New Zealand manager dries Kyle Jamieson's cricket gear using fan on ceiling in Mumbai, pic goes viral

New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson is currently plying his trade in the second Test against India at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In the opening day’s play, he couldn’t pick up a wicket as left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel did most of the work on a turning track at the iconic venue.

In the meantime, Jamieson faced an issue on the morning of the second day’s play regarding laundry. Manager Mike Sandle was seen helping him by trying to dry an equipment using the fan. The official Twitter handle of the Black Caps shared the picture on the social media platform.

In the first Test at the Green Park in Kanpur, Jamieson became the fastest bowler in the country to accomplish the 50-wicket milestone in Test cricket. The speedster only took nine Tests to reach the accomplishment. He bagged the feat after he rattled Shubman Gill’s woodwork on the third day of the first Test, thereby breaking Shane Bond’s feat.

Thereafter, he conjured praises from Simon Doull, the former New Zealand fast bowler. While hoping for the pacer to have a long Test career, Doull said that Jamieson has filled in the missing piece of the Black Caps’ pace attack.

Simon Doull lauds Kyle Jamieson

“Incredible for Kyle. He has burst on the scene. I guess when you start in such incredible fashion, it’s hard to continue down that road but he just has. He has played Test matches against some really good sides like England and India quite a few times, Pakistan, West Indies.

“He just continues to do the job. For me, it is an incredible start to a career which hopefully, from a New Zealand point of view, goes for a long time,” Doull was quoted as saying in a video by New Zealand cricket (NZC) on Sunday.

“I think what he’s done is that he has added a great element to what was already a very, very good New Zealand bowling attack. Maybe it was a slight piece missing from the Southee-Boult-Wagner combination.

“I know Colin de Grandhomme did a great job. But Kyle creates bounce, unsettles batsmen, hits them on the gloves… (and) he’s got the swing as well to go with it,” he added.
