Santner and Jamieson out.
The world has gone mad, I genuinely feel for Santner missing out !
Also would love KJ to get another run before the Oz series.
This really smacks of complacency to me.
From Southee...
Tim Southee, NZ captain, says they were looking to have a bowl. Hope there's a bit of assistance early on. Three changes: Daryl is out, Will Young comes in. Four seamers. Neil Wagner is in for Mitch Santner. Kyle Jamieson pulled up sore, so Will O'Rourke come in on debut. We know Wagner wears his heart on his sleeve and will give his 100%. So looking forward to that, excited to see what Will, an exciting young quick, has got.

Seddon Park. Last I knew, has the wicket block divided in half with 2 seperate types of clay used in the 2 halves. One half favours spin, probably the most in the country. But they pretty much never used that side for the internationals.
But pitches get relayed every few years. Don't know if this is still the state of the pitch, anyway. Even if so, irrelevant for the test, as they don't use it. But judging the pitch based on televised Super Smash games can be misleading for this reason.

Here's the Phillips catch:
Fuck that was good.
Terrific seeing Henry finally doing consistently well too especially with Boult gone and Southee and Wagner surely a bit uncertain as to how long they’ll go on.
