Heating up

The Black Caps have sneakily slipped in another warm ups match, v. Netherlands. A 90-run thrashing. The sort of margin that shouldn’t be attainable in a 20-over match. This follows a 7-wicket victory over Ireland and a last ball win over Bangladesh, so on the face of it it looks like the team is improving, though the rankings of the opponents have decreased in each successive match. There will be a huge turn around in the quality of the opposition when we play the first official warm up tonight against India.

McCullum scored a good 62. Franklin bowled a great 3/10 off 4. But the game will probably be remembered as being the international debut of Dutch-stralian Renaissance man Dirty Dirk Nannes, so beloved by Cricket with Balls.

    These warm up games are not counted as international mathches, hence Dirk Nannes still has to wait for his international debut :-)
