    Henry gets another
    He’s bowled 2.1 overs, not conceded a run and taken 2 wickets

    Yeah it’s not Australia lol

    I wish these new guys would stop taking wickets, it’s gonna make it very hard for Henry to get 10

    Wish we’d just kept batting give everyone a bat, we were always going to bowl them out why not bat until after tea on day 4

    Fat lady warming up..
    Foulkes has a serious chance at 10 wickets on debut
    He has 8, with 2 more available
    Impressed how well he swings it

    Shame the Zimbots are just turning into dust.

    Whilst I always expected to beat them they were a real challenge with the Flower Power brothers, Heath Streak, Strang, Olonga.

    I'm almost embarrassed.

    Zimbabwe would need to bat 3 more times to make NZ bat again in this match

    Biggest win in NZ history. An innings and 359 runs.

    Four genuine MOM contenders, Young, Duffy and Henry went well too !

    Not for batsmen padding stats in Zim when three team mates score 150+

    Funnily enough I would have preferred him to be one of them but wasnt to be

    Stephen Fleming was a guy who had a poor conversion rate. Hopefully Young sorts it out

    Same, pretty frustrating all round.

    In saying that I’m fairly sure every player in the series aside from perhaps Santner and Bracewell got their stats better than before plus three handy debuts.

    ……and now we have to wait ages for the next test.

    A shocking conversion rate. His record doesn't do him justice for how good he was. He should have had at least 20 test centuries and averged minimum 45.

    Funnily enough, Ross Taylor, who was always criticised for his mentality earlier in his career ended up succeeding in the longer format because of his mental toughness and his ability to get to 3 figures. If Fleming had Taylor's mentality, he would have had a far bettertest record.

    Until Taylor and of course KW emerged I would have had Fleming in my all time NZ XI.
    Most likely as captain.

    Awful conversion rate as noted but 7000 odd runs at 40 ( just ) puts him in that top echelon especially by all time NZ standards. So if anything given his very good average that indicates he got some crucial 70 or 80 odd scores and for a long period held together a brittle as fuck batting line up.

    Beautiful to watch like David Gower but also careless. Nine hundies to 46 50s is poor. Should have got 20 or so.
