Black Caps in Zimbabwe
-
Just on Henry and his chances of 10 for the match……
It’s a staggering stat that just THREE Black Cap bowlers have ever taken more than one 10 fer in their careers.
Hadlee stands out like dogs balls by achieving this NINE times, Vettori three and Patel twice.
Southee, Boult, Martin, Cairns jr and sr, Chatfield, Bracewell, Nash, Bond, Jamieson, Santner, Craig, Cowie, Troup and Pringle make up the rest having done this once each. Some very good bowlers here mixed in with a few one off freak performances.
Notable to me that Wagner who would be in the discussion for an all time NZ XI never managed it once.

Young and Conway to declare at 600 without loss?

Yeah go on then.
Young is too good a player to not have scored a ton and Conway is…..well, I thought he was cooked but here’s hoping he contributes too.

Looking forward to a scratchy 30 from Nicholls
Disappointing Duffy isn't getting a run.
You called it.
Such a nothing score in cricket, neither here nor there.
Should end up with a comfortable lead by the end of the days play today though

Nailed it. Scratchy 34.

@SouthernMann and a familiar dismissal

This reminds me of the old days of the Black Caps. Top order is crap, but the tail gets us up to something respectable.
Surely our aim vs Zimbabwe is to only bat once. Certainly possible still, but we were 92 without, thus, it's a fairly ordinary day so far.

O'Rourke was out in that second innings too, so it was just Henry and the spinners. (Mitchell too I guess). Described as 'stiffness' so hopefully precautionary and he'll be a go for the second match.
He's a Kiwi quick looking useful. It'll be a stress fracture.

We have pretty average form in terms of keeping our young quicks injury free

We do. @Chris can probably give us an idea why. Training? Lack of match play? Or maybe, with our limited depth we notice it more.

Chris will have a lot more science to it. My two cents worth on the bowling injuries is I think you're right on the limited depth making it noticeable.
It may also be relatively less technical training when they're younger, as things like bowling loads are otherwise increasingly being discussed at slightly younger levels.
