Six reasons why New Zealand can't lose the five-match one-day series against England.
1) New Zealand have been honing one-day techniques in the test series. Or that is how it has been portrayed. It will be an almost seamless transition.
2) Brendon McCullum v Eoin Morgan is a no-contest in
the captaincy stakes. McCullum has the game on a string. Morgan is under pressure, out of form with the bat and considered lucky to survive after a World Cup disaster.
3) England are rebuilding - which gets the excuse in first. Even Ian Bell's reliable bat has got the heave-ho in the search for more top order urgency. Moeen Ali is rested, as if they can afford that.
4) Do coaches matter? If they do, then England face further disruption, with the just-appointed Trevor Bayliss not sure if he will arrive for some of the one day series. If he does, new bonds will have to be instantly formed under pressure.
