Australia recalled fast bowler Glenn McGrath and dropped Michael Kasprowicz for Wednesday's second limited-overs international with New Zealand.
McGrath missed Sunday's series opener in Melbourne, which New Zealand won by four wickets, but will play in the second match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The home side looked to be cruising to victory in Melbourne, with New Zealand needing 32 runs from the last 18 balls.
But the Kiwis suddenly seized control by smashing 22 runs off the third-last over from Kasprowicz to reduce the target to 10 off the last two overs, securing victory with two balls to spare.
Australia have a policy of rotating their fast bowlers for one-day matches and Cricket Australia said Kasprowicz would rejoin the squad for the third match.
