Harare Sports Club, Stumps Day 1: NZ 452/9

No one quite seems to have noticed but NZ are not only actually in Zimbabwe (eventually after all the complaining and everything that you expect a side like NZ to do) but they also started playing 'test' cricket today. And (shock , horror) they were actually in a little bit of trouble to begin with. At one point they had lost half their side for 100 odd runs after Zimbabwe had won the toss and decided to field first, but they recovered brilliantly in the end with 100s from McCullum and Vettori, and a 70 odd from Flemming as well. Shane Bond, returning to test cricket after more then 2 years is not out on 41, and might be the next tail end batsmen in line to boast a test half century. The last session produced over 200 runs just in case you're interested.

Must have been fun to watch, if any one did at all, and if any got it at all in the first place...who has the television rights for this?
