    Interesting decision to bowl first after the way the Christchurch test ended.

    Jeepers, almost run out in the first half hour of a test !

    That's pretty unforgivable for a guy batting so well. Sharp fielding. Never a run there, lucky he turned so quick.

    35/0 from the first 7 overs.

    Bowling has been poor, give the ball to Tickner and Rae while it’s still new, see what they can do.

    Absolutely pop gun so far.

    Not sure Tickner or Rae will offer anything more than this though.

    To think I thought Henry, Jamieson and O'Rourke would have a crack at these guys !

    Our shit catching continues as Latham drops a tough chance low down diving to his right at 2nd slip.

    Harsh.

    That was a VERY tough chance.

    But still in the books as a dropped catch unfortunately.

    Michael Rae having his first bowl.

    Shades of Chris Martin with that headband over the Daryl Mitchell haircut.

    Unfortunately not much of a first over to write home about. Hopefully just nerves.

    four and six is certainly not ideal. He looked rattled after those.

    Tickner will have a bowl at the other end. Double change.

    Yea maybe harsh, and I did say it was a tough chance. But it does continue the theme of us dropping catches.

    Based on the first hour, we could be out there fielding for a couple of days.

    Our 3-5 batting line up is as good as any in the game but losing three quicks of the quality Henry, Jamieson and O'Rourke is potentially devastating.

    The attack is looking as fierce as a kitten so far.

    After bowling for the best part of two days, as recently as Saturday.

    Captain Tom Latham strikes again.

    Surely captain and coach talked about what to do if we won the toss? Not like it's a brain explosion or anything

    Just switched on and lo and behold I thought I was seeing things. Fancy Chris Martin being recalled from retirement to fill in for some of the medium pace bowling injuries. Puts glasses on and find out it is someone called Michael Rae.
