GROS ISLET – New Zealand coach John Bracewell has promised his side will treat their match against Kenya with the same importance as they did their opening World Cup win over England.
Black Caps captain Stephen Fleming spoke after the team’s six-wicket success of now having a “game in hand” leading into the second stage, Super Eight phase for which New Zealand and England are favourites to qualify from a Group C also featuring Canada. But Bracewell said that Kenya’s seven-wicket win over Canada last week meant New Zealand couldn’t let up when they played the surprise semi-finalists of four years ago today.While England coach Duncan Fletcher has talked of his side needing four wins to get to the semi-finals in the Caribbean, Bracewell said he was not yet prepared to look that far ahead.Nampa-AFPBut Bracewell said that Kenya’s seven-wicket win over Canada last week meant New Zealand couldn’t let up when they played the surprise semi-finalists of four years ago today.While England coach Duncan Fletcher has talked of his side needing four wins to get to the semi-finals in the Caribbean, Bracewell said he was not yet prepared to look that far ahead.Nampa-AFP
