@Machpants I almost went there ... never gets old.
Anyway, the team is as Daryl Mitchell and Matt Henry coming in for TB and CDG.
I'd still have taken Lockie
Sames

England drop Leach for Chris Woakes, they now have 5 seamers. Strengthens their batting too. Pope will keep. This is his fifth first class game keeping wicket.
I probably would have preferred Ferg over Henry, but I get why Henry is preferred. Ferg has never lead a black caps attack and he's best eased in to test cricket as a 3/4 option. That said, Ferg is likely to be very effective in Aus.

England top order is interesting..

Kane better step up a bit, or he'll be carrying the drinks in Australia. We're too good to just be carrying people these days

Kumar is the sort of umpire DRS was made for.
Absolutely. I would love to see his getting it right/wrong ratio

Black Caps should be reasonably happy getting to 86/2 at lunch, after being put in and losing 2 early wickets.
Hopefully one or both of these two go on and make a big score.Kane's was a really nice piece of bowling.
Jeet, on the other hand, will be kicking himself. He started driving at the ball that over, and just gave up on occupying. Tell ya what, I'd take 50/1 at lunch over 82/2 any day. So frustrating.

I know many don't like him, but really neat interview with Ian Smith just on sky UK, was it on in NZ too?
Don’t understand why people wouldn’t like Smithy, he’s a brilliant, knowledgeable commentator. I always enjoy listening to him.

My favourite trio so far is Smithy, Bumble and Doull

Smith was in front of the camera before play with Doull and Atherton. As a former work colleague of mine would say, he has been grazing in a good paddock.

Smithy? Fat? Holy smokes I never would've guessed! Next you'll be saying it's rumoured Weepu has a thing for KFC
