Yep definitely & just in time for Day 1 starting on Tuesday.
I guess that's one thing to halt this England Test machine, although might clear by Saturday Day 5 to give England a chance to score 300/6 in 35 overs & then bowl NZ out twice in the last session and a bit.

It's still like a week out, there's still a chance that the cyclone veers off course/gets weaker or whatever.

Correction Thursday, so might be a 2-3 day Test which you would put it past this English side to be enough time.

I'm pretty dubious of these 12-a-side , or 15-a-side, non-FC games. But, for someone like young Cumming that is a pretty relentless exposure to quality bowlers. 6 test quality proper bowlers spell after spell. No let up when a domestic no-name comes on 3rd and 4th change, which would be his experiences so far.
Compared to the English facing Solia opening the bowling.

I've been at the ground both days for a bit after work and it's a slow dog motorway (which is why such a raw XI is competing with England) but Jacob Cumming does look a good player from the highlights I watched to catch up on early play just now. Foakes was taking the ball very low by 5pm.
I was at a different angle today but can confirm that compared to Anderson and Robinson, McKay is very quick. Anderson was probably bowling within himself because to the naked eye he was similar pace to Robinson. I could pick them up but my terrible eyesight was losing McKay. I didn't see Stone in the flesh though.

It's meant to hit on Sunday according to the radar, and be gone by midnight on Tuesday. Plenty of time for the ground to recover for Thursday, given modern drainage. I think we'll be OK.

I don't think anyone would be bowling at 100%, this is a practice game and should be viewed as such. The bowlers try out balls that likely they would rely on, work out their rythm etc. They don't go out particularly all out to take wickets so any runs/wickets should be taken with grain of salt. Good for some of our younger boys to have been involved, helps them break the barriers, builds bit of confidence and enthusiasm.

Hutt District Robert Walters Premier Men v Karori Premier 1st XI, Summer 2022/23, R12 - Game Centre | PlayHQ
Game Centre for Hutt District Robert Walters Premier Men v Karori Premier 1st XI in ROBLAWMAX Senior Men Summer 2022/23 season, Round 12
7 firebirds playing club cricket today in Wellington, 4 for HDCC and 3 for Karori. That's some Hutt District line up and my boy Ben Sears is back bowling albeit only 4 overs.
Hearing a lot of good things about Muhammad Abbas, I was hoping he ends up a top class left armer but been told he's 120 k type of bowler but a very good bat.

Tim Robinson got 72 off 58 opening for Onslow in a narrow loss to Norths.
And yeah, Wagner's success in the Super Smash has been a revelation. That would be great if he could extend his international career that way.
