New Zealand v Zimbabwe - 3rd ODI - Kiwi Players to watch out for
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 cricket team is all set to play against a struggling Zimbabwean side in the final One Day International of the three-match series, with an aim of inflicting a 3-0 series whitewash on the hosts. The final ODI of the series will be played at the
Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo on Tuesday,  October 25, 2011.
After winning the two-match T20 series by 2-0, the tourists are leading the One-Day series 2-0, and the hosts would be desperate to avoid a second successive clean sweep of the season.
The Kiwis have rode on startling performances from their top three batsmen, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915
in the middle-order to dismantle the opposition attack.
Brendon McCullum
Brendon McCallum, who describes himself as “Brash”,  is a world class wicketkeeper with immense batting talent. The 30-year-old right-handed batsman is really capable of going through any bowling attack.
His tally of 4163 One Day Internationals runs amassed at a strike rate of 88.89 and an average approaching 30 is evident of the havoc he can cause to the opposition attack.
The wicketkeeper batsman also poses a great threat to the opening bowlers of the world and has the ability to take the game away from the opposition single handedly in the first half of kiwis’ innings.
While chasing a competitive total of 260, McCullum scored a belligerent 87 in the second ODI of the ongoing series and shared a match winning 157-run stand with Martin Guptill for the second wicket, as New Zealand won the match by four wickets.
Ross Taylor
The New Zealand captain, Ross Taylor is the backbone of Kiwi batting line up. He is an attacking batsman by nature, always willing to take on the best bowlers in the world. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 is the best batsman in the visitors’ camp and carries the hopes of New
Zealand’s batting.
Taylor is an on-side player who can hit the ball to the leg side at will. The slog sweep against slow bowlers serves as a treat for the cricket fans. Taylor’s wicket remains priceless for the opponents as he can easily take the game away on his own. The
World Cup Pool match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 earlier this year being a spectacular example of Taylor’s match winning prowess.
Zimbabwe would have to be watchful of Taylor as his stay at the crease in the middle overs can be hurting for any opposition, let aside http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045.
In the meanwhile http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JDP-Oram-c1681 will be leading New Zealand’s bowling attack.
