Happy to see the two spinners play now that the series is wrapped-up. Plenty of opportunities with the bat for guys like Latham at 5.

Loving these dropkicks over the midwicket fence. Savouring this with a long and challenging year of cricket coming up for NZ.

5th consecutive ODI fifty for Guptill, unbelievable form he's in.

Damn, Nicol out...

Now Guptil's gone. Super piece of sneaky keeping from Taibu.

Should go in the book as a run-out.

Now McCullum and Oram at the crease.

Vitorri should give him an absolute thrashing for dropping that, unbelievable.

Thankfully Dan Vettori is not playing in this match

Imagine how hard it would be for the commentators to describe the action

[strike]Black Vitori bowls to White Vettori[/strike]

McCullum brings up his 100 with the bat.


.......and now Vitori brings up his with the ball.

Can you believe it, he gets a wicket.

9 overs, no maidens, 1-105.

can you believe he could bowl 3 full tosses in a row going for 6;s and then his first ball of his next over also a full toss going the distance,unbelievable.

To be honest I feel its good for Zimbabwe to start off back in the fold against us and would be happy to see them come here the next couple of summers, it can only be good in the long run. Ireland should really be given test status to "even out" the playing field too. Though I have a feeling they'd give Zim a run for their money.....

I think Ireland are better than Zimbabwe.
So how do you gauge it?

Australia, South Africa and England have been rolled for under 100 in Tests in the last 3 months.

Those 3 are the supposed best.

Sri Lanka got rolled for 40 odd in an ODI in South Africa.

Yet for Associate teams, it is a closed shop.
