New Zealand A v England - 3 day First Class match 1991/2 - Match Preview

New Zealand A v England - 3 day First Class match 1991/2 - Dunedin

Pitch: 70

Day 1 Pitch: 7 - Uneven bounce - assists all bowlers

Weather: 2 - Hot and Sunny

England named a close to Test strength XI for their opening warmup game versus a competent but not overly talented New Zealand A side.
Interestingly England have played both genuine Fast bowlers, with genuine pace a weapon New Zealand seem to lack going into the series ahead.
It should be a good hitout for the England players, with conditions expected to be much the same for the Test series later in the tour..

B.R.Hartland
