MELBOURNE: New Zealand received a boost on Monday with Trent Boult appearing to be back to full fitness from a rib injury as he bowled against his own team mates in a warm-up match ahead of the second test against Australia.
Boult turned out for a Victoria XI against his team mates, bowling 11 overs for 23 runs and snaring the wicket of opening batsman Tom Latham. "It's all going well, I feel like I've ticked the right boxes in terms of my rehab and preparations, and I'm looking forward to getting out there.Latham said his team mate was back to his old self, welcome news for New Zealand as they look to level the three-match series."He was his usual self in the nets the other day, bouncing around, which is a good sign. It's great to have the quality of Trent come back into the side.
The MCG pitch will be scrutinised heavily after a first-class game between Western Australia and Victoria was abandoned earlier this month because it was considered dangerous.
