impressive analysis by a girlsportychic33 said:mox pearl, i wouldn't say that quite yet. oram wasn't that flash with the ball today, but remember he is coming back from injury and has slightly remodelled his technique to make his approach to the crease a bit smoother so he isn't putting extra stress on his back. I think that Oram needs to keep on bowling through this tri-series, and get some hard practice in at the nets to get the ball on the spot like he consistently did before his stress reaction.
Bond has had more bowling practice than Oram, bond bowled in the later rounds of the domestic competition while oram was waiting for his back to heal. Bond also bowled more overs than Oram when they went with the NZC Academy to Brisbane.
It is great to see bondy back and bowling with pace, it makes the bowling attack look much better. Adams is looking suprisingly okay with the ball but am waiting for him to return to normal.
NZ's top order batting was very disappointing, stupid shot by Styris to get out especially when we were trying to rebuild from the loss of the earlier wickets. I would like to see H Marshall get some runs, he has been very disappointing this tour.
