Good indications for those (like Woodcock, I think) who were playing Hazlett last year though.

Can see why Ryder would score runs against this Auckland attack - lots of 130km/h medium pace that relies on accuracy and just a little swing or nibble off the seam to get wickets. Breakfast for Jesse.
I've seen a small amount of Mathieson and I think Howsie has it right - the bloke would be terrifying when he gets it right. It's not just the similar looking pace to Milne, it's the bounce.

He's proper quick, 140+ most of the time I'd say. He was clocked at 150 last season while in Australia with a New Zealand academy squad.

Edit: Plus he's about 6'6 so as Flem said it's the bounce he gets to.

this.

he looked good though. May have just been working on greater accuracy as the others are saying differently.

Haven't heard anything, but considering that in last weeks match he bowled only 8 overs in the first innings and none in the second, I think it's safe to assume he's injured.

Any news on Wheeler's absence?

Wellington have an even more h4x team for this match.

Apparently he strained his hamstring during the T20 last friday, so hopefully he shouldn't be out for too long.

Side injury, next couple of months not looking all that likely.

Cachopa continues on his merry way. We would be so screwed without him this season.

Mitch M ruining the fun. Fun fact: his newfound success comes down to broccoli and a ban on bread.

I told you guys he was nuts.

stevenz to point him in the direction of this thread again

****, Ronchi is scoring some runs.

Why are Wellington playing Boam if they're going to bat him behind Woakes? Surely Houghton makes a lot more sense.

I love how no one outside Wellington wants Ronchi to succeed.
