The tour begins

The New Zealand team beat Namibia in two one-day matches over the weekend. The side was pushed hard in the first match, but won the second easily. Dan Vettori clearly had a bit of rust to shake as he went for 80 runs in the first match, but recovered to take 3-24 off 8 overs in the second. Shane Bond also bowled well in the second match while most of the top order were amongst the runs.
