Great bowling performance from CD, Milne was particularly impressive with his pace but theres really good variety in their all-round attack. With so many allrounders and Worker and Noema-Barnett able to bowl too they've plenty of options covered. As for ND, the arrival of their Blackcaps will certainly strengthen their squad, and it'll help to have two overseas players in their XI - have to wonder how they managed to sign four of them and have only one play in their first match, while CD signed two and have both ready to perform.

Hodge's timing throughout his innings was pretty average IMO - I know its being critical since he was the top scorer of the ND innings but he barely timed a ball in all fairness; the six off Rance an exception.

High 140's. He's got genuine pace anyway, something not to many bowlers have in this country. On a slow pitch like this to have fullish balls come through head height to the keeper is rather scary.
Boult looked rather sharp too, obviously not as quick as Milne but he looked quite comfortably our quickest bowler.

Probably just got off the plane.
From a spectator point of view I hope he fires against someone (that isn't CD).

Obviously the issue is whether Tait will actually play for Canterbury - no doubt if hes available he'll be in the XI but I'll bet that he doesn't appear in more than 4 matches throughout the tournament. I think Lee's a better bet to consistently appear once he arrives and I agree with your point regarding sheer pace and predict he'll be really effective for Wellington.

Tim Southee for Scott/Boult/Arnel too. Also given Watling batted so low this evening, do you think Vettori might open the innings when he returns from India given he was quite successful up the order last year?

Woops, forgot Southee.
Dunno tbh. Pretty sure Watling and Vettori opened last year, so maybe Hodge will drop to four and both will open with Gibbs at three?
Actually, I reckon if they had Gibbs available Vettori will bat down the order a bit.

Looked pretty quick too - and they said he was bowling up to 145km/h. Given Milne looked quick tonight plus Richard Sherlock's in the Canterbury squad for the HRV Cup and McClenaghan should appear at some point, its good to see a range of bowlers capable of bowling in the 140s in our domestic cricket.Andy Mathieson on the Cricket Company

mcclennagan will have to have speeded up a lot to hit 140k from the champions league.
