Insight for Sunday 3 March 2013

Is New Zealand Cricket in crisis or is it suffering just another dip on the performance roller coaster?

Radio New Zealand Sports Reporter, Stephen Hewson,  considers if there is a way back for a side which has slumped so far down the test world rankings that the tour's being labelled a waste of time in some quarters?
