Kenya v New Zealand

Chepauk, Chennai

Jimmy Kamande has had a varied career,and best player in the team
starting as a seamer, reinventing himself as an offspinner
after being reported for having a suspect action, and now
emerging as something of an allrounder,albeit one not really
good enough to warrant a place on either discipline alone.
Recently appointed captain, his biggest challenge will be
bringing together a disparate and disillusioned side.
Daniel Vettori captain and best player in the team, Vettori
is comfortably the most important man in New Zealand's World
Cup campaign. Opposition batsmen are often content to see
him off and attack the fast bowlers, but New Zealand are
at their best when Vettori is also outsmarting batsmen and
taking wickets. On the subcontinental pitches, he must use
his own bowling as an attacking option. He is also one of
the more reliable batsmen in New Zealand's order, although
his impact in ODIs has not been as great as in Tests.
He is the only man in the squad to have been to three
previous World Cups, although he did not play a game in 1999.
