Unlike Smith though, Phillips will never have to make his evasive action more elaborate and theatrical to win a leg bye off an umpire, that's for sure.

Gee this is interesting. Even more frustrating that they don’t have Patel and have only just added Somers to the squad.
Wonder how all the sickos will pull up today? Would love to see Phillips debut. And crush it. Can he bowl spin?

Southee always looks tired. Even when he’s taking wickets he’s just so sleepy.
Explains his CBF attitude when batting.

these illnesses could be a blessing in disguise. After watching blundell one can't help but think there might be a bit of stagnation in the camp after years of (admittedly successful) conservative selection, some fresh blood is just what we need.

This test looks like a bit of a **** show already. Overshadowed by bushfires, NZ yet to score runs in the series and two best batsmen now ill. Wouldn't mind Phillips getting a debut of course. At least the extreme heat forecast for day 2 has reduced significantly.
Thought the main NZ talking point would be NZ's bowling attack, but that was before the illnesses hit. Most obvious and sensible attack would be Wagner, Southee, Henry, Somerville, CDG. Though you could throw Astle/Jamieson in there for novelty/interest factor, if not effectiveness.
Phillips for most wickets amongst NZ spinners for the series?

That’s the thing we’re just starting to see now. Very conservative selections due to comparatively good results against average to poor teams. Then we come up against a team that we struggle against who are in pretty good form, and we’re shown up. Expecting the same formula to work. Which is what happened at the World Cup, and we all but won the thing even though we looked shaky at times.

Phillips playing, Latham captain, Henry in, sounds like Astle in as well.

Cant wait for this NZ A match, great chance for the youngsters.
