Three appeals are too many

Some real weird emotions ran through me, but mostly disappointment that I couldn't have been the difference on the fifth morning

While we were waiting for Shiv to come out, Dan asked me to warm up, we had a plan that we were going to implement against him

Batting warm-ups are great

And there lies day two of this Test match

I felt good in the nets yesterday and took a whole heap of confidence into this match

Right, it's blog time

I love Wellington, but, on days like today, I really hate the place

It was just bouncers now

The blue skies were to be seen nowhere on the second day of the first Test between New Zealand and West Indies in Dunedin

Let's kick this thing off.....

Joe Root's excellent run, together with an impressive performance from England's seamers, have left New Zealand outplayed and outgunned again

It was on odd Twenty20 series with three one-sided matches, none more so than the decider, and there were also contrasting performances from two players who had been away from the scene for different reasons

An experienced crop of bowlers should be available but their over-coaching has forced New Zealand to turn to youth - a policy that looks to be unexpectedly working

The end of a season (or a career) can be a disorienting, disconcerting time for a cricketer
