I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Saw a picture of Ryder in the paper today. He looked way older than he should be for his age, like he was in his mid thirties.

I'd guess something like...
Cook
Mustard
Bell
Pietersen
Collingwood
Shah
Bopara \ Wright
Broad
Swann
Sidebottom
Anderson
That's hoping it'll be a proper 11-a-side match, not some 12-plays-16 rubbish.
If it is, I couldn't care less what happens, if it's a proper game here's hoping Mascarenhas gets picked and does well, and Cook and Pietersen to get off to a good start.

I hear the matches against Canterbury are 13 a side shams. According to Moores anyway.

One is 13 and the other is 12.

But New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori has warned Anderson and the rest of the England attack that conditions may not be as friendly as they had hoped.
Over the years, conditions in New Zealand have helped seamers like Anderson. But things are changing, according to Vettori.
"Most seam bowlers enjoy the conditions out here, and I am sure Jimmy Anderson, Ryan Sidebottom and Matthew Hoggard are looking forward to it, but the wickets have got a bit flatter in New Zealand over the last few years," said Vettori.
"It all depends on how they are prepared and what you stumble on on the day."

It was fair I thought, however the camera really does add a few pounds as he looks slightly slimmer in real life though. It was good to see Adam Parore backing upwhat he said rather than just stating it like he did on Radio Sport through out the week.

Canterbury Versus England
England look real, polished already, they look like a team ready to start playing a test series. I have just came back from the match, going for the whole second match tomorrow. England batted first and made a massive 295, and the local team are 100/2 in about the 25 over, when I left. On this wicket 295 is amazing, it keeps so low, Pieterson was just superb in his shot selection and timing. Fulton for Canterbury didn't do his NZ Selection any favors, he was quite pathetic in the field, very lazy and looked liked he didn't want to be there, Hindi Bowled brilliantly for the home side.

Looking at the card it sems like England got a decent hit out with most of the top order getting runs. Makes a welcome change from recent tour games.
The score is slightly inflated though as they played 8 batsmen & 5 bowlers.
