You are right Mail. I somehow included New Zealand's win in the last Test match of their 2-match series when looking over their ODI results. So that makes New Zealand 6-2 in their last 9 ODIs and 9-4 in their last 14 matches. Their last ODI series loss came against South Africa in October. It's not really going out on a limb but I have a hard time seeing anyone other than Australia, South Africa or New Zealand winning the World Cup.
Wow the Black Caps blew away Pakistan here. Being a NZder I'm a little worried we are peaking a bit too soon haha . It was good to see Ross Taylor getting a few boundaries, he has just got back into form I feel and his strike rate has been slow for him. Dark Horse for World Cup I hope, although Australia and South Africa look almost unbeatable at the moment.
