    Shout out to Bevon Jacobs who never got a game under Stead - the new coach picks him in his first game in charge and Jacobs responds with a wonderful batting effort on debut

    Conway failed with the bat as did some other regulars like Mitchell. Robinson probably doesn't even play against Zimbabwe as he is only a replacement for those arriving late from the US.

    Was anybody actually calling for his inclusion before he was plucked from nowhere for the IPL?

    I was thinking of the 3 match series at home vs Sri Lanka where he was selected in the squad but never got a game - was a waste of an opportunity.

    Well we smacked SA last night, I saw most of the first innings before going to bed, they didn't have any answers to our bowlers. Looks like Seifert got going to get us home at a canter.

    We have our last game against Zimbabwe tomorrow before the final against SA on Saturday night.

    What a finish, great stuff BCs! 3 run win, SA needing 4 off 2, Mitchell takes a blazing catch and Duffy bowls an unhittable on the final ball.

    Nice to win a meaningless T20 series no one will remember 2 weeks from now… but seriously how good is Henry across all 3 formats now

    Good effort from Henry to defend 8 in the final over against two set batters. 2 wickets plus a dropped catch. Another brutal choke in a knock out for the South Africans.

    They've already reached their allocation for world titles for the next decade at least

    I’ll have forgotten two days from now…

    Matt Henry’s improvement across all formats is inspiring stuff. The numbers are excellent across the board.

    Still got quite a few years left in the team provided injuries and form don’t become issues for him.

    Considering until fairly recently he was pretty much a spare part if Southee/Boult/Wagner broke down he’s done so well to get where he is

    One of those players where stats and a bit of luck finally swung the way of talent that was always there.

    Southee made a career out of chucking pies from start to finish.Now he is teaching the English bowlers not sure what though.

    Black Caps captain Tom Latham has been ruled out of the first test against Zimbabwe after suffering a shoulder injury.

    He would have been hoping to finally get his first century since 2022.
