Apparently the wicket is a bit of a green top with forecast rain today. Good toss to win and bowl.

can you address the nation's capital with the respect it deserves please?

can't answer, have woken up in Auckland and I'm feeling homesick already...

I love test cricket....love our best team ever too!

@booboo I'm currently in Aus and test cricket starting at 8:30am is a luxury, as is watching Kane .

Same team? Do we need a spinner?

Toddy

Absolute sh*t day here today. Can't see them getting any cricket played.

Siam

@Toddy great news! I've got a long weekend coming up 😁

This is the Black Caps, we always play a spinner. Always.

It’s like when you go out for a trip with the family, do you pack raincoats or jackets for everyone?
You know if you bring them it will take up space and you won’t need them.
Leave them at home and it’s guaranteed to piss down..

What's the weather doing down there today chaps?

I'd still back us to win a 4 day test against these guys, 3 or 3 & 1/2 days might be getting a bit tight.

Siam

@Gunner Looks pretty shitty for the whole test. I'm blaming @MN5 (don't know why, but it seems the right thing to do πŸ˜‰)

@Gunner light rain out in porirua, expect it's similar in town. No wind to move anything on either. Stink!

Gunner

@Siam well bugger the bloody weather!!!

Drop a pitch in the middle of Forsyth Barr, they could all be there to start the afternoon session on time...
Sure the boundaries might be a tad on the short side, but it's better than nothing right?

Crazy Horse

What do we expect when we play cricket in the middle of rugby season?

Siam

@Crazy-Horse I can recollect as a boy, 40 plus years ago, hearing my father and other men bemoaning March weather to being too late for test cricket πŸ™‚

MN5

Grey as fuck and still spitting but definitely clearing.

I genuinely back this BC team to beat the Bangles even with this time lost...

At least with the toss delayed the follow on mark is reduced so if we can bat first and score decent runs we could have a chance. The Boult and Southee should have the ball hooping in these conditions.
