That'd be some record if it was Test matches!marc71178 said:
EDIT: And I'd guess it is looking at the amound of wickets taken by some bowlers. You don't take 3 wickets a game in ODIs.

Oh right.

Cheers. That's still a lot of games!
The OD series against the Windies was very embarrassing.
An 18 player squad was selected looking ahead to the upcoming World Cup.
There were several players who've shone at OD level on the domestic scene, but haven't yet stepped up at international level - opening batsman Richard Bucknall, middle order batsman Brendon Diamanti and keeper Colin Hampton.
This would be their chance to steal the limelight. Yeah right!
Excuse me while I find the nearest hole to crawl into!

1st Test - Zimbabwe in NZ 2010
Back to the drawing boards again!
There are no viable options to the batsmen we are currently using at test level, so it was again the bowling attack that came under the microscope!
James Franklin, Ian O'Brien and Matthew Walker all have test bowling averages in the 30's which is the best we've been able to manage! Therefore they got the nod.
Young spinner Andrew Aimson was 12th man with the pitch for the 1st Test expected to favour the pacemen.
The Zimbabwe lineup:
Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to make use of prime batting conditions.
Day One belonged to the visitors!

Zimbabwe in NZ 2010 - 1st Test (after Day Two)
An improved bowling performance on the second day saw us dismiss Zimbabwe for little more than 400.
Their pace bowlers had us on the ropes though with four quick wickets before Matthew Sinclair and Simon Treanor came together to steady things.

On icc2005 NZ are really under rated.After about 10 years of playing with them i havent even produced 1 Test class fast bowler and my batsman ave. stay in the mid 30's at best.Shane Bond is useless on the game so is Tuffy and Vettori.Teams like India and Bangladesh produce these great pace and spin bowlers and the top test and odi teams are all Asian teams while England,Australia.South Africa and NZ suck!..............I think i mite stop playing this game(with NZ enyway)because its to hard
