NZ really can't lose here. If they win that'd be fantastic, if they lose it'll be what was expected of them.

It's really about player development this series, there are so many young/inexperienced players in the kiwi team it's about building a team for the future.

Interseting talking point is McCullum's promotion to number five. I don't know if it's a good move whether he's going to be capable of playing to the conditions or not waits to be seen. I'd have preferred Vettori at 5 if they were going to promote anyone.
