The Black Caps have plenty of work to do if they want to claim the second test and series against Bangladesh...

The loss of openers Rutherford and Fulton in space of three deliveries was blow for the Black Caps at the end of the opening day of the second test.

Career-best figures for Neil Wagner and a clattering blow to Kane Williamson’s head provided high and low points for New Zealand on a rain-shortened second day.

Targets of 300 or more have been set in each of the three India-Australia ODIs to date - and they've twice been chased down, breaking records along the way.

New Zealand won't rule out a three-seamer attack for the second test against Bangladesh starting in Dhaka on Monday.

This is the summer of Kane Williamson. Well, I hope it is ... it needs to be, in fact I think it definitely is time.

New Zealand's tour of the subcontinent has so far provided more questions than answers in the search for a long-term spin bowling option.

Two-thirds of Peter Fulton's 15 tests over seven and a half years have been played on home turf.

Hat-trick bowler Clint McKay is confident a deflated Australian team will bounce back hard in the fifth and deciding one-day international against England tomorrow.

New Zealand's finest spinner has no doubt the newest arrival to the international game has the talent to succeed.

It may be cold comfort, but the New Zealand cricket team are far from alone when it comes to the difficulty of negotiating with Indian officials.
