Virat Kohli must now be considered perhaps the best ODI batsman going around.

Last night scored his 12th ODI hundred in his 86th match, has maintained an average over 51, in fact his last five ODI knocks, in reverse order:
106 (113), 183 (148), 66 (82), 108 (120) and 133* (86). Only the 66 was against a minnow, three of those tons against Sri Lanka.

Gun!

and another one.

Daniel Vettori has been ruled out of New Zealand's Test tour of India due to a groin injury he suffered in the West Indies, while the batsman Dean Brownlie has been dropped after a disappointing Caribbean tour. The offspinner Jeetan Patel has earned a recall as a result of his outstanding county form for Warwickshire, and the allrounder James Franklin has also been named in a 15-man squad.

Squad Martin Guptill, Daniel Flynn, Brendon McCullum, Ross Taylor (capt), Kane Williamson, BJ Watling, James Franklin, Kruger van Wyk, Doug Bracewell, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult, Tarun Nethula, Jeetan Patel, Chris Martin.

Waste of time test India v NZ

- No Vettori and a MASSIVE spin friendly pitch (Ojha and Ashwin have 5/65 after Day 2..even Jeetan Patel took 4/100 of 41 overs)
- NZ will never be a decent test team with James Franklin batting at 6(has played 27 tests and averages 21...FC ave only 35)

JEC Franklin 31* off 75 balls, NZ 5-106

The promoters of the first professional US Twenty20 league will begin the tender process for the six inaugural franchises later this month. The league - staged by Cricket Holdings America, a joint venture headed by the USA Cricket Association and New Zealand Cricket - is likely to be held in June and July 2013 with reports suggesting the matches will be played in New York and San Francisco.
In order to avoid clashing with the international cricket calendar, the USA Twenty20 league would most likely get underway after the conclusion of the ICC Champions Trophy, which runs from June 6-23 in England. The 2013 Ashes Series follows, which means that top international stars from Australia and England would be unavailable but players from other countries might be tempted by the prospect of coming to play in America.
