everyone works for the best of the game. Sure NZF have stuffed up many times but atleast everyone knows where the smoke is coming from. You can still keep the teams but free up the politics and administrators to just one federation to be in control, our country and game is far too small and thinly resourced to be wasting resources and time like this.

 Ever since, New Zealand have no challenger as, pound-for-pound, the most impressive international cricket team in the world. They are unique in reaching the last four of the previous four World Cups, even while maintaining a strong Test side.

To understand why, the simplest explanation is “Cricket in New Zealand is really well run”, says Heath Mills, chief executive of the New Zealand Cricket Players Association. From 1995, a new governance structure was created – effectively, the existing provincial directors, who represented the six provinces, voted themselves out of existence, replaced by appointments on merit. The nub is that the board is independent.

It is a salient contrast with, say, the West Indies, in which there is still no independent board structure. Having independent governance means that administrators are not divided between regional and national loyalties. “The independent governance has been critical to us,” Mills reflects. “I’ve seen other instances where the decision-making of the national body is compromised because of political pressures.”
