Taylor didn't look much like a potential captain either.

Like he left his brain in the dressing room.

It makes me laugh when they said that Taylor was a "good runner between wickets". I seem to recall a bloke who's been running his teammates out since he nailed Fleming in his first test. In fact, didn't he run Fleming out twice in his first three tests?

He nearly fooled McCullum.

Depends if we bat first! :asian:

Seriously though, that pitch is as good as you'll get for batting in NZ, plus with the short square boundaries/fast outfield if whoever bats first decides to get a move on then I would think 350 would not be too inconceivable.
Let's hope McCullum is on form again today and I'd also like to see Taylor get some runs again. Oram really needs to step up, as he was very much underwhelming in the T20's.

Should be a cracker of a game! I can't wait! :rnr:

With our bowling line up of Bond (the bowling god) and 5 medium pacers I wouldn't be surprised with 340+.

40 overs of similar deliveries can't be good.  Every team needs a decent spinner in every form of the game

WHAT A MATCH!

I thought we were gone for all money. Of course you realise that Styris will be dropped for the next match?

I don't know why they weren't playing Styris in the first place tbh. Broom? Franklin? psh

If Southee is suddenly our specialist death bowler from two good overs in a T20, Styris should easily be in for the rest of the series.

QFT.

He bowled alright (as you should expect from a bowler) but I have no idea what they're thinking putting him in at 5, talk about a brain melt! It looked like his pedestrian run rate was going to cost us the match at one stage.

What a cruel mistress the NZ Cricket team is.

Just when I got my head around the fact they are shit, they make me believe in them again. I even was starting to think we might be competitive throughout the series.

I'm with the cat, get rid of Franklin ( average 19 over 75 matches) and keep in Styris and let him bat at 5.

What a game :rnr::rnr:

His injury was actually a huge gain for the black caps

Franklin, Southee, Oram and Ingram are running out of days as Blackcaps.

When Ryder, Mills, McKay and Vettori are all back the Blackcaps will be a force.

McKay needs to work on line n length.You need to be spot on against Haddin,Wato,White and the likes especially at his pace.He's a promising prospect though

Vettori's one weird batsman.

Good game though, I never thought they'd get close, and neither did Ponting.

We continue to surprise them,which surprises me.
Further more its surprising that the aussies seemed to be surprised that we surprise them on a surprising amount of occasions.

No surprises there.
