Difficult to see NZ making much of a series against England even in their own back yard on current form.

New Zealand will be strengthened by Taylor,Vettori & Ryder.

The 2nd new ball did for the Kiwis after Kallis broke the 5th wicket partnership which added 98 between Watling 63 & Brownie 53.Steyn & Morkel took the last 5 wickets for 8 runs.south Africa won by an innings & 193 runs.

biggest problem is the 1st innings scores 7 general batting collapses,still hard to see them taking 20 wickets as aside from an aging Vettori they lack class bowlers.

Yes ageing not really a problem for a spinner though and although pleasing on the eye I can not see Adele Taylor and Lexie Rider getting many runs between them (hehe).

India 285-6 2nd ODI.at one stage they were 11,9-4,Raina made a half century & Dhoni 72 added 96 with jadeja 61 not out.

3rd ODI Australia 74 all out. Sri Lanka 4-1 after 1 over.

Sri Lanka made quite hard work of knocking the runs off,but manged a 4 wicket win.

England shoot out for 155 in under the full 50 overs. Root top score 39.
