We had a pretty good chance of winning and, on an individual level, I thought Shakib Al Hasan bowled and batted wonderfully well, Mushfiqur Rahim made runs in both innings and Tamim Iqbal got starts in both innings ... The difference between the two sides was Daniel Vettori who was brilliant with the bat and ball. Also they [New Zealand] planned their second innings really well and did not repeat the mistakes they did in the first innings.
Brendon played at Kolkata when Matthew was the assistant coach there. It was for three or four games, so it was a very short experience. It's also true that we do work very closely with our senior players - Daniel Vettori, Jacob Oram and Brendon - and they are fully engaged through this.
If we are in for a 'denouement' today, shouldn't they be playing to the rules of French Cricket and wearing berets and stripey t-shirts? I, for one, would like the chance to try to hit Daniel Vettori on the leg with the ball!
I understand that coming from Daniel Vettori but I think the umpires did a commendable job.
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers which campaigns against beardism, has said that England spin bowler Monty Panesar has beaten Kiwi captain Daniel Vettori for the coveted accolade of Beard of the Series between England and New Zealand which is likely to end in a definitive English victory at Trent Bridge today.
We shared a great bond among us. For me, it was an honour leading greats like Glenn McGrath, Daniel Vettori and Shoaib Malik
I was getting very excited about the turn and that helped me to get into my rhythm. It was good to see how Daniel Vettori bowled and got wickets. That gave me confidence and I knew if I bowled well the wickets would come.
