With all the concern about the form of the Australian team leading up to the World Cup, someone better keep an eye on the Kiwis too. Despite the match being 'only' a warm-up, they went down the the lowly ranked Bangladesh with a shabby batting display by the top order and not enough fire power with the ball to knock over the 'Deshi's .
Another problem for the Kiwis is with their fiery fast bowler Mark Gillespie. Apparently he has some nerve problems in his shoulder after his arm 'went to sleep' on the flight over. They could have used him yesterday as the tame James Franklin got tonked by #9 - Mashrafe Mortaza for a couple of big sixes.
Look out NZ, as Kenya or even Canada could spring a similar surprise when the real games start.
