Maybe 20 more runs and a better bowling effort to defend it. Without Taylor I don't see us scoring 300.
Should have kept NMac bowling at the end instead of Nicol based on the bowling figures.

I don't think there is as pronounced a difference as there once was, but I still hate it when we bat first in any ODI.

Not sure about this. Here's some footage that backs up Thierry Henry's comment from a while back though, Nethula can bat. Perhaps has more international potential with the bat too than his domestic stats suggest. A few boundaries off Boult, Vettori, Gillespie, Woodcock -

Damn. Back from Wellington.
I didn't mind McCullum choosing to bat first, what really killed NZ was getting starts and not going on on a wicket that proved tricky early on. McCullum out for 56, Williamson out for 55. de Villiers 100+. du Plessis 60 odd. That was the key to the match. We saw how easy batting got for those two. McCullum's wicket was expecially key, such a lazy shot. That was the difference between a defendable target, and a middle of the road 254.

But I thought I heard Bazza Richards say maybe at least once that he should have been out long before that!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange.
A LBW given that was way too high, and a caught behind that never touched the bat. Jeez, McCullum really got one over on the South Africans there.
Poor form.
Those two overturns showed exactly why DRS is necessary.

Should've rolled up to the commentary box and told him to shut the **** up.
