New Zealand A opened it's tour of India with a one wicket win over Tamil Nadu Cricket Association XI.

New Zealand Cricket - New Zealand A v TNCA, August 9 - 10

Highlights for NZ A were Neil Broom's century, Nathan McCullum's five wicket bag. Kane Williamson picked up three wickets and Jamie How and Aaron Redmond both made quickish 40's.

We didn't see Shane Bond in this match.

 

[SciD]

Who are these TN players? :laugh

 

[CG123]

interesting match format with 2 days and 1 innings per day
Broom and McCullum looked like they had a good game
also a very long batting line up by nz with McCullum at 9, Mills at 10 and Diamanti at 11

When's Bond due to play?

 

[Howsie]

When's Bond due to play?

Anytime I assume. This team was suppose to be fairly weak though.

 

[Howsie]

New Zealand A will be backing themselves later today to defend a total of 280 after day one of their second tour match in India.

The New Zealanders won the toss and elected to bat first against a Tamil Nadu Cricket Association XI in Chepauk, Chennai.

Almost all the batsmen got off to good starts and spent valuable time in the middle, but with wickets falling steadily through the day the New Zealanders never fully dominated the local bowling attack, on a used, turning wicket.

Jamie How top scored with 44, with Neil Broom, 40, BJ Watling, 38, and Kane Williamson, 31, the other main contributors.

Shane Bond isn't playing in this match either, he's sick.

At least it's a step up from injured. How in the runs again...hmmmmm.

 

[sohum]

I think that was probably a TNCA Second XI. Can't recognize any of those players.

New Zealand Cricket - New Zealand A v TNCA, August 13 - 14

Solid win, TNCA were 168-9 at one point but a 60 odd run partnership got them to 240.

Nathan McCullum and Tarun Nethula were the pick of the bowlers both taking three wickets.

The victory gives New Zealand A two wins from its two warm-up matches in Chennai. The team plays the opening match in the Buchi Babu All India Invitation Tournament on Sunday and Monda

So is this a big tournament in India?

 

[Chewie]

Did Arnel get injured?

 

[SciD]

I think that was probably a TNCA Second XI. Can't recognize any of those players.

Third XI I think. I would know some players from second XI.

 

[Howsie]

Third XI I think. I would know some players from second XI.

None of them have played FC cricket I think. Didn't do too badly though.
