Cricket: NZ vs Aus
-
Mitchell Santner has been ruled out with illness and is at the hotel. Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls have both missed training with illness in the lead up. They have had a net this morning but neither look well. A call will be made at the tossPhillips is going to debut. Sounds like 2 spinners with Astle and Sommerville.

9.40am Andrew McGlashan: "Santner has been ruled out, expecting Astle to play...looks like two spinners with Somerville" Gary Stead is now addressing the group as is Ross Taylor. Glenn Phillips has just been given his first Black Cap from Ross Taylor. He will debut.
Tom Latham is going to captain the team. He has just been handed his black blazer from Taylor! Williamson is out.

9.50am There is a report from the ground that New Zealand will make five changes. Todd Astle, Will Somerville, Glenn Phillips and Matt Henry come in for sure. Jeet Raval may also play. Looks like Williamson, Nicholls, Santner, Southee and Boult are out for sure.

@KiwiMurph said in Cricket: NZ vs Aus:
Oh no - how ever are we going to replace the production that Williamson, Nicholls and Santner have provided this series.....
that's actually a fair point. when we get pumped to the tune of 300 runs again, at least we have excuses this time.
