Adams was only supposed to play FC cricket this season if he was desperately needed, so they must be pretty keen on the whole five specialist bowlers and an allrounder thing to play him.

TBF Woodcock is an incisive destructive spinner.

He was listed in a newspaper article as "needing a rest", whatever that means, so it doesn't sound like he'll be out for long.
Two in first innings, unsure in second. Cornwall got made to follow on to 202 (follow-on is 100 behind). They got 250 odd for 7 second dig but he didn't get over 30.
Maybe Milne is that extra seamer they're thinking about taking to Australia, that can be added after this round of the PS or the Aus A game (I forget).
Ps. De Grandhomme is a lord. Told you all.

Yeah I suspect they're withholding the last spot in the hopes a Milne, Wheeler etc goes nuts and smashes a team.
I'm already surprised at the restraint shown with Milne by the selectors. The opportunity to hurl 150kph and Ponting's throat isn't one I thought they could resist.
Temptation to fight fire with fire in terms of Cummins now as well, I would suggest? Maybe they want him to come through fit in one more FC match then see where he's at.
Cricket: Pained Crowe concedes defeat - Sport - NZ Herald News - not entirely unsurprising, given his age and injury history. Pretty frustrating I would say, having done a lot of work over the off-season.

Certainly NZ selectors at times tend to imitate Australian selectors, which can be annoying. Eg. a few years ago the line was that Australia would debut a lot of players in their late 20s/early 30s rather than going for younger guys, and therefore we should follow suit. Similarly now there will be a temptation to debut a teenage 140+ km/h bowler and hope it pays off.
Rain and delays at all three matches today. I guess though we've been lucky that 6 out of 6 matches so far have been not rain affected.

It was our idea first!

Otago vs. ND is in Dunners TBF.The lack of cricket being played today is upsetting.
Why are all these games at Lincoln, anyway? It's a nice day in the upper North Island today. If the Auckland game was being played here...

Watling may have deserved a lot of the criticism he received, but it is still good to see a fringe batsman go back to domestic cricket and score a hundred against one of the best attacks in the country.
I noticed Wright mentioned Bates in that article too... He is one player I wouldn't mind seeing in ODIs first.
Edit: lolled at Adams smashing 79 from 54 balls. Guess I'll retract some of the negative things I said about Auckland's middle and lower order
