Hussain: We didn't even turn up today Wisden CricInfo staff - February 16, 2002
WELLINGTON (Reuters) "We didn't even turn up today," Hussain said after the match, which was England's second-lowest one-day international total after the 86 all out against Australia in Manchester last year. "We can take no positives out of the game. I was more disappointed to lose the match in Christchurch because we had a chance there and competed and perhaps should have won, but today was one of those days. "Days like this will happen, but I firmly believe we have got the players to beat New Zealand and we've got to turn around and produce something in Napier to keep the series alive." New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming, who said after the toss he would have put England in had he won it, said he was delighted with every facet of his team's play. "The pitch was slow but there weren't any real demons in it," Fleming said. "Our score provided us with the opportunity to attack. We batted well through the middle order. It wasn't easy, but it only meant you had to concentrate a little harder." New Zealand take a 2-0 lead into the third match in Napier on Thursday.
