Guptill could be forgiven for being frustrated at sitting out the West Indies matches. Guptill has been back hitting balls for three weeks and yesterday had a fielding session in Whangarei with the New Zealand team. Guptill admits he hates watching cricket, especially if it's his team he's watching and he knows he should be out there. Guptill and his Auckland team mate Colin Munro formed a promising opening combination in India a few weeks ago.
