Dan Vettori - deadset legend. Thanks for the memories.
Re Sunday - sad that we didn't really show up but in the end Australia are a bit better than us across the park at the moment. Frustrating that we pulled ourselves back into the game at 150/3 but credit to the Aussies, they were tremendous in the field. Looked like we got caught in a bit of a muddle in the field about how much to attack.
Oh well, great campaign. Special team and special memories.
Now for England in May, not sure that JV is right in saying it's a definer of where this team is at. A two test series on pitches that could be nasty nasty green tops seem to me to be a pretty good leveler, especially for a team coming in cold. In saying that, we should be confident and it would be a disappointing result to come away with a series loss.
What are your thoughts on the bowling attack? Do they stick with Bracewell or Wagner as the first change seamer or do they have a look at Henry? Is Milne's body up to test cricket? Craig keeps the spinners spot. I guess the other question is the second opener, do they give Rudds another chance or does McCullum open and Guptill or Brownlie bat 5? I saw some suggestion that they might look at Waitling to open with Ronchi coming into 7 and keeping. Not sure where I sit on that. Maybe for the Australian series at the end of the year, but England in May... maybe not.
