...but what about our bowling?

The criticism of New Zealand teams has for a long time (quite rightly) been that the top order don't score enough runs consistently. But this test has highlighted another problem - on a pitch that was supposed to be fast & bouncy & support the quick bowlers, Dan Vettori bowled more overs on the first day of the test than any of the quicks. Bangladesh is the only other test playing nation where this would happen.
