Same demographics as our blackcaps. We had an all over 30s side about a year ago. Probably a few matches now with that makeup.
Edit. Actually I'm not surprised these 2 teams have aged together. I remember back in the 2011 test series between these 2 teams and being very excited at the upcoming decade for the blackcaps. Then looking at the Aussie team (who were debuting Warner, Starc, Hazelwood, Pattinson) and going, "ah goddammit!".

I think our pace lineup is just that crucial bit order and more beaten up than theirs.

@KiwiMurph Hit his arm. They took a long time looking at that and nothing clearly suggested glove.

It clearly showed it hit him on the wrist conected to the glove. Out.

@KiwiMurph Wrist should be not out.

It's part of the glove though, right?

It is. You might not like the rule but it's out.

@KiwiMurph Bottom line, it was given out.
But 1. no clear evidence that it was the band. 2. The third umpire took about five minutes to make that decision.
If there is that much doubt, the benefit of the doubt should be given to the batsman and the onfield umpire.
But hey, the video official is king these days

The third umpire took about 5 minutes because it essentially decided the test. We'll have to agree to disagree. To me there was ample evidence to be given out.
