New Zealand’s tour of Australia kicks off later today, with a mouth-watering day-night Test in Perth set to be an absolute cracker.

Both teams come into this series in reasonably good form, with the Kiwis looking superb on home soil against England, while Australia were able to put a hapless Pakistan to the sword in Tests at Brisbane and Adelaide.

There’s a been a lot of rumblings that this Black Caps XI may the very best ever to tour Australia – with former New Zealand international Brendon McCullum even saying so. Is he on the money?

We were joined by Roar cricket expert David Schout on the Game of Codes podcast to preview the Test at Perth, work out who the x-factor players for both sides are and make a call on how it will all go down.
