New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori has slammed his batsmen for their soft dismissals which handed Australia the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy on a platter.
Australia registered a tense 12-run win over New Zealand to level the series.
Vettori's neck injury had forced him out of the first ODI as well.
New Zealand players are likely to take part in the third edition of the IPL.
Vettori has agreed to a short, two-match stint with the Bulls as their overseas player.
We have to be honest and acknowledge our batting hasn't been as good as we'd like, says Vettori.
The skipper has been cleared of injury fears for the home Tests against Pakistan.
I think both the teams are pretty similar, evenly matched, says McCullum.
Amid a thick security cover, both teams arrived for the Test to be held from Feb 14-18.
