Story Rise of the Kiwis

[Jaztheman]

New Zealand 'A' are smashing West Indies, so they should be easy pickings for the New Zealand team. Ian Butler was terrific with the ball and performances like this could see him progress to the proper NZ team. Fulton also seems in good touch.

Great presentation, Shan.

Franklin and Butler included in Test Squad

9th January, 2009.

New Zealand selectors have made sweeping changes to the squad that lost to Australia 2-0. Apart from fast bowler Chris Martin and batsman Aaron Redmond, those who have been dropped for the two-match series against West Indies include Tim Southee, Jamie How, Mark Gillespie and Grant Elliot.

The allrounders James Franklin, Ian Butler have been recalled ater both recovering from career threatening knee injury, while Peter Fulton who scored the a great half century against West Indies in the three day warm up game - which only lasted one day as the rest of the two days were abandoned due to heavy rains - has also earned a place in teh 12-man squad. Jacob Oram who missed the Australian series due to injury.

Glenn Turner, head of New Zealand's selection panel, said the selectors felt Martin - who managed six wickets in Australia - would benefit from more cricket at the domestic level while rebuilding his fitness after injury. He also said that Franklin and Butler were included for their impressive form on their return to domestic cricket. Franklin made his first-class comeback last month for Wellington, scoring an half century and taking four wickets and he has already scored over 400 runs including a double century. While Butler picked five wickets in the recent warm-up game against the Windies.

McIntosh, 29 has impressive throughout the summer scoring over 400 runs for Auckland at an average over 65. He replaces Redmond, who failed in Australia scoring just 115 runs at 28.75, at the top of the order. Jeetan Patel has been retained as the second specialist spin bowler.

The first Test in Dunedin begins on January 11, with the second in Napier starting on January 19.

New Zealand squad: Daniel Vettori(capt), Daniel Flynn, Ross Taylor, Jesse Ryder, Peter Fulton, Jacob Oram, Ian Butler, James Franklin, Tim McIntosh, Jeetan Patel, Brendon McCullum, Ian O'Brien.​

Southee called in as a cover for Oram
Cricinfo Staff
10th January 2008

Tim Southee has been called into the New Zealand squad as cover for Jacob Oram after the allrounder suffered a slight calf strain on the eve of the first Test against West Indies. Oram was able to complete New Zealand's training session and a team spokesman said he was 95% certain of starting the match in Dunedin on Thursday.

Oram's wobbly body has had to recover from a back injury and a fractured finger before the latest setback. He missed the Australia tour but proved his fitness for the West Indies series in a couple of first-class fixtures for Central Districts. "He had that layoff and then he had two big state games and then he's just feeling a bit tender after that heavy workload," the spokesman told NZPA.

Southee, the fast bowler, will join the squad as a precaution but will be let go before the toss if Oram is cleared. Oram is due to enter at No. 6 and is seen as an answer to the side's batting problems, which prevented them from competing with Australia over the past month.

 

[Roofrom50]

I don't think the Kiwi's really need Southee in the side, but good luck to him if he gets a run in dispense off Oram

 

[Jaztheman]

Oram is a quality player but Southee isn't too bad a player himself. He'll need to take this chance by its horns however, as Oram isn't gonna be out for ever. He needs to get into immense form and quickly.

Good writing, Shan.

Chanderpaul leads the Windies
Cricinfo Staff
11th January 2008

West Indies 261 for 6 (Chanderpaul 65*, Ramdin 50) v New Zealand

A typical battling effort from Shivnarine Chanderpaul and a surprisingly polished performance from Denesh Ramdin were the highlights of the opening day as West Indies finished on a respectable 261 for 6 at the University Oval. Chanderpaul battled through more than two sessions to remain unbeaten on a dogged 65, but the more surprising performance came from Ramdin, the wicketkeeper, who stroked a spunky 50.

West Indies went into the Test at the University Oval in Dunedin fearing the worst - their batting line-up was, apart from Chanderpaul, Gayle and Sarwan, severely lacking in ability and experience, the bowling line-up had no world-class spinner, and they were playing an opposition known for their dominance on home territory. By the end of the first day, though, they had done to ensure that the match wouldn't quite be a three-day, one-sided romp for the Kiwis.

The West Indian side had one debutant in their line-up, and he failed to rise to the occassion. While Xavier Marshall the young opener - he was trapped in front by James Franklin early in the piece - but Ramnaresh Sarwan and Ramdin showed enough stomach for a fight as experience and youth battled hard to counter the Kiwis.

Daniel Vettori wasn't too displeased at losing the toss, hoping that the cloud cover would give his seamers enough to smile about. After taking an early wicket, there was little joy for Franklin as Sarwan and Chris Gayle steadied the innings with a 58-run stand. Both were troubled early on, especially by Ian O'Brien's bowling and the bounce he got, but the rest of the bowlers were rather easier to handle -Franklin and Ian Butler, were steady but didn't always threaten, Daniel Vettori and Jeetan Patel got little assistance from the first-day track.

The partnership held sway for much of the morning session before New Zealand fought back - Butler got his comeback Test wicket, pinning Gayle on the back foot and winning an lbw appeal from Simon Taufel, while Sarwan was bowled attempting an ambitious drive.

Things got even better for New Zealand immediately after lunch, as O'Brien struck twice in his first three balls. Before lunch, he had been guilty of pitching it far too often in his own half of the wicket; when he altered his length, the rewards came swiftly, Brendon Nash wafted at one outside off and was snaffled by the wicketkeeper, while Sewnarine Chattergoon, after smashing a four first ball, played all around his front pad and was palpably in front.

At 113 for 5, the West Indian innings was in serious danger of coming unstuck in a hurry. Ramdin, however, scotched all such fears with a breezy and fluent effort. The start was slightly iffy, but he soon gained in confidence, and the strokes began to flow - the full-length balls were driven through cover or flicked to midwicket quite fluently, while the spinners were tackled with excellent footwork. He brought up his half-century with a glorious cover-drive off Butler, but then fell soon after, dragging one back onto his stumps. In the 69-run stand for the sixth wicket, Chanderpaul's contribution was only 19.

There, again, was another opportunity for New Zealand to wrap up the innings, but Chanderpaul found an able ally in Sulieman Benn. The two frustrated the bowlers for 30 overs after tea, and when play was called off early due to bad light, were still together, having added an invaluable 79 more for the seventh wicket.

Chanderpaul was typically circumspect early on, but gradually opened up to play some brilliant strokes, including a six over long-on off Patel. His technique wouldn't please the purists, but neither pace nor spin could breach his defences. Benn displayed excellent temperament as well, playing 96 deliveries for his 30.

As usual, New Zealand relied heavily on Vettori - he bowled 29 overs, 15 more than the next in the list, Patel - but had only one wicket to show for his effort, thanks to a first-day pitch and some dogged defence. West Indies would be reasonably pleased with their effort on the first day, but on an excellent batting pitch, New Zealand would be fancying their chances of running up a really huge total. Chanderpaul's job isn't quite done yet.

Franklin leads the Kiwis
Cricinfo Staff
12th January 2008

West Indies 275 (Chanderpaul 65, Ramdin 50, O'Brien 4-65) and 17 for 3 lead New Zealand 217 (Franklin 49, Edwards 4-55) by 75 runs

On a day dominated by the bowlers, West Indies had the upper hand for much of the first two sessions, but the Kiwis, spearheaded by the irrepressible James Franklin, fought back magnificently after tea to edge ahead after the second day at the University Oval in Dunedin. Restricted to just 275 in their first innings, thanks to New Zealand's effort with the second new ball, the West Indian fast bowlers hit back with a vengeance, dismissing the home team for just 217. But the onerous task of having to bat again under fading light against a marauding Franklin proved too much for West Indies' batsmen, and they struggled to 17 for 3, only 75 in front, before bad light mercifully ended their misery on a day in which as many as 17 wickets fell.

The dominant player for New Zealand throughout the day was Franklin. He began West Indies' first-innings slide early in the morning, propped up the New Zealand innings with an invaluable 49 - in the process ensuring that New Zealand's last three wickets added 114 - and then returned to strike twice late in the evening to reduce West Indies to a shambles. In between, though, the West Indians had much the better of the exchanges.

Bowling was always West Indies' stronger suit in this game, and so it proved when Chris Gayle led his team out in the field about 40 minutes into the morning session. A depleted West Indian side dominated the game, the Kiwis quickly found that the match wasn't quite the walk in the park many had expected it to be. All the New Zealand batsmen struggled to cope with the pace, bounce and movement extracted by the West Indian pace trio, especially Fidel Edwards, who consistently clocked around 145kmph in his first spell.

The slide started early, when tim McIntosh jammed at a well-directed yorker from Taylor, but only managed to inside-edge the ball onto leg stump. Peter Fulton popped a catch to short leg, Ross Taylor was all at sea before edging one to the slips, while Daniel Flynn, after mounting a brief counterattack, became Denesh Ramdin's first victim of the match (47 for 4).

A 34-run stand between Jesse Ryder and Brendon McCullum hinted at a fightback, but Benn struck for a second time, and when McCullum and Ian Butler fell to rank irresponsible shots, they had slid to 103 for 7, and West Indies' total of 285 seemed a monumental one.

Franklin then got to work, goading the lower order to stay with him and add vital runs. He started circumspectly, allowing Daniel Vettori to do the bulk of the scoring in a 36-run eighth-wicket stand. When Vettori was dismissed, West Indies could have been forgiven for thinking the end was near. Franklin had other ideas. With Patel, he set about bringing a semblance of respectability to the total. Patel started his innings in his usual carefree manner, but was soon playing some studied defensive strokes as Franklin coaxed runs out of him. Franklin himself played a splendidly calculated innings, striking the big hits when the fielders were in, and then settling for the ones and twos when the field was spread out. The 66-run stand reduced the deficit significantly, and it ensured that the New Zealanders were in high spirits when they took the field.

West Indies, having lost the initiative somewhat, threw it away completely in the last 30 minutes as Xavier Marshall, completely inept against the swinging ball, and Sarwan, both fell to Franklin's inswingers. And when Chris Gayle was caught at silly point off Patel, West Indies' day had turned from promising to pear-shaped.

Earlier, Franklin sparked West Indies' collapse in the morning too, trapping Shivnarine Chanderpaul lbw before he could add to his overnight 65. Removing the tail was a mere formality for Franklin and Ian O'Brien, who finished with well-deserved figures of 4 for 65. At that point, the stage was set for a New Zealand run-fest. As it transpired, a further 13 wickets fell before the day was done.

Franklin shines on truncated day
Cricinfo Staff
13th January 2008

West Indies 275 and 59 for 6 (Chanderpaul 29*, Benn 0*) lead New Zealand 217 by 117 runs

New Zealand enjoyed the best of a day truncated by rain and bad light thanks to some fine swing bowling from James Franklin. After the whole of the morning session was lost because of heavy overnight rain, Franklin produced a fine spell of controlled swing bowling to leave West Indies in complete disarray. West Indies' inexperienced batsmen had no answer to the accuracy and guile of Franklin, and quickly slumped to 21 for 5, before recovering marginally to end the day on 59 for 6. Only 25.3 overs were possible on a day when 42 runs were scored and three wickets lost.

Overcast conditions and a light breeze blowing across the University Oval set the stage for Franklin, the marksman, to do his thing. Brendon Nash was the first to be trapped - he was perfectly set up by two deliveries just wide of the stumps that left him - padding up to a straight one that would have crashed into the off stump (21 for 4).

Sewnarine Chattergoon, who only lasted two balls in the first innings, managed to last a ball more than an over in the second dig. Once again Franklin seemed to have Chattergoon's number as he walked out to bat and a peach of a delivery - curling in, pitching on the stumps and straightening - left the batsman dead in the water (21 for 5).

Franklin's controlled aggression was well backed up by Jeetan Patel who, though not at his best, kept things tight at his end. West Indies' batsmen had no answer to either bowler. The runs completely dried up - a mere 16 runs were added in 18.4 overs - and Shivnarine Chanderpaul's solid defence kept the team afloat. After a little less than 90 minutes of play West Indies caught a lucky break when bad light brought a halt to proceedings.

The respite, however, proved to be temporary. Denesh Ramdin, who batted so well in the first innings, was in the process of stringing together a meaningful partnership with Chanderpaul when he played back to a sharply turning offbreak from Patel and was struck on the pad. He was playing a stroke, and the ball hit just outside the line, so could consider himself unlucky to be given out lbw for 11. By this stage Chanderpaul (29 not out) had realised the futility of simply hanging around, and pushed for quick runs, even launching Jesse Ryder for a straight six. But it might be a case of too little too late, as West Indies' second innings 59 for 6 has only pushed the overall lead to 117. With two days still to go, it will take a lot of rain to take them to safety.

How they were out

Brendon Nash lbw b Franklin 7 (21 for 4)
Padded up to a straight one heading for middle-and-off.

Sewnarine Chattergoon lbw b Franklin 0 (21 for 5)
Fell across and was trapped plumb in front by an indipper.

Denesh Ramdin lbw b Patel 11 (48 for 6)
Unlucky lbw decision - struck outside the line playing a shot off the back foot.​

 

[age of the fall]

About time we saw a NZ ICC story, and this one is absolute class.

NZ is in a pretty solid place right now, Franklin is on fire! Get Chanders early and the game is yours me thinks.

Patel guides Kiwis to victory
Cricinfo Staff
14th January 2008

New Zealand 217 and 172 for 4 (Ryder 51, Edwards 4-43) beat West Indies 275 and 113 (Chanderpaul 48*, Patel 6-36) by 6 wickets

West Indies' team performed with far more verve than had been expected from them, but in the end New Zealand's experience and ability prevailed as they sealed a six-wicket win in the first Test at the University Oval in Dunedin to go 1-0 up in the two-Test series. After Jeetan Patel's 6 for 36 restricted the West Indians to a paltry 113, New Zealand briefly wobbled in their quest of 172, being reduced to 49 for 3, but an 86-run stand between Ross Taylor and Jesse Ryder (51) ensured against a shock defeat.

Though West Indies were beaten, they were hardly disgraced. The faliure of some of their top-order batsmen will be a worry for the second Test, but there were enough encouraging signs too: Darren Powell showed determination with the bat, scoring 27 and frustrating New Zealand for long periods in the fourth morning with Shivnarine Chanderpaul; Fidel Edwards bowled with fire, pace and heart throughout the Test, regularly clocking around 145 kmph and taking all four wickets to fall in the New Zealand second innings, while Denesh Ramdin was flawless behind the stumps, bringing off an outstanding catch down the leg side and generally showing superb footwork and concentration.

New Zealand started their run-chase late in the morning and there was nothing in the five overs before lunch to suggest that they would struggle to reach the total, but two balls in the third over after the break changed the situation dramatically: first Peter Fulton slashed a catch to backward point off Edwards, then Daniel Flynn sparred at his first ball and was superbly snaffled in the slips. Thirty four without loss suddenly became 34 for 2, and a wobbly scenario turned positively worrisome when Tim McIntosh was magnificently held down the leg side by Ramdin. McIntosh had been lucky to get away with a faint tickle down leg just before lunch, but Ramdin got his due the second time around as he moved smartly, dived, and then was completely balanced as he got to the ball with both hands.

West Indies were back in the game, but then Taylor and Ryder, who had both been dismissed through irresponsible strokes in the first innings, wrested back the initiative. They were helped in ample measure by the West Indian bowlers, who sent down generous helpings of half-volleys and full-tosses around leg stump. Both batsmen tucked into those offerings with relish, and the constant flurry of fours also ensured that there was little pressure on New Zealand. When they weren't hammering the boundaries, Taylor and Ryder were expertly placing the ball in the gaps and rotating the strike. Ryder, especially, changed gears after a circumspect start, smashing a slew of fours down the ground in the last half hour before tea. By the time Edwards finally trapped him lbw just after tea, Ryder had already done enough to ensure that victory was only a formality.

West Indies were badly let down by Jerome Taylor, who failed to get the rhythm which had made him such a force in the first innings. And when Gayle turned to his only specialist spinner, there was little succour, as Suliemann Benn strayed on both sides of the wicket and bowled plenty of full-tosses. The fielders still showed plenty of desperation, but there was little support from the bowlers.

Benn might do well to take a few tips on spin bowling from Vettori, who led Kiwis to a fine victory. In the West Indian first innings, Patel had played the support act to the pace bowlers, but this morning he got fizz and plenty of turn on his offbreaks, and then mixed it up quite superbly with the wrong one. Chanderpaul kept him at bay quite competently, but his lack of initiative when batting with the tail meant that he was left high and dry on 48.

With the sun out and conditions not quite as favourable for swing bowling as they were on the third day, Vettori turned to Patel instead of himself after seven overs, and he needed just two deliveries to strike, as he drew Benn forward and induced a bat-pad chance which Jesse Ryder shaffled at short leg (69 for 7). Patel then made it two in two as Taylor popped the next ball straight to silly point.

Chanderpaul had only added two to his overnight 29 at that stage, and with the lead a trifling 127, it wouldn't have been unreasonable to expect him to try and take charge. However, quite inexplicably, Chanderpaul made no effort to up the pace or farm the strike, often taking a single off the first or second ball of the over and exposing Powell to a marauding Patel.

Powell struggled initially, looking every bit a No. 10 batsman. However, he slowly grew in confidence, and even began reading Patel's wrong one with confidence. And soon after getting past his previous-highest Test score, Powell produced a sparkling straight-drive off O'Brien. It was too good to last, though, and next over, Powell charged down the track to Patel, missed, and was easily stumped. The 44-run partnership did frustrate the New Zealanders, though, and it should earn Powell a promotion up the batting order for the next Test.

Patel wrapped up the innings five balls later, leaving New Zealand with a target they would have backed themselves to achieve with a fair degree of comfort. They struggled for a while, but finally made it to the finish line with enough to spare.

[age of the fall]

Tim McIntosh c Ramdin b Edwards 28 (49 for 3)
Outstanding diving catch down the leg side as Atapattu tickled a flick

:what

Great win there, After Patel cleaned up the tail easily you were never going to lose, although Edwards did put up some fight. Lets make it 2-0
