Black Caps Tour to Zimbabwe

[Damo]

We are bowling. Hope to see Boult and Southee get into their work. To my mind they were very disappointing in the last summer.

[taniwharugby]

<p>someone forgot to tell Zimbabwe the Flag referendum was unsuccessful, or maybe as they dont have them over there, they just figured it was a done deal?</p>

[Chris B.]

<p>Huge crowd in. So many that I can't list all their names.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Their opener just dismissed has a FC average of 21.</p>

[Gunner]

Southee starts well.<br><br>
Nicks one out to Guppy at 2nd slip.

That's right up there with Hadlee.

<p>I think on pitches where a 4th seamer is handy, a 2nd spinner wouldn't be. But yeah, there is no obvious case for number 5 but Will Young, Popli, Munro, Nicholls, Tome Bruce and maybe even Guptill are all options there.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Good thing about my plan is that any of Anderson, Santner or Neesham could come good as a number five, since any of them is already easily good enough to bat seven and probably six.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Need to start looking around for Watling's eventual replacement - especially since Ronchi's not got far to run.  </p>

[Damo]

How old is Watling? Surely we don't need to find a replacement just yet.

<p>31. We need him to stick around because we don't have deep keeping stocks.</p>

<p>Just turned 31, so he's hopefully got a couple more years. But, Ronchi is 35 and not done much in the past 12 months.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Never too soon to start looking. :)</p>

<p>You're far too nice sometimes Chris B.</p>

[Damo]

Ronchi's a busted flush, no doubt about that. 31 isn't that old for a keeper, especially a relatively new one to international cricket. He might have another 4-5 years in him.

[Gunner]

10 overs in 50 minutes of play.<br><br>
C'mon Kane, a quick game's a good game.

[No Quarter]

The pitch curator looks like a fun guy to hang out with.

<p>Incredibly harsh!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ronchi has a test average of 60 in that period!</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Soft wicket.</p>

[mimic]

<p>and there goes</p>

[JK]

<p>And another as Wagner gets his 2nd</p>
<p> </p>
<p>36/4</p>

[JK]

<p>Looks like may have been a header with no bat involved</p>

<p>No reviews?</p>

<p>There seem to be a lack of cameras, anyway.</p>
