One day Match - Adelaide

Another match in the dire history of England, another loss, another rout. Flintoff the hero has turned to Flintoff the cursed. New Zealand set a low total to chase but England couldn't even step up to this bar and lost by 90 runs. The second highest score by an England player was 10. It would shame them too much to say who scored what. This gives New Zealand a bonus point and moves them above England in the triangular series.

Daniel Vettori had another good day for New Zealand, with 4 wickets but only giving away 24 runs. I remember when he first came over to the UK and thinking how good he was going to be. He has lived up to his promise and is a great stabilising influence for the blackcaps. Still relatively young he is none-the-less a senior for the team and they should all look up to him.
