Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson are hopping, lunging and fending. Never before in their Test careers have I seen this champion Kiwi pair look so unsettled. New Zealand might have climbed to second in the Test rankings but the challenge they’re facing now is an alien one.
He loves his ink and his Budgy Smugglers.
Marnus Labuschagne’s great form with the bat has carried over with the ball too on Day 3 of the opening Test in Perth.
A third successive ton from Marnus Labuschagne shielded Australia from a relentless bowling display by New Zealand, who showed great skill and heart in the oppressive heat in Perth yesterday.
New Zealand’s bowling stocks have taken a blow ahead of today’s day-night Test against Australia in Perth, with the visitors confirming pace bowler Trent Boult won’t play due to a side strain.
Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls and Colin de Grandhomme may be New Zealand’s fresh batting stars but veterans Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor remain the key to the Kiwis ending their Test drought in Australia.
The nation’s most infamous 22-yard grass strip again dominated headlines this week despite today’s much-anticipated start to the Test series against New Zealand.

Kane Williamson typifies the notion that nice guys can be great sportsmen.
Is his series already over?
Skull praising a leggie? Unheard of.
This could have been nasty if Aleem wasn’t paying attention!
Neil Wagner is simply terrifying.
In a lot of ways, Ashes series are like birthdays.
