If he plays, he had better take wickets and/or bowl a lot of tight overs.
I'm not going to hold my breath, though.

If Gillespie was fit and firing, or even if someone like Butler or Milne was in the squad, I'd be all for leaving out Bruce Martin. I think he'd add more than Wagner though, even if it is the classic douchebag v turd sandwich comparison.

Not really, they're probably just looking to set up a decent target for their bowlers to have a go at tomorrow.

imo this problem all stems from Gillespie being such a lazy **** most of the time, so when he actually puts the effort in his stride is slightly larger and he cant adapt

this sounds like a good theory to me
commentators (in the rare occasions when they were actually on the radio) said he was struggling for rhythm all day
Kippax
Cricketer Of The Year
Kippax is going to go out on a limb to suggest 'the Queenstown match' becomes a televised fixture whenever England, India and Australia tours.
It's true New Zealand sport never pulls off classy without coming across as a chimp in a dinner jacket - lord knows we've embarrassed ourselves enough on Twitter in the past few days by not having the foresight to get Radio Sport geo-blocked - but Kippax forecasts this to fare much better than our other attempt to start a red ball tradition*.
India are touring in late summer next year as it happens, so NZC could be seen as on pretty solid ground to ask taxpayers to help televise it.
* The Boxing Day Test perished after four years due to both minnows hanging around looking doleful at us in consecutive summers and creating a crippling social stigma, at which point NZC flipped it for some coin.

Good to have one BEFORE the tests start. Kick up the arse they need.
