It's all been a downward slide since the WC Final =\

If these guys want to be considered one of the better sides in world cricket, you can't afford to drop games let alone series against minnows.

Chibhabha is doing fine. Holding one end up knowing the target. Also run rate is not bad as Masakadza keeping the wheels turning. Chibhabha can afford this.

i was about to say we're not very good at bowling in conditionss where it's slooow and not bouncing but then we did well in the UAE last year and that's the 7th circle of hell for pace bowling touring sides.

henry was a god iirc. bowl like that ffs

Reckon that if we lose this match and the series it was the bowling that was the culprit. The bowling in the first ODI was about the worst I've ever seen from a Black Caps unit, and today isn't much better.

He's had a good day so far. Could get worse. Sure. But he is way ahead of par right now.

A bowling average of over 46 in 82 ODIs before today.Show me another country that have kept a bowler with that kind of record on for so long.

Very depressing =\

you know how nz teams always look better at the time and then you look at a 2010 team sheet in 2015 in amazement?

that bowling card is going to look a bit below expectation in two years imo with mitch bowling how he is, wheeler and sodhi being international babies and neesh, elliott, nccullum etc being support bowlers.

Suggesting a team score more runs when they lose an ODI is an idiotic post in your view? Have you thought this through?

Sure NZ should have scored more, but you can't defend that weak bowling effort. Even with 300, the bowlers should have defended it.

No chance in SA, Taylor is out for that series. Who hasn't beaten Pakistan in the UAE lately? Their record there is terrible, they're a much stronger side now and would probably beat us now.
