Strengthened Southee eyes Bangladesh
Newstalk ZB - September 24, 2008, 3:13 pm
Pace bowler Tim Southee has stacked on muscle and developed strength as he looks to bear down on batsmen in his second cricket season with the Black Caps.
The New Zealand players are gradually reassembling as they get ready to leave for Bangladesh at the end of the month.
Southee has been busy at the gym in the break. The 19-year-old has has also been working the sheep on his family farm in Northland, including helping out with docking lambs.
The subcontinent is now familiar territory for Southee. In the past he has spent a fortnight in Chennai at the Dennis Lillee Academy as well as Sri Lanka for the under-19 World Cup in 2006.
Chris Martin is out of the one-day side for Bangladesh with a hamstring injury and Michael Mason replaces him.
Jacob Oram has suffered a minor calf strain which he is still playing on at this stage.
