Second test previews

The Bulawayo pitch is dry and will suit the spinners, so Richard Boock thinks the selectors might aim to include Paul Wiseman in the team. The problem with this proposition is that it means one of the pace men will have to be left out - and after the first test performance who could you possibly drop? Cricinfo puts Richard's speculation about the team to rest by reporting that the same XI will play.

Boock's article also contains quotes from John Bracewell who discusses the New Zealanders past tendancy to cruise after a big win.

Our final preview comes from the NZPA who include quotes from Chris Martin and Hamish Marshall, who don't think Zimbabwe will roll over quite so easily this time.
