Per our Statistical predictions,England and New Zealand should make it a very close finish at the Natwest cricket series.The England team have a 45% chance of winning,New Zealand have a 45% chance of winning and the West Indies cricket team have a 10% chance of winning.

In the Natwest cricket series matches we simulated without Flintoff,New Zealand won 60% of the time.So,Flintoff is evidently a very key element of the England cricket team.
