New Zealand vs England - 5 things to look forward to

New Zealand plays their third game on Friday against England, a match which is crucial for the latter. The big ticket match, following three days involving associate teams has plenty to offer for the cricket lover. While New Zealand go into the match with two wins under their belt, against Sri Lanka and Scotland, England will try to shed away the effects of the demoralizing 111 run loss to arch-rivals Australia, where their batting and bowling came undone at the hands of one of the tournament favorites.New Zealand will be playing in their own backyard, Wellington, in a D/N match. Here are a few things to look forward to, come Friday.

#5 Brendon McCullum vs James Anderson

New Zealand’s blazing opener versus England’s premier and highly skilled fast bowler could give us a contest worth remembering. In many ways, the contest could determine, which way the match will swing. James Anderson, a particularly proud cricketer will be hurting from the hiding received at the hands of Australia.

Brendon McCullum would be naturally aggressive, no matter who the bowler is. That definitely sets up a terrific contest.
