New Zealand cricket has moved away from 'bits and pieces' players: Larsen

"One of the analogies that I use.. we [New Zealand] are a dairy country. If you had to pick up a standard New Zealand full cream milk bottle and give it a shake and leave it, the cream rises to the top. If you said that was your talent base sitting at the top, that's what I am looking at as a selector. When you look at a place like India (we have a massive company called Fonterra at home), Indian cricket would be the Fonterra dairy factory, pick the entire factory up and give it a good shake, the cream that would rise to the top, woah! That's the difference between the talent base we have when compared to other bigger cricket countries."
