What New Zealand need to do to win

Survive the new ball.

It doesn’t matter if How and Redmund are 12 not out at lunch, New Zealand’s strength is later down the order, but if McCullum, Taylor and Vettori are in too early Australia will win.

Attack with the fields.

Hayden, Clarke and Roy always get more defensive fields than they should.

All of them are nickers, and 3 slips are a minimum.

Learn from MS.

Dhoni is an instinctive captain.

Vettori seems more of a planner.

Dhoni strangled Hussey and Katich, they are Australia’s too slowest scorers, do that, and you will not only effect them, but you will annoy the others.

Swing the ball

Reverse, normal, whatever.

Australia’s only real weakness when batting is swing bowling, they can handle everything else, but that is their kryptonite.

This, and a bit of luck could be enough to snatch a win.

What they shouldn't do.

Make Australia angry.

I would suggest less sledging than any New Zealander has ever done before.

Australia really need to win this 2 zip, don't give them extra ammo.


For those of you not in the Trev Barry Fantasy league over at Cric Info, it's not too late.
