Yeah he's a smart bowler I think, tough that he is so similar to Santner and only three years younger. Was a good quicker-ball to bowl Simelane.

Great performance by NZ A ..
Good series, both teams with very promising players for the future

A big match-winning century from Dale Phillips is not something I'd expected, will scroll through the boundaries. Like to see Abbas and Heaphy with a few runs too, leading into the four-day matches.
Would have been good for Heaphy to close out the match - we were ahead but don't think 39 from 30 was a dead cert with not much batting to come (Kelly injured). Anticlimactic. But a good series regardless.

Shame on you for ever doubting a Saffer import.

Dale Phillips did genuinely bat very well. Technique is a little homespun though less-so then Glenn, and doesn't have as much power (G Phillips clearly spends a lot of time at the gym building those big guns).
Horrible first over half-pull shot from Mariu. Meanwhile I thought Heaphy, as the other potential test opener, looked very tidy (except a couple of reverse sweeps).
It would be amazing for NZ if Abbas could be in the top 6-7 batsmen in the country in a few years. He looks the part, is reasonably attacking, and having his left arm seamers in a lineup that already contains Rachin and G Phillips' part timers would give a heap of options. Quite a way to go, focus for the home domestic summer is just to score a boatload of runs.

I think Lennox has been a noteworthy success so far at A level.
That is only 5 matches in so far. 6 wickets at 33.50.
The RPO of 4.20 is when NZ A have been going at an average of 6.05 in the matches he has played.
So, he's been doing the spinner middle over role properly.

NZ selectors will really struggle with the prospect of picking a LO spinner who offers a domestic white ball top score of 34 after 90 games though, I'd suspect. Just Auckland humidity has been seen wrecking the top half of current NZ white ball teams in home conditions for bugger all.
