Styris guides NZ home.
Scott Styris put his hand up for 2nd test selection in a dramatic win over the Victorian state side. Styris crafted a brilliant 124 to put NZ into the winner's circle.
Chasing 383 to win Lou Vincent smashed 131 off just 89 to put NZ in the hunt. But it was Stryis who lasted nearly the chase, falling 2 runs short.
The selectors will now have a tough choice to decide on the 2nd test team. If the pitch does not favour spin it is exspected Styris or Jacob Oram will come in. Lou Vincent is pushing hard for Matthew Sinclair's test opening spot after sinclair got 0 & 29 in the 1st test.
13 man squad: S. Fleming (c), Sinclair, Richardson, Astle, Styris, McMillian, Cairns, McCullum, Oram, Martin, Tuffey, Bond.
