Wellington, Mar 3: New Zealand vice-captain Brendon McCullum, who is struggling with his fluency, is expected to reproduce his Twenty20 form in the one-day international format.
Better known as a dasher when facing the shiny white ball, McCullum’s problems in finding momentum in the early overs of the two Twenty20 matches were instrumental in New Zealand winning by seven and five wickets respectively.
New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori was delighted in his ability to plug away when apparently bogged down.

Dnyanganga, who took a 139-run first-innings lead, bundled out their opponents for a paltry 29 in their second outing, with Pailwan being the wrecker-in-chief.
He was supported by Trushar Sutar who scalped two wickets giving away 15 runs.

Giant-killer Sanjay Dixit said his victory over Lalit Modi in the Rajasthan Cricket Association election was a result of a 'negative' vote. "Beating Modi was easy in the sense that he was autocratic in his functioning," the new RCA president said. "He was a law unto himself. He was trying to act like God. He would do everything with unscrupulous means and with money power. He was running a mighty empire, which was full of money, power, pelf and horse trading. He had a very aggressive legal strategy."
