You can't really argue with Bond's record.... and he's the one clear matchwinning bowler involved in this game. One of the others MIGHT have a great game.... but Bond can be EXPECTED to have a great game!
Code:
(6 ball overs) Mat O R W BB1 BB2 Ave Econ SR 4w 5w
overall 59 504.4 2203 112 6/19 6/23 19.66 4.36 27.0 6 4
If Bond is mastered then the game should be pretty even... though a case of quality against quantity in the batting: taking NZ wickets shouldn't be tough.. but when the top order ends at 10.... there's not a lot of tail!
This does look like an excellent opportunity for Joyce, Vaughan and Bell to try and play as if it's a Test match: merely surviving Bond should be counted a success!!!!
