Why wouldnt they? We like New Zealanders, they always perform well again us, especially Vettori and Bond.

Some good later order hitting by White and Symonds to really get this total going, one of White's strikes went out of the ground, it was off of Bond too, i almost spat tea over myself. Kiwi's will need Astel to fire at the top and good partnerships down the order to give this a good chase, their batting doesn't look as strong without Styris or Oram, but knowing the Kiwi's they'll either chase this down dramatically or fail dramatically. No in between with them. It'll be interesting to see if they target our inexperienced bowlers, Johnson & Hilfenhaus. Clark too hasn't been very impressive in the shorter form of the game, so we're vulnerable in that area. Can't for the life of me understand why Shaun Tait hasn't gotten a game yet.


Where's Chris Harris btw? That guy is a legend.
