Andrew Alderson looks at areas New Zealand can work on ahead of the second ODI against England.

Those hunkered on their couches more than 18,000km from Edgbaston were feeling a little wistful for the just-retired maestro.

Live updates of the 1st ODI between the Black Caps and England at Birmingham.

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum has revealed how the Kiwis used a media storm to put the squeeze on England during the World Cup.

After the events of the drawn two-test series with England, will we see much change from New Zealand in the One Dayers?

New Zealand Cricket are reportedly in negotiations to drop one home test against Australia this summer in favour of three Chappell-Hadlee one-day internationals.

New Zealand’s 199-run second test win to level the series with England produced theatre which has enhanced the country’s status on the international stage.

British media optimism about the state of the English cricket team has crashed after New Zealand's impressive win at Headingley.

Andrew Alderson lists three key moments from the final day of the Black Caps' win over England at Headingley.

It is New Zealand's first away win against England in 16 years, second at Headingley, fifth away in 54 attempts and ninth overall in 101 tests between the countries.

Cricket's TV front man Mark Nicholas, a former first class cricketer, said in an effusive piece: "No team in the world plays with such a sense of possibility and joy."

A new ball less than nine overs old, bowling to New Zealand's number nine and England put five men on the boundary with no slips.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has given the Black Caps high praise, saying the side's approach to test cricket could revolutionise the game.

The second test lies in the balance at Headingley as England trail the Black Caps by 97 runs at stumps on day two.

Luke Ronchi has made an impact for New Zealand in coloured clothing and he transferred that to the test arena on debut against England yesterday.

Mark Craig could have significant responsibility at Headingley on a pitch that is dry on top and could break up on days four and five.

I am sick of this "that's the way we play" propaganda every time our lads get rolled badly, writes Mark Richardson.

Black Caps’ failure to deliver in second innings of tests must be addressed before Headingley, Andrew Alderson writes.

A leading English cricket writer believes Brendon McCullum's attacking policies are going too far.

Unless things alter dramatically in Leeds, the Black Caps will be lucky to be invited back to England before the next arrival of Halley's Comet, writes Dylan Cleaver.

Quit the happy-clappy bizzo and get down to test warfare, Chris Rattue urges the Black Caps following their humbling defeat at Lord's.

Six questions around the Black Caps as they try to level the two test series against England.

They are unbeaten in their last six test series, they took 20 wickets at Lord's, they scored 743 runs, yet a win or a draw was beyond New Zealand's grasp.
