In her blog Monique Devereux wonders whether New Zealand’s body-slamming wicket celebrations were behind the shock warm-up loss to Bangladesh.
If it isn't done properly it can upset the metaphysics of proceedings and I fear this is what happened yesterday. Ungainly liftoffs, bad connections, wonky landings ... it can just lead to trouble and surprise losses.
Andre Adams is also in trouble after getting a one-match ban for shaking a batsman’s helmet during a provincial game. The Press’ Geoff Longley writes it may affect his chances of going to the West Indies if Mark Gillespie is ruled out.
