Humble guy Saini!
Navdeep Saini in PC: Got to bat after a long time. Was shocked when I hit the boundaries... thought “wow am batting well today” (Smiles a wide toothy grin) #NZvInd

I'm still wondering whether it's within the laws for a coach to act as a substitute fielder? Case in point is at Eden Park in Auckland where fielding coach Luke Ronchi has come on as a substitute fielder. Do the rules permit that? @bhogleharsha @rickeyrecricket
The sickness has been a real pain!
