    The Black Caps aren't messing around with the fitness of Will O'Rourke

    The Black Caps aren't messing around with the fitness of Will O'Rourke


    Ruled out of the second test against Zimbabwe with a back injury, the giant fast bowler is on the first plane home.

    Black Caps bowling coach Jacob Oram says O'Rourke is a valuable asset...and they want him back in their attack.



    With Nathan Smith also ruled out of the second test starting in Bulawayo tomorrow night, New Zealand will be fielding at least one debutant.
