Its a bit of a good news, bad news kind of morning. It is good news that England lost at Lord's, but bad that Australia won. Likewise its good news that Gillespie is still out of form, but bad that Ricky Ponting is back in it.
In other news there were some distinctly average performances from the New Zealanders playing county cricket over the weekend. Craig Spearman made 29 and 47, Craig McMillan made 7 and 15, Scott Styris scored 15 and 3, Nathan Astle made 48 and 23 and Stephen Fleming rounded things off with a stylish 78. Andre Adam's Essex have just begun their match and he has yet to be called upon.
First-class averages of the New Zealanders at this stage of the season are as follows:
Andre Adams, 142 runs at 35.50 and 21 wickets at 29.85
Nathan Astle 273 runs 34.12 and 3 wickets at 39.00
Stephen Fleming 805 runs at 73.18
Craig McMillan 99 runs at 33.00
Craig Spearman 591 runs at 53.72
Scott Styris 334 runs at 27.83 and 19 wickets at 29.15
