Australian and New Zealand cricketers prepare for ODI series.

New Zealand will be hoping to turn around their fortunes as their record against the Australians can be called dismal at best.

Glenn Maxwell and James Faulkner were the two members of Australia’s 13-man squad left out in Sydney, and the selectors may wish to retain the winning XI in an attempt to secure the series. To misquote the fine New Zealand band Split Enz, they saw red, they saw red, they saw red.
