NAPIER, FEB 27: Captain Steve Waugh is setting new targets for his world champion Australian one-day cricket team after wrapping up their limited-over series against New Zealand with two games left.Having acclaimed his Test side last year as one of Australia's best ever, Waugh now rates the limited overs side one of the best the world has seen.Four of Australia's 10 highest one-day totals have come in the last month.Yesterday's barnstorming 349 for six which set up a 48-run win over New Zealand in the fourth match of their series was Australia's highest score in their 458 One-Day Internationals.The Australians crashed a world record 15 sixes, extending an unbeaten streak which is expected to continue when they meet New Zealand again here on Wednesday.Waugh's men have lost just two of their last 29 matches, putting them on a pedestal with the West Indies team of the 1980s, but Waugh was adamant there was much improvement still to come.``We believe we're only starting now. We're not looking at this as being the end of our streak,'' Waugh said today.``We want to set new standards. We believe we can play better and we we can keep winning,'' he said.``We're certainly playing cricket to a high standard and maybe to a standard that very few teams in the one-day game have ever reached,'' Waugh said.``South Africa were there a few years ago and the West Indies in the mid-80s and besides that I think we're definitely up there as one of the best sides that has played the game.''Waugh rested high-scoring Matthew Hayden along with strike bowler Glenn McGrath from yesterday's match, sent big-hitting Andrew Symonds in at No 3 and dropped Michael Bevan one spot to five.Yet the batsmen maintained an astonishing pace that will be long remembered by the Christchurch crowd - and the feat was achieved without injured frontline batsman Ricky Ponting.``The team is really growing together well and the bulk of this side can stay together for the next (2003) World Cup,'' Waugh said.``All the guys are striking the ball very well and it's probably a unique experience at the moment and we're sort of feeding off each other.``We had a team meeting before the game and we asked ourselves about 20 different questions about how we could improve different aspects of our game and I guess it showed,'' the Australian skipper said.WELLINGTON: New Zealand wicket-keeper Adam Parore has been dropped for the remainder of the one-day cricket series against Australia, selectors said on Sunday. He will be replaced by Wellington new cap Chris Nevin.Parore, 29, played his 137th One-Day International when New Zealand lost by 48 runs to go 0-3 down in the six-match series. The first match was a no-result due to rain.``We have been concerned about the wicket-keeping and are looking for more energy behind the stumps,'' convenor of selectors Ross Dykes said in a statement. Another to be dropped is canterbury seam bowler Warren Wisneski, who has made no impression since joining the team for the first time in the current series.His place has been taken by the experienced Simon Doull, an original selection in the one-day squad who was released from the last two matches to play for Northern Districts in the Shell Trophy first class competition.The selectors have also recalled offspinner Paul Wiseman as they extended the squad by one to 13. Wiseman played in the second match on February 19 in Auckland.Dykes said Parore remained in contention for the upcoming three-match Test series against Australia.New Zealand Squad: Stephen Fleming (Captain), Nathan Astle, Chris Harris, Craig McMillan, Mathew Sinclair, Roger Twose, Paul Wiseman, Chris Cairns, Simon Doull, Robert Kennedy, Chris Nevin, Scott Styris and Daniel Vettori.
