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.

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.
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.

Sounds like we will battle to even draw the series
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.

what the actual fuck????
7 total tests between our front line 4 bowlers and we bowl first? at the Basin??
I would loooooove to hear the explanation behind that.

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

70th test match at the most beautiful ground in NZ today.

Quite cool looking through the list, we've gone from years and years between tests to having three in 2017 !
Basin is 8th on the list, up there with some iconic venues and the first that isn't in England or Australia.

Windies would be far happier at lunch than us even if they had won the toss and batted. Being sent in? ecstatic.
