Update 2
A very challenging 2 days of doubles
on long oil faced all bowlers at the
World Championships. Unlike the medium
oil where two 300 games were bowled
on the first days of competition bowlers
found the conditions difficult to deal
with, the scores reflecting this.
A lot of disheartened bowlers went back
to their respective accommodation heads
down and confused after bowling the
doubles.
The highlight of the New Zealand team
was Craig and Sonny's doubles combination,
starting off slow but coming back strong
in the last three games, Craig finding
the line and bowling a 672 for the last
3, significantly higher than a lot of
other world class bowlers.
Next up the trios, the first 3 games
on medium oil then the remaining 3 games
on long.
Sonny, Greg and Craig will be first
up on Tues at 10.45pm (local time),
followed by Tim,Terry and Tony on Wed
at 2.30am, (local time).
The following day, Sonny, Greg and Craig
will bowl on Wed at 7pm, (local time)
and Tim, Terry and Tony will bowl 10.45pm
on wed night, (local time).
