Bravo brings New Zealand down to earth

Jesse Ryder made a fruitless return to the global stage Thursday, as a new look West Indies attack carved through New Zealand in the opening one-day international Thursday.
Ryder's return after a 22-month exile was the focal point before the match but the swashbuckling opener only lasted five balls to start a New Zealand collapse that ended in the 43rd over for 156.
With the introduction of one-day specialists both sides bear little resemblance to the squads that featured in the just completed Test series comprehensively won by New Zealand.
Any confidence New Zealand took from the Tests quickly evaporated when they faced new arrivals Ravi Rampaul, Dwayne Bravo and Jason Holder.

Only the McCullum brothers Brendon and Nathan offered any serious resistance, contributing 98 of the New Zealand total with the remaining nine scoring a total of just 49 runs with nine extras.
Bravo returned figures of four for 44 while Rampaul and Holder took two wickets apiece.
Ryder was the first to fall, slashing at a wide delivery from Rampaul to be caught by Darren Bravo at cover point without scoring.
Rampaul then captured Martin Guptill (two) leg before wicket with a ball that cut back and Holder ran out dangerman Ross Taylor (three) to have New Zealand in a hole at three for 10 from which they never recovered.
