just to clarify: the side never actually complained about going to Zim, but most other people in NZ did. Especially polititians (but then we have an election in a month or so and it's not rugby so they knew that the greater public wouldnt' care)

anyway - to the cricket. not a bad days play after what was a pretty bad start apparently. good to see mccullum and vettori get some runs - i think they're both more talented than they often get credited for. another top order failure is a bit disturbing.

NZ are still searching for an opening partnership, maybe vincent should bat down the order and flem open?
