Yeah winning with 2.1 Overs to spare

Bailey looks like he was playing the anchor and Justin Langer must've looked good striking at over 100

As for him playing ODIs they'll first need to talk him into coming out of retirement (even though he's still playing County Cricket in England) and keep in mind that when the next World Cup rolls around he'll be pushing 41.

Little to no concern. New Zealand always fail to front against the PM's XI. I doubt we've ever won that match.

Ummm I was actually joking in reference to putting him in the ODI side to put sh*t on Dussey and White

Our batting strategy was quite bizzare. We batted way too cautiously, and only ended up 5 down. Obviously McCullum wanted some extended time out in the middle...

Special mention to 18-year-old Jason Behrendorff who, despite not taking any wickets, was easily the most economical of all the bowlers, finishing with figures of 0/21 from 8 overs. He's a good talent this kid.

He didn't have much strike as well. After 39 overs, he'd only faced 94 balls.

According to Rudd on the ABC this morning the PM's XI had never beaten NZ in this game. This was either the 4th or 5th meeting.

A complete and utter nonsense. New Zealand's been whipped good by them many times.

Also amusing that they deck out the PM's XI in coloured gear but they still had to wear white pads.
