Just to add to the general feeling of malaise towards NZ Cricket at the moment, wtf is up with the scheduling? Every game this week has been on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. Now, for as long as I have been playing cricket Tuesdays and Thursdays are practice nights, and games are on Saturdays. Why then have games been scheduled for those days? They're stopping a big chunk of people from going to the games - and then they complain about ticket sales being low.

Am becoming increasingly convinced that NZC is run by a bunch of morons.

Well, good to know he actually sees that as obtainable and hasn't just given up on the idea after his injury.

Really? That is a pretty exciting prospect. Didn't he bowl a fair bit quicker in that last match?
He was actually hitting 130k in the last game so he really is vital to our team now especially if he can improve his bowling.

Not sure why Jamie How is playing again and again. If Taylor doesn't want to play at number three you would think the ND number three Williamson would be an option.

I don't mind Southee not playing tbh. Mills needs confidence and Bennett needs as much experience he can get before the serious world cup games.

Edge from Bennett first up. So close!

You have to wonder about these speed guns at different grounds. This one seems 5-8ks slower on Bennett's side of the ground.

I hope NZ can get Vettori and Ryder fit for the WC to make it more interesting:)
Ryder is playing today i think. We need both on form for the world cup or we will be severely screwed.

Mills has bowled well so far. Just let him bowl 6-7 overs with the new ball and then don't let him anywhere near the death bowling action.

What is everybody's opinion on Sehzad? Does he remind people of any good players? To me he seems like a good prospect for the future and would definitely like to see him in tests.
