Played on 12th Feb 2008 at Hamilton.

NZ won by 10 Wickets.

England raced away batting first to a quick 40 odd when MArtin struck with Mustards wicket and the next ball with Bells to make it 42/2. Enter Peiterson and he took control of the game along with cook (53). Rain stopped play at 85/2 and the game reduced to 36 overs. After that New Zealand came in, Mason struck and England collapsed into oblivion to be bowled out for 153.

@electroken I have to add that if you watch baseball you might find that a bit boring too until you know the game better and understand the intricacies of it. If cricket were played in the usa, I would definitely be a fan. I tried to bat and pitch a bit myself and it is a lot harder than it looks. Esp pitching. The ball is light compared to a baseball and I am no good at overhand you have to use. I am 70 yrs old now so not so easy to learn new tricks.......lol

I am from USA (Minnesota) and went to NZ and Aus for 3 months Dec07 to Feb08 and got to watch this game with my NZ friend - my first to see and was trying to learn the scoring and how the game was played etc. What a great game to see for my first one, dont you think? I am aware enough to know that no matter if it is one of these one day games or the 5 day ones, England would be hard to beat normally so I was happy for my NZ friend. As for me, I would find it a bit boring to watch one for 5 days

Yep, McCullum is a fanstastic hitter of the ball, bettered only by his keeping. He should be an Aussie
