Whatever it takes!!!
Great stuff from NZ... Still unsure if KW is the best man for the captaincy but I guess they do not really have any options. I just hope his batting does not get affected. What a class bat he is.

Yeah, his captaincy at the end just felt like "stick to the bowling plan, no matter what".

When India were nine down in the 43rd over, you've got to bring your two strike bowlers on and back them to take that last wicket. He let India stay in the game by allowing the last pair to hit the spinners around for three overs until the seamers came back.

India have a very good batting line up on paper but almost everytime now the only one who really deliver is Kohli and the rest just find ways to get out.

Good win, despite predictable lack of batting icing. 260 was probably about par on that wicket in the end with some balls keeping low, so the Guptill/Latham/Williamson start was the winning of the match for us. Looks like the bowling and fielding was fairly good too.

Devshit batted 7 and bowled 4 overs. I'm ****ed if I know what his role is. He's like the guy you pull into the team on a Saturday morning when one of your players doesn't turn up. Can't bat, can't bowl, just there to make up the numbers.

I think it's fair to say that both of these sides are badly flawed and hugely reliant on 1 or 2 key players. Taylor's drop in the 3rd ODI now looking highly likely to be the defining moment in the series.

****ed if I know either. Absolute passenger on this tour. Manu would be there if he wasn't injured.

Southee was great. Too early to say he's turned it around again after being dropped and got that fire lit under his backside?
