Surprise at Cooper Cronks omission from the Australian team has given way to New Zealands realisation they face an all-North Queensland halves threat in the Four Nations.Melbourne halfback Cronk was the notable omission from Saturdays second-round Test in Coventry, with world-class NRL playmaker Johnathan Thurston shifted in one spot.Michael Morgan is promoted to start at five-eighth, which initially caught the Kiwis management and senior players off guard.All had assumed Sharks No.6 James Maloney would be next cab off the rank following a bright display in Australias tournament-opening rout of Scotland.However, assistant coach Willie Poching admits Morgan - whose representative career has mostly comprised interchange appearances - is an instant threat because of his club combination with Thurston.While hes played a lot of his rep footy off the bench and been used in that utility role, hes a starter and hes Johnathan Thurstons partner week in-week out so theres some sense in that, Poching said.Whether its disruptive to them, Im not too sure. Im sure hell handle it, hes a quality player.Poching said most of the Kiwis preparation had been inward-looking as they strive for a performance vastly better than the 26-6 loss to the Kangaroos in Perth last month.Last weeks 17-16 win over England was a fillip for the players, whose commitment to the cause couldnt be faulted, Poching said.They needed to see some fruits for all the hard work theyve been putting in, he said.Poching added that the game plan would be similar to what they employed in Perth but the attitude and execution would be better.

We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check.Ahead of the second Test between India and England, Sky Sports cricket statistician Richard Isaacs shines the spotlight on new Test venue, Visakhapatnam... Following their excellent draw in Rajkot in the first Test, England head into another city of the unknown when the second Test gets underway in Visakhapatnam on the east coast of India on Thursday morning.The ground with one of the longest venue names in Test history - the Dr. Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy Andhra Cricket Association-Visakhapatnam District Cricket Association Stadium, Visakhapatnam - will not only host its first Test, but also play host to England for the first time too. Vizag, as it is more popularly known, will become the 24th new Test venue in India and the third in five weeks following Indore and Rajkots introductions against New Zealand and England respectively. Watch some of the best moments from the drawn first Test between India and England in Rajkot The city, surrounded to the north and west by the beautiful Eastern Ghats hills and buffered by the Indian Ocean easing into the Bay of Bengal to its east, is no stranger to international cricket though.From 1988 to 2001, the Indira Priyadarshini Stadium staged five one-day internationals, but was discontinued in favour of the ACA-VDCA Stadium in 2003, despite the capacity of the stadiums being roughly similar.The move has certainly worked in Indias favour, as they have played seven internationals at their new digs (six ODIs and one T20I) and won six of them, only going down to the West Indies by two wickets with three balls remaining in a 2013 ODI. India celebrate a T20 series win over Sri Lanka at Visakhapatnam earlier this year The ground moves its focus to Test cricket for the first time and it is fancied that the pitch is likely to take plenty of spin. However, there have been two Ranji Trophy Group B matches played on this ground since the start of October 2016 and the figures from those games definitely show something different.The first game, between Orissa and Vidarbha, ended in a tame draw, with just 696 runs scored in 282.2 overs of play over four days - a snails pace rate of 2.46 runs per over.

James Anderson bowls in the nets as he looks to return from injury for the second Test at Visakhapatnam But, it shouldnt be forgotten that, despite only Amit Mishra and Ishant Sharma having played in a first-class game on this ground back in 2011 for North Zone, India have played regularly in one-day internationals and thats where their record stands up.Especially Mishra, who has fond memories from his last appearance, ripping through New Zealands batting order with 5-18 in six overs in the ODI staged at the ground only a couple of weeks ago.His spin partners, Ravis Ashwin and Ravi Jadeja also have decent records, with four wickets in three games for Ashwin and three in two for Jadeja. Ashwins T20 record of 16 wickets in nine games at only 5.09 runs per over too shows he doesnt mind playing there. Might the move to Visakhapatnam result in a return to form for Ravichandran Ashwin (right)? And then there is Virat Kohli - who with four one-day international appearances at Vizag, has scored 399 runs, at an average of 99.75; innings of 118, 117, 99 and 65.So there is plenty for England to think about ahead of the second Test - they will go into the match with a slight psychological edge after the events in Rajkot, but it will count for little when the first ball is bowled on Thursday at this newest of Test venues.
