Hesson didn't select on the expectation this pitch would have more bounce, itbt -

Mike Hesson, the New Zealand coach, has pointed out that making use of footmarks on tracks was something the pair were still adapting their technique to, and on a track that's likely to be the lowest and slowest of all the surfaces in the series, the visitors will be banking on Vettori's experience and knowledge.

Hesson added: "It was a natural reaction by a group of people whose minds were elsewhere. We didn't put anyone under the lid [at short leg] and didn't bowl a bouncer all day. It was about showing some respect."

Wow that was poor from Craig on the replay, I'd be a bit cynical about that if I was Sodhi.

Yes, because McCullum secretly likes guys who lack commitment and ability in the field, and Hesson's secretly known for never looking beyond the basic cricketing stats.
