@Davesofthunder I read somewhere that in UK you can watch via the NZ cricket you tube channel (but have not looked into this properly yet).

@scribe Could you use a VPN to trick the location.

There will be a delayed start to the 1st test as light rain has been falling all morning. Welcome to summer!

Fucks sake, play it in Wellington. Glorious sunshine and still here.

There isn't any reason the Black Caps shouldn't roll this team pretty comfortably. Their batsmen especially are just bog standard test cricketers ( very similar to what NZ have fielded in the dark days ). Even the "next Lara" Darren Bravo has a fairly ordinary record after a brilliant start.

Kemar Roach is pretty dangerous and Holder is the glue that holds them together but you'd imagine away from home, fuck all class players.......always dangerous to say as a NZ cricket fan but this should be a bit of a caning.

You know it's your fault now if it all goes tits up....

Covers were coming off 30 mins ago. Do they have a start time? How wet is the ground?

I'm happy to shoulder that burden.

Holder would need to do a Beefy circa 1981 for them to win.

( which is tecnhically possible, he's a fine player )

Even cricinfo are pretty slow on the updates, normally they're all over it.

[Snowy]

12:40 they have just said.

12: 10 for the toss (looks really green but we have have seen that come to nought in the past).

@Rapido

Excellent, thanks sir.

Just tried that on the tv and it is pretty good.

Bummer not to have full hd etc but amazing compared to nothing!

[Snowy]

Looks like they have delayed the toss - 12:32 they are saying now.

[Gunner]

Windies will bowl.

Early chance to see what Will Young can do...

[Gunner]

They're aiming for 85 overs this afternoon...

Bemusing to see cricket stuck in the dark ages and not allow the use the lights later to ensure they do get the overs bowled...

[Gunner]

Interesting that the original team that was listed on Cricinfo had Santner in the 11, but it's since changed and Mitchell is playing.

Tom Latham
Will Young
Kane Williamson
Ross Taylor
Henry Nicholls
Tom Blundell
Daryl Mitchell
Kyle Jamieson
Tim Southee
Neil Wagner
Trent Boult.
