Time for Kiwis to hit reset button

THE day is finally here.

After back-to-back hammerings at the T20 World Cup, the latest being a 13-run defeat against West Indies on Wednesday, New Zealand are all but out of the global event.

From the outset, it would seem like two bad days cost New Zealand their chances and yet another opportunity to make it to a semifinal of an ICC event.

But there's more to it. This WC and the results is a reflection, and perhaps, the end of a dominant decade New Zealand have had across formats. To put things into context, since the 2015 ODI WC, New Zealand men have played six semifinals and three finals in white-ball WCs and went on to win the inaugural World Test Championship.
