Should be a great series . I'm really looking forward to it. C'mon Dan Vettori.....

Nice to see Graeme Smith given the captiancy for the test, his adventuros field settings are exactly what's needed to beat the Aussies. It's incredible to think he is still just 24 years old.

By the way i understand the main reason these players were selected was due to recent form against Australia, if that's the case then where is Laxman and Harbijan Singh. Dissapointed not to see Sangakarra in the test side either.

Should be some great cricket though, does anyone know if SkySports are showing it?
