New Zealand assistant coach Luke Ronchi has saluted the toil of pace bowlers Jacob Duffy and Zak Foulkes across the first two cricket tests against the West Indies

Duffy's bowled 97 overs for 14 wickets and Foulkes has delivered 78 for four with the Black Caps 1-nil up heading to the series decider in Mt Maunganui, starting Thursday.

Ronchi says Blair Tickner's dislocated shoulder showcased the pair's stamina in their third caps.



Speculation continues that Kyle Jamieson might play at Bay Oval, given he's not included in the Canterbury squad facing Auckland at home in the Plunket Shield from today.
