India must have the worst bowling attack in the world, including Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

I reckon India were only fishing in the tri-series and trial

Their many inspiring group huddles and the tactical genius of their skipper will come to the fore in the world cup proper

Have to say I think Nathan McCullum should take Anderson's spot for the WC opener.

Anderson is showing nothing with the bat and goes for 6 and a half with the ball - major weak point in our side ATM. McCullum lenghtens the tail - but not by much with the form Anderson is in.

1. Guptill
2. McCullum
3. Williamson
4. Taylor
5. Elliott
6. Ronchi
7. McCullum
8. Vettori
9. Southee
10. Mills
11. Boult

Just got back home from SA v Sri Lanka in Christchurch. The pitch is very quick I must say. We'd be mad to leave out Adam Milne for the first game.

New Zealand 157/7 (30.1 ov)

Boy did Zimbabwe give us a rough time, 100 of that 157 was Guptill alone!

Kiwis are headcases,they'll lose 7 games in a row to Bangladesh and play like Wazn against Zimbabwe but than out of nowhere will beat teams like South Africa and Australia,nutjobs.

Pretty much. Outside of the All Blacks most NZ teams go in as underdogs more often than not and that's how they feel comfortable. If they go in thinking they should win then they get too cocky too quickly.

NZ vs RSA

NZ batted first...

NZ finished 331/8 from there 50 overs. 50's from McCullum & Williamson. Everyone else pretty much got a start but never carried it on... RSA rested Steyn.

It's currently the change of innings.

Yeah, not sure what to make of the trials, but great that Boult is doing the business
