2-0 ?
Maybe Conway is fit? O'Rourke in some doubt I imagine... Sadly they won't bring Patel in, so Santner will play - he can at least tie up an end without being too threatening... If Kuggeleijn plays I don't think I'll watch - they should give Wags a last hurrah - if nothing else he'll bowl himself into the groundBesides The Yak our batting squadron scored a 3/10. New Zealand got a 1.5/10.
Australia: no changes.
New Zealand: surely they bring in a spinner. And I don't mean Mitch Santner.
Will be the 5th and 6th players to reach that mark. (Taylor, Vettori, Flemming, Lord Bazball).Kane & Southee's 100th test match.

Taylor @ 112 the highest, will fall to Williamson. Hard to believe Williamson has been around for 14 years.
I still don't get the lack of love for Ajaz, 7 wickets the other day, 10 wickets in a test innings, every time they say Santner is the best test spinner in the country I feel embarrassedhttps://www.newshub.co.nz/home/spor...8Wx5rbGjwRC20OAUipPd80FuAoTuogw-qD91_rxSP-J4w
Stead concedes the error. Weird, considering Phillips did the job capably in the end. But yes, another spinner would have been great ahead of Kuggeleijn. I'd like to see Santner and Sears in for Kuggelieijn and O'Rourke- the latter, ruled out by injury. Doubt that's enough to turn around.

another stress fracture in his back, so most of the year I thinkHow long is Kyle Jamieson out for ?
Journalists may as well not ask coaches questions these days because they will spin it into a positive no matter how bad it is.And I thought in the second innings, and this is really hard to sort of quantify, but I thought the intent, the energy he brought to the crease, and it was only two runs, I don’t want to get carried away with two runs, but that’s what we see when he’s at his best.”

Australian coach Andrew McDonald adamant there isn’t ‘any great concern’ with Marnus Labuschagne despite form slump

This is Rob Quiney territory from McDonald.
Marnus has made the greatest 2 in test history.
