Sinclair made nought and 15 in the first two games of the series

New Zealand named Michael Papps, Andre Adams and James Marshall in a 13-man squad for the next two matches in the one-day series against Australia.
They replace all-rounder Scott Styris, who has a bruised knee, and out-of-form batsman Mathew Sinclair.
Coach John Bracewell said Sinclair needed to regain confidence by playing domestic cricket.
New Zealand trail 2-0 in the five-match series after suffering a 106-run defeat in Christchurch on Tuesday.
Uncapped Marshall was 12th man for that match and will now hope for an opportunity to join his twin brother Hamish in the side.
Papps, meanwhile, has been in excellent one-day form for Canterbury, scoring 423 runs in nine matches this season at an average of 52.87.
He has not played international cricket since the Test series in England last June.
The 25-year-old was selected for a tour to Bangladesh which followed but did not make it onto the plane after dislocating a shoulder.
New Zealand squad: Stephen Fleming (captain), Andre Adams, Nathan Astle, Chris Cairns, Brendon McCullum, Craig McMillan, Hamish Marshall, James Marshall, Kyle Mills, Michael Papps, Daryl Tuffey, Daniel Vettori, Jeff Wilson.
