[QUOTE="NZL Fan, post: 72"] If you can't get 20 wickets, you can't win a test............ Bond not playing is a huge blow. New Zealands major problem is it's bowling as the middle order problem is much easier to fix I believe. Papps showed good pre test form so should come in for Macca, with Fleming slipping down the order one place to help strengthen the batting. The bowling is more of a concern as we don't have a ready made solution. Butler we probably be shipped in but has had no recent play. Cairns is far too expensive, Vettori lacks confidence, Martin is struggling for form, and Tuffey - though containing - is not picking up wickets like a strike bowler should. I think the only real thing NZl can hope for is a drawn series - and even then i think they have more chance of winning the final test rather then the next one. [/QUOTE]
