Chris Cairns analyses New Zealand's fast-bowling bench strength in the New Zealand Herald and introduces Hamish Bennett, a hope for the future.
Now built more like a reconditioned All Black forward than a fast bowler, Bennett's size and action has more than a passing resemblance to Englishman Steve Harmison - something not lost on Bennett's former age-grade team-mates who often referred to him as 'Harmy'.
Also read Richard Boock in the Sunday Star Times where he looks ahead to Daniel Vettori's first challenge as New Zealand Test captain.
Vettori, who will become the first front-line bowler since Harry Cave to be the country's fulltime test captain, can hardly wait for the Wanderers' match to arrive - despite the degree of difficulty expected. "I'm looking forward to it and I'll be trying to keep a fun element about it, even though we'll be deadly serious about trying to win."
