We’re not looking for green seamers, but just something that we’ll be able to run in on, bowl hard and get the returns that you sometimes don’t get from one-day wickets

It’s been a while, right..

I was gutted to be dropped, it hurt a lot

I know you’ve become used to my reasonable level of quickness to get these blogs written and posted; sometimes though it’s just not possible.

Dan then decided that our goal was to not give Harbhajan four wickets for the innings

Two - nil; who’d a thought

Winning is an amazing feeling and it's not necessarily something we've done enough of in the last 12 months

I am looking forward to tomorrow night’s Twenty20

No big party last night, alas

Welcome to the 'G'

Can't beat the feeling of defeating Australia in their own backyard

I'm currently in one of the lounges at Sydney Airport waiting to board our fight to Perth

It's Friday night, I'm sitting on my bed in my new place, that I only moved into last Thursday, watching South Africa bowl to the Aussies on the telly, and I couldn't be happier.

And like that Wellington Firebirds are out of the State Shield, the domestic one-day competition, and there is still one match to go

Ahh, that's better

As it stands I won't be a part of the one-day series against the West Indies

Days like yesterday hurt

It's New Year’s day and I'm on the couch resting up for tomorrow’s one-day match against Otago

A beautiful day in Nelson, Trafalgar Park looking great, it was just a pity that there really was only one team in it; and it wasn't us.
