New Zealand unchanged

Second Test against Zimbabwe starts today

Afp, Bulawayo
New Zealand have retained the side which beat Zimbabwe by an innings and 294 in the first Test at Harare for the second and final Test which starts at the Queens Sports Club here on Monday.
The Kiwi captain Stephen Fleming said the aim was to achieve consistency for the long term and he noted there was a high expectation on the players to pull off another decisive victory.
"When we came here it was straight out of the New Zealand winter and there was a lot of tension" he said.
Fleming was referring to the intensive political and moral debate
about sending a team into Robert Mugabe territory.
"But we have to rid ourselves of any possibility of dangerous complacency after defeating Zimbabwe by such a margin.
"The team is not being changed because we need to built on the excellent and consistency achieved here so far. Our batting was not top order, but we have another chance here to show our skills."
Despite the wicket being expected to take spin in the later stages this means no place for Paul Wiseman.
Craig Cumming with Kyle Mills will also have to sit out once again. Wiseman returns home ahead of the one-day international series against India and Zimbabwe here.
The Zimbabwe team for the second Test has not yet been cho-
sen. Coach Phil Simmonds said this will be announced later. "I don't like players knowing too soon whether they are in or out," he said.
Simmonds said that all 14 in the squad were fit, which might mean a place for Andy Blignaut in place of Blessing Mahwire.
Asked whether he felt personally pressured over his job after the home side was dismissed twice on one day earlier in the week, he replied: "Zimbabwe Cricket have not said anything to me. The only pressure I feel is from the players."
The captain Tatenda Taibu said he had looked carefully at constructive criticism "and ignored the garbage."
The Queens Sports Club wicket should be on the slow side, favouring batsmen except in the early
