Match factsDecember 6, 2016 Start time 1420 local (0320 GMT)Big PictureNew Zealand must have left the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday night thinking, if only. If only they had asked for a review when Steven Smith was given not-out by umpire Mick Martell after being trapped lbw on 14, the first ODI might have unfolded quite differently. Trent Boults fine delivery had swung in and trapped Smith in front, but New Zealand declined to refer Martells decision upstairs. There was plenty of chat afterwards about that, New Zealand coach Mike Hesson said. There were two sounds and the possibility of an inside edge. Were all well aware there wasnt. That was the thinking and you could understand it. It was a little bit frustrating. The reason it was frustrating was that Smith went on to accumulate 164 and set up a big win for Australia.The teams now move on to Canberra with Australia 1-0 up in the three-match series, so New Zealand must win at the Manuka Oval on Tuesday to have any hope of retaining the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy. The good news for New Zealand is that they had one batsman who looked every bit as dangerous as Smith at the SCG, but unfortunately for them, Martin Guptill couldnt go quite as deep into the innings as Smith, and fell for 114 off 102 balls. The toss may be particularly important in Canberra, where big runs are generally available, and the team batting first has won the six most recent ODIs.Form guideAustralia: WLLLL (last five completed matches, most recent first) New Zealand: LLWLWIn the spotlightA golden duck in Sydney was hardly the start Aaron Finch wanted in this series, but he will be pleased to arrive in Canberra for the second game. Take a look at Finchs scores in his three ODIs at the Manuka Oval: 38, 109 and 107. His last two hundreds at the venue have come against South Africa and India, and Finch could use a big score again: in 18 ODIs since the end of the previous home summer, Finch has averaged just 26.25.After New Zealand lost Guptill, their hopes of chasing down the hefty target in Sydney faded. But, while Colin Munro was at the crease, there remained at least a tiny glimmer of hope. Munro struck four fours and one six in his innings of 49, and put on 50 for the eighth wicket with Matt Henry. While they were together, the required run rate hovered around nine an over, but at least it didnt balloon too much further. But when they both holed out in one Pat Cummins over - the 44th of the innings - the dream was dashed. It was a different sort of knock than what Im used to playing, Munro said. Given that role to try and take things a bit deeper in the innings sort of suits my game. Hopefully, in the games to come, we can have a few extra batters around me at the end and have a bit of a hit.Team newsGlenn Maxwell and James Faulkner were the two members of Australias 13-man squad left out in Sydney, and the selectors may wish to retain the winning XI in an attempt to secure the series.Australia (possible) 1 David Warner, 2 Aaron Finch, 3, Steven Smith (capt), 4 George Bailey, 5 Mitchell Marsh, 6 Travis Head, 7 Matthew Wade (wk), 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Adam Zampa, 10 Pat Cummins, 11 Josh Hazlewood.Lockie Ferguson picked up a wicket in his first international over, but the rest of his debut was rather costly: he leaked 73 runs from nine overs, sent down four no-balls and therefore four free hits, and also cramped up. Tim Southee might come in for Ferguson in Canberra. New Zealand may also wonder if their batting order could be strengthened by the inclusion of Henry Nicholls.New Zealand (possible) 1 Tom Latham, 2 Martin Guptill, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Jimmy Neesham, 5 Colin Munro, 6 BJ Watling (wk), 7 Mitchell Santner, 8 Colin de Grandhomme, 9 Matt Henry, 10 Tim Southee, 11 Trent Boult.Pitch and conditionsManuka Oval is the kind of venue where big totals are on offer batting first, and chasing can be a challenge. The forecast for Tuesday is for a shower or two and a top temperature of 28 degrees centigrade.Stats and triviaIn Sydney, Guptill became the tenth-fastest player to 5000 ODI runs, behind Hashim Amla, Viv Richards, Virat Kohli, Brian Lara, Gordon Greenidge, AB de Villiers, Sourav Ganguly, Dean Jones and Graeme Smith.This will be Kane Williamsons 100th one-day international.Adam Zampa enters this game as the worlds leading ODI wicket-taker in 2016, with 30 scalps at 27.80. His feat is all the more impressive given he didnt make his ODI debut until February in New Zealand.QuotesWe were a little bit frustrated with the fact we chased the game with the ball.

The defending champion beat Gael Monfils of France 7-6 (6), 6-3, while second-seeded Andy Murray of Britain dispatched Edouard Roger-Vasselin, also of France, 6-3, 6-3. Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. ST. LOUIS -- Orlando Pace accomplished what he set out to do, becoming one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL. At 6-foot-7, he had the wingspan to ward off pass rushers, at 325 pounds he had the bulk for the power game, plus he was amazingly light on his feet.Hes cut from a different cloth, former St. Louis Rams teammate DMarco Farr said. Canton is built for guys like him.There is one small regret for the new Pro Football Hall of Famer.Though he played an outsized role in the Greatest Show on Turf with the assemblage of high-octane talent that produced two Super Bowl teams and a championship with the St. Louis Rams from 1999-2001, the soft-spoken, five-time All-Pro never made it to the end zone.I did get a little jealous when I see Ryan Tucker score, and some other guys, too, Pace said.Though head coach Mike Martz was somewhat receptive to the idea of giving Pace the ball in the second Super Bowl season, offensive line coach Jim Hanifan nixed the tackle-eligible hijinks, judging Pace too much of a vital cog to risk injury.He didnt want me to catch the ball, he didnt want me to get hurt, Pace said. He vetoed all those thoughts and all those special plays.Now, the 40-year-old Pace has a chance to dictate terms. He has chosen his son, Justin, to be his presenter in Canton, Ohio, on Saturday.He was my first-born and I wanted him to really share in that moment, Pace said.Pace was such a catch coming out of Ohio State in 1997 that the Rams traded up with the Jets to snatch him first overall. From 1999-2004, St. Louis was wildly successful, in no small part because of the gentle giant protecting the left flank for first Kurt Warner and then Marc Bulger.He was the MVP of what we were doing, wide receiver Isaac Bruce said.The first time I saw him walk through the door I was like, `my goodness. He was huge, Farr said. He was one of our better athletes, and that included the receivers and the running backs.In an eight-year stretch from 1998-2005, Pace played every game in seven of those seasons. He had the franchise tag three consecutive years in a career finally derailed by a torn biceps.The Sandusky, Ohio, native made such an impression that current Rams guard Rodger Saffold, who also grew up in Ohio, wears No. 76 in his honor.Linebacker Mike Jones had the tackle that saved the 2000 Super Bowl victory over Tennessee, but like other teammates, he recognized the rare talent on offense that got the Rams to the pinnacle. Jones said Pace had the skills of a power forward.He had that rare ability too drive you off the ball and set a fence that no one could get around, Jones said.ddddddddddddHall of Famer and former teammate Aeneas Williams remembers being struck by a speech from Archie Manning, who said, Guys, you see me limping, so its obvious that none of my teammates, offensive linemen, are in the Hall of Fame.I can say this about Kurt Warner, hes not limping. Hes fairly healthy and one of the reasons is because he had Orlando Pace protecting his blind side.Before the Rams chose him, Pace had never been to St. Louis. He was familiar with Dick Vermeil, though, from the coachs experience on college football telecasts before returning to the NFL.Pace was among the first to be credited with pancake blocks when he dominated at Ohio State.When I went to Columbus, it was almost like a dream, Pace recalled. Everything that could go right, did go right.The NFL agreed with that assessment, and Pace was the first offensive lineman picked No. 1 overall since 1968.Theres not a lot of hardships being No. 1, Pace said.There was an adjustment period. He made nine starts his rookie year, struggling along with the rest of the franchise, which had a losing record each of its first four years in St. Louis after making the move from the West Coast.In 1999, the famously intense Vermeil backed off on what had been a grueling practice regimen. Everybody thrived with a more focused approach, and though Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk got the lions share of the credit, none of it would have happened without Pace paving the way.In 99, Pace anchored a line that helped the offense produce the most passing yards in NFL history.I loved it in St. Louis, Im always a Ram, said Pace, who wrapped up his career with a year in Chicago in 2009. Nobody can ever take that away. It was a special time for us.Pace is the second member of the Rams glory years in St. Louis make it to Canton, joining Faulk. He hopes there will be more, and soon, with Warner a finalist the last two years, and wide receivers Bruce and Torry Holt also instrumental in that run.Kurt should have gotten in this year, Pace said. Hopefully he gets the call for what he did for two organizations, winning two MVPs. Theres no way he should not be in the hall.Pace takes his place there on Saturday night.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow R.B.
