Jeet Raval scored some big 50-over runs vs West Indians ... which won't help him get an ODI spot. That's all good though because soon enough, four-day opportunities will be abundant all around the world.
Tim Seifert, Jesse Ryder and Ben Stokes blazed boundaries against some fairly average Super Smash T20 bowling.
The ICC’s quest to ‘fix’ Test cricket took a few turns this week, with the draft of the new future tours schedule being leaked out into the public as well as details being confirmed about the first four-day Test.

Mitchell McClenaghan and Brendan McCullum will play in BBL07, Daniel Vettori and Stephen Fleming are head coaches - what about the near future for kiwis in BBL?
Neil Broom and Jimmy Neesham got told by Lesson to go back to domestic cricket and dominate. Neither of them did and got vastly different outcomes.
Two games of WBBL action mid-week and Rachel Priest is heating up for Sydney Thunder.
Ross the Boss, aye? He just loves playing the West Indies. He had three digs in this one, getting trapped in front by Roach for 93 in the first Test but getting that famous 17th century soon enough with his 107not in the second innings at Hamilton.
We're hitting pause on Ford Trophy cricket after three games for Super Smash and that means a little journey around some funky Ford Trophy bowling notes.

Adam Milne took a few wickets in his first Ford Trophy game of the season for Central Districts, setting up a swash-bucklin' battle between him and Lockie Ferguson.
Shawn Hicks took Jimmy Neesham's #3 batting spot for Otago Volts and led the Volts to victory over Wellington Firebirds. Oh, and Neil Wagner's not Aotearoa's best Test bowler.
Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates will team up together for Adelaide Strikers, Amy Satterthwaite's linking up with Lea Tahuhu for Melbourne Renegades and we've got a few more kiwi cricketers sprinkled throughout WBBL03.
Maddy Green and Holly Huddleston have been dominating the Women's One-Day Competition, unfortunately we hit pause after two rounds which is a bit downbuzz.
It’s still an illogical fact about Neil Wagner’s international career that he’s never played an ODI or T20 for the Blackcaps. His international resume consists entirely of his efforts with the red ball - and effort definitely feels like an appropriate word.
Hamish Rutherford and Rob Nicol were too slick for Canterbury, after wrapping up two very different Plunket Shield campaigns. Plus a cheeky squiz and which batsman could break out during the Ford Trophy.
Ish Sodhi and Todd Astle have been re-united with their leg-spinning nemesis Tarun Nethula in the Ford Trophy, meaning we've got the full gang of kiwi spinnerz on deck.
The Ford Trophy is underway and before going any further, let's set the scene with how the teams lined up and which players were injected into limited-overs cricket.
