One bouncer allowed
NZPA-Reuter London New Zealand has agreed to England's suggestion to limit bouncers to one per over in the four test matches between the countries this summer.
The Test and County Cricket Board announced the agreement after its meeting at Lord’s in London. New Zealand is the only country since India to take up such a recommendation. Australia. West Indies and Pakistan have previously all rejected the idea. However, the New Zealanders, who will play four tests after the World Cup one-day series, have turned down a recommended minimum of 100 overs each day in the tests. They prefer the lower figure of 96 which was in operation against India and Pakistan last year.
