anderson got the wicket LOL! 232 all out.Think Oram just wanted his 50.

 

[mrkikiet]

Seems like Oram wants to put us in again though. Nice 6!

i'd hope he did.

nice win.

Clinical finish there from the England bowlers.

I Have to agree, NZ were shit, they kept getting opportunities though both series and kept letting England off the hook.

Strauss's comeback is rewarded with man of the series award for England, Jimmeh is man of the match. Vettori man of the series for NZ.

Vettori as quite a task at hand to mould a young team .they may have lost the series but also picked up some valuable experience .good luck to the kiwi's in the one days

Composite side:

Strauss
How
Vaughan
Pietersen
Taylor
Oram
McCullum
Vettori\Panesar - not really sure, both were okay, Vettori for his batting perhaps

Sidebottom
O'Brien
Anderson

Quite even then, and an indicator that there wasn't that much between the sides, which is worrying ahead of the tougher SA series.

Flintoff back would be good, for Broad I suppose who has batted well but been meh with the ball and I'd go for Shah ahead of Bell or Colly.

If there was a Test next week those two would be worried about selection I think, as it is they may find form in the ODI's.
