Match Notes

  • Kiwi batsmen keep in touch back at home

    New Zealand's top cricketers might have their minds otherwise focused for today's ICC KnockOut Trophy final in Kenya, but two of their team-mates back home showed they are keeping in good touch in preparation for their call-up to South Africa

  • Should Nash concentrate on his batting?

    Dion Nash has become such a crucial element in New Zealand's cricket equation he cannot afford to be lost at such an early stage of his career if back problems are likely to persist for him

  • Young spinners need to be more aggressive, Jenner

    Australian leg-spin bowler and spin coach Terry Jenner says New Zealand's young spinners need to be more aggressive in their approach

  • Short trip left Richardson hankering for more

    No sooner had Mark Richardson jetted into Zimbabwe to start his international cricket career than it felt like he was on his way home again

  • Vettori agonises over having to watch from afar

    New Zealand left-arm slow bowler Daniel Vettori faced a heavy day of medical examination in Christchurch today as he attempted to get to the bottom of the back injury which forced him out of the Zimbabwe tour
