Really disappointing to see us fold like this. Won't do any of the batsmen a lick of good in preparation of the WI series.

Cribbage on song with his prediction re: NZ not making it past 300 it seems. Barring a huge partnership between these 2 that is.

Looks like this will peter out to a very comfortable win for Australia.

Still I think our bowlers can be a bit proud. They bowled really, really well in Brisbane and took 20 wickets. They didn't disgrace themselves here IMO as it was a batting paradise.

The batting however obviously still needs work. Taylor shows why he's probably the best batsman NZ have on offer at the moment, but even so he needs to work on his temperament big time if he ever wants to cross into 3 figure land quite a few times.

Everyone else seemed to play about 1 good knock out of 4 innings. Hope some intensive net work occurs before the first WI test. Guys like How, Flynn and Ryder all promise a lot but are yet to deliver in a big way. How seems to have gone a bit backwards after a bit of a break out series against England. The much criticised Redmond scored more in one innings than How has in four, and he's probably still kicking himself for throwing away what should've been his maiden hundred on the flattest wicket around.

Also on song with my prediction of McCullum to not score twice as many runs as Haddin in the series. :p

Forgot to mention that when watching Haddin bat yesterday morning, he strongly reminded me of Damien Martyn; the look of his face under the helmet and his simple & stylish off side shots. Does anyone agree with me? :)
