If McCullum had taken the catch it would have put the pressure right back on Australia and then Patel could have bowled to a new batsman. Right now the game is slipping away from NZ. They really needed a bit more luck in those first 10-12 overs when they were bowling so well and could have easily had 4 wickets.

McCullum dropped the cup when he let Franklin bowl.
