No Archer for the first test because he played the entire IPL :/

Good to see Stokes back after that nasty blow to the face. Didn’t realise it needed reconstructive surgery.

‘Latham grinned and said "they sure are" when asked if New Zealand's quicks were fully fit and available on Wednesday, and described having so many options with the ball as an "awesome" situation.
"You've got Henners [Henry] and Nathan Smith that are able to move the ball in the air or off the surface, and then you've got the height of Jamieson, O'Rourke, Tickner," Latham said. "We're certainly fortunate that we've had guys that do offer something slightly different than maybe what we've had in the past."
"The challenge in international sport [is] to have everyone available at one time," Latham said, recognising the demands of the schedule. "We know the demands that cricket has now, and the landscape of cricket: changing format to format, and different opportunities that present [themselves] to different guys, but to have them all available here for a really important series is awesome."
New Zealand have been forced to train inside due to rain in London this week, and Latham joked: "The nets haven't necessarily been that fun, but I'm looking forward to [the fast bowlers] running out tomorrow."’

What are the chances that all these fast bowlers are available come say, the mid point of the Australian series. Fingers crossed

Lotta showers forecast today and Saturday. Hope they can get some play in at least...

Watching the weather earlier and the showers looked very localised, they might get a pretty full day in, especially as it improves later and they could use the extra hour.

Monday looks dodgy too though. No idea whether it's bowl or bat first tbh, probably bowl.

First Test of the summer, nothing beats it, just hope we get okay weather. Feels like it's gonna be a washout, especially as the test goes on, but fingers crossed we get a game.
