This is proving to be an excellent warm-up.
Tbh NZ played five one dayers and had a very tough warm-up match last time against a side featuring Shilly, Roach, Deonarine etc...and they just about hung on for a draw it was that tough...but it didn't really help them in the tests in the end.

Lack of preparation is not an excuse I'd give about the last tour.

39/1 now..not sure if it's Thomas or Campbell who's gone....Wagner got the wicket.

EDIT: Campbell has gone...happy it wasn't Thomas as he's the prospect we're all watching out for interms of the A-team.

Only just managed to get stream working - Sodhi's ripping it miles here. Pitching them on middle and Watling's diving across in front on first slip to take them. Looks like he's bowling a bit too short though.

Thanks Kippax, that footage explains a lot. Sodhi is not a big turner of his leggie at all and yet it is going miles. Some relatively ordinary spinners on the Jamaica team were causing problems earlier too by the sound of it.

I don't like pitches like this, it sums up our domestic cricket because it makes ordinary spinners look like demons and most of the batsmen look bad I(even if most of them are anyway!).

A Boult without a Southee is like a bolt without a nut. Can't keep things tight then falls apart.

Haha, Boult is so funny. How's Wagner actually bowling? Is he doing better than Boult or has he benefitted from some classic Wagner troll dismissals?
