Hopefully Collingwood will pay closer attention to how many overs his bowlers have bowled.

New Zealand have won the series 3-1 after winning the final ODI by 34 runs via the Duckworth/Lewis method.
England could only manage 242-7 from their 50 overs, with Luke Wright top scoring with 47. Mascarenhas hit an unbeaten 29 from 12 balls.
New Zealand started their reply well and were well ahead of the run chase but some quick wickets, including 2 in 2 balls from Ryan Sidebottom gave England hope. But with New Zealand on 213-6, the rain arrived and they won the game via the D/L method.

If we could find some consistency we would be a very good one day team and again why no spinner

A blow for New Zealand as Jesse Ryder has been ruled out of the test series after cutting his hand when smashing a window in a bar in order to gain access to the toilet!

The 1st test is underway with England maybe shading the first day.
New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat and reached 282-6 at the close.
Jamie How made 92 and Brendon McCullum was on 51 when he was caught behind in the penultimate over.
Sidebottom took 2 wickets for England, with Hoggard, Harmison, Panesar and Collingwood getting a wicket each.
There were no surprises in the England line-up with Andrew Strauss preferred to Owais Shah and Tim Ambrose making his debut as wicket-keeper.

We've fallen along way in the last year or so if we are struggling against weak teams like New Zealand now!

I think this test is trudging along towards a draw. It's nearly always boring when we play New Zealand, with the exception of Nathan Astle's 222 a few years ago!

I think that was probably Harmison's last ever match for England. He's had a great career but his current performance and mental attitude is a disgrace!
