Two four day games for the Kiwis against county reserves. Actually, NZ will include a few ringers themselves. Crazy times.

Kane Williamson
Brendan McCullum
Corey Anderson
Trent Boult
Tim Southee

all play in the IPL. Don't know if their absence depends on their sides progressing to the knockout. NZC requested the ECB put the games back, or played the ODIs first, but these requests were turned down. The second of the warm ups is not designated first class, so it's possible that the arriving IPLers will enter the game as they get here.

Players who are in England already will supplement the squad. I've found Jacob Duffy, Ben Wheeler and Mitchell Santner (who is in the ODI squad) named as back up. Watling will captain until McCullum arrives.

Their blogs are enjoyable, in a blokes talking in a shed sort of way. That's meant to be a compliment.

Somerset's day so far as they have NZ 145/6.

Good bowling from Somerset as NZ struggle to 237.

Somerset are struggling themselves with the bat - currently 98/5.

Surprised none of the papers are in duty for this game.
Maybe their finally got the message if you don't wanna watch the game don't go.

Somerset need 334 to win.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Sun May 10, 2015 4:19 pm

Looks a decent run out for NZ.

by **Aidan11** » Mon May 11, 2015 12:43 pm

NZ win by 66 runs.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Mon May 11, 2015 3:30 pm

Wickets for Craig. And Wheeler, the lead bowler in this game won't be here for the Tests.

Question for NZ is which two will support Boult and Southee out of Craig, Wagner, Henry, Bracewell.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Mon May 11, 2015 4:00 pm

Who will they open with? Most of the Kiwi team seems settled, just three places uncertain. I guess there's a chance that Lord's will be bright green again, otherwise Craig would be a cert.

Latham
Rutherford/Guptill
Williamson
Taylor
McCullum
Anderson
Watling
Craig/Bracewell/Henry
Southee
Wagner/Bracewell/Henry
Boult

Ronchi.

Playing Worcester today.

Or more precisely they should have been playing Worcester.

Rain has won the day.

by **greyblazer** » Fri May 15, 2015 4:35 am

Southee, Boult, Wagner, Wheeler, Bracewell, Milne, Henry, Samll, Duffy and maybe more. NZ have so many pacers these days.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Fri May 15, 2015 11:17 am

Fifteen a side. Kiwis one down, Latham out.

No Boult, McCullum, Southee of the IPL players.

Moeen has a couple of wickets for Worcs.
