2-0 series victory provided the weather holds. Zimbabwe don't look like a test team to me.
Conway can thank his lucky stars KW is unavailable. His place must have been in jeopardy.
Is Jamieson unavailable or injured ?
Unavailable expecting his first child.

Weird thing is these tests aren't part of the current WTC cycle.
Disappointing (unsurprising however) that KW and a couple others choosing leagues/county cricket over playing for NZ.Disagree. I'm very pleased KW is missing this tour.
But, I'm incredibly disappointed that his vacant place on this gimme tour is being back-filled by a fully declinef 33 year old.
What an incredibly disappointing test squad, opportunity wasted.

Good to see Matt Rowe get a full contract with Canterbury after moving from CD.
Probably the most promising Under 20 year old quick in NZ.
One to look out for in the future.
Has good pace moves the ball late creates good bounce and comes over the top nice and tall with a good seam up.
To me he looks the best young quick we have had for a while.
Can hold a bat as well can establish himself as a decent no.8. -
I wasn't that connected with NZ Cricket through the Moles era (no Foxtel, lkmited internet). Any comment on this?
Interesting he thinks his career is worth a book.
Former Black Caps coach claims players were 'egotistical buggers'
Andy Moles hasn't held back about Brendon McCullum and other ex-Black Caps in a new book.

‘Brand McCullum’ what a cock.
However I remember him bursting onto the scene with a very Aussie swagger about him which I think definitely benefitted the team.
Hard to say who is in the right.
But yes, very surprised this is apparently worth a book
-
Interesting in Ross Taylor's book that he thought quite highly of Moles and was surprised by the player revolt at the time.

EXCLUSIVE: NZ Cricket's Major Associations considering action over 'uncomfortable' new project
Hmm watch this space...

It wouldn't feel right without another NZ quick bowler being sidelined with a back stress fracture.
- Black Caps fast bowler Will O’Rourke has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his lower back.
- The 24-year-old will be sidelined for at least three months, ruling him out of white-ball series against Australia, England and the West Indies.
- Glenn Phillips (groin) and Finn Allen (foot) will also miss the October series against Australia, while captain Mitch Santner (groin) is in doubt.

Zac Foulks coming off a couple of good knocks in the NZ A v SA A matches
75 and 54 top scoring in both games.I have heard his batting was rated higher than his bowling when he was coming through the grades, so that is good to see. It's strange, but whenever I have seen him bat, to my eye he has looked more like a bowler first, batsman second. Admittedly I have only see him in limited over games.

Yeah I missed keene 77 ,It has been a very poor batting performance ,Kelly has also failed so far.
Foulkes batting down the order has saved their arses twice now from putting up a very poor score both times. -

Yeah he was more of a batsmen early days,He has Genuine potential as an allrounder these days.
