Interesting selection of AK keeper Reece Young, Tuffey and Bond back too

Wow Jimmy. Dont see your name anywhere. pwned. quit bowling so many 4-balls maybe?

Bond not available for test cricket?



gc.

He was on the news this evening. Said he wants to work towards the longer form of the game, but didn't think he was up to it yet as he's been out of international cricket for some time.

I think he's playing with the A squad, then coming into the ODIs for NZ.

Ah yep. Fair enough- I figured as much with his dodgy body.

yeh agree, he's 34, i reckon if he plays tests well get maybe 2 more years out of him, and 4 if he sticks to the short form. Hope Tuffey keeps his current run of form going, bowled well for Ak this year.

Didn't he retire from test cricket before he was lost to the Black Caps anyway?

Was concentrating on ODI until next world cup?

cant recall that being the case, he's always said test cricket is his ultimate goal?
