I just read the preview for the NZ vs Ireland game on cricinfo and it said:
"while Ross Taylor's hamstring has forced the selectors to rest him"
But then it had him in the likely line up?:
1 Brendon McCullum (capt), 2 Martin Guptil, 3 Ross Taylor, 4 Neil Broom, 5 Jacob Oram, 6 Scott Styris, 7 Peter McGlashan (wk), 8 Nathan McCullum, 9 James Franklin, 10 Ian Butler, 11 Kyle Mills
