About 20 minutes away from the Bay Oval in Tauranga, the scene of the first Test between New Zealand and England, lives Trent Boult. A left-arm swing bowler with an experience of 78 Tests and 317 wickets in his kitty would have created enough jeopardy to keep any visiting side on guard, let alone one that last won a Test on these shores in 2008. But Boult, 33, is a T20 freelancer now and New Zealand have passed up the opportunity to call-up a bowler who turned his back on a central contract last year.

Matthew Short's scintillating century overshadowed Sam Heazlett's gritty ton as Victoria thumped Queensland by nine wickets at the MCG. Heazlett carried his bat through but following Fergus O'Neill's 4-22, Queensland were shot down for a lowly 202 in the 47th over.
