***Official*** New Zealand tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa 2016

[91Jmay]

Pretty terrible start from Southee. Rader all over the place.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

So did Bad Tim show up today.

 

[Starfighter]

Not much of a crowd...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pretty terrible start from Southee. Rader all over the place.

Yeah, has strayed onto the pads way too much so far.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Boult, on the other hand already looks way better than he was against Australia. Good signs.

 

[Zinzan]

Stfu Pollock, Boult just needs to be patient, he shouldn't be trying anything different.

 

[Moss]

Boult excellent, but ragged from Southee so far.

 

[91Jmay]

Boult needs to move it up another half a foot, but otherwise has looked really good. His rhythm looks good, didn't think he was getting through his action that well against Aus.

 

[91Jmay]

There we go. That is the length. Perfect.

 

[Moss]

Ooh, drool worthy late swing from Boult.

Did think Elgar did well to not nick off in the previous Boult over.

 

[Zinzan]

Boult, on the other hand already looks way better than he was against Australia. Good signs.

Yup came good in the 2nd Test vs. Zim. Looks like pre-stressfracture Boult.

how ruthless will kane be with the bowling changes? michael clarke used to happily pull guys out after two overs if they were wasting the new ball. it was glorious.

 

[Howsie]

I think I would prefer Henry over Bracewell here.

 

[CM Punk]

I think I would prefer Henry over Bracewell here.

I would have played both and hooked Southee.

 

[StephenZA]

Boult bowling very well.... was he not consistently in the 140+ range, seems a bit slower here...

 

[Moss]

Time to see if this is a Bracewll-type pitch.

 

[Athlai]

Hoping Southee finds his radar a bit in his second spell, quite often has come back strongly in the past. If not he will be in for a long tour.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Boult bowling very well.... was he not consistently in the 140+ range, seems a bit slower here...

Looks quicker than he did vs Australia for sure.

 

[Zinzan]

I like the short-leg for Boult to the right-hander.

 

[91Jmay]

Looks a good pitch though, overheads doing a bit but bat first looking a solid decision.
