So after England’s victories in the Twenty20 we swich to the longer form of the game (gosh, I never thought I’d be refering to 50 overs ODI as “longer” matches!)

Despite the two England victories, I think Newzealand can edge it on thier home ground.

England’s form has been dismal in this format of the game, and I don’t see why it should improve in this series, against a New Zealnd side that is renouned for thier fielding. In Daniel Vettori the New Zealanders have a world calss spinner, who can also be frugal with the runs when the need arises.

Expect a NewZealnd victory.
