Cricket: Black Caps ready for pink ball
New Zealand will arrive in Adelaide today in good shape for the historic first day-night pink ball test starting on Friday. In coach Mike Hesson's book, there was plenty to take out of New Zealand's two-day fixture against a West Australian XI at the Waca, which ended in a draw. Opener Martin Guptill's 103 was the star turn. He struck the ball impressively, faced only 109 deliveries hitting 12 fours and four sixes in an innings loaded with clean striking.
