“Turned out better than I thought”

"After the win in the semi final, it's all about how we are going to win the final," said Kiwi skipper Daniel Vettori.

"Grant (Elliott) batted superbly in the semi-final even though he had an injection in his thumb and couldn't feel it," said Vettori.

"With him (Bond) in the side, I always have someone to talk to and I always have someone I can rely on," said Vettori.

"I believe that my team will follow me if I perform well," he said.

"It's a very good wicket and I'm think we will be able to adapt quickly no matter how it plays, but if the wicket is a bit tricky, I think Australia will have the advantage." Vettori also said the Black Caps were wary of the Australian top order who he called "outstanding."

"South Africans have a love-hate relationship with Australia," said Vettori. "We felt as though we were playing in Pakistan during the semi-final but this time I think this time they will be behind us."
