Match State: Day 1 start at 10.00am AEST (0000 GMT)
Welcome to our coverage of the first Test of this two Test series
between Australia and New Zealand.
...
Australia finalised their side yesterday, Brett Lee being the
unlucky bowler and given the drinks duties.
Which is good news for Michael Kasprowicz who will play in front of
his home crowd for the fourth time in his Test career.
The unlucky batsman from Australia's successful tour of India was
Simon Katich, who learned last week of his omission.
That has allowed Darren Lehmann to return to the number five
batting spot.
And of course 23-year old Michael Clarke retains his place to play
his first Test on home soil, following a most impressive debut
series in India.
...
New Zealand also released their side yesterday evening.
New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming, fellow batsman Nathan Astle
and orthodox spinner Daniel Vettori all came into this Test under
fitness and injury clouds.
Thankfully for New Zealand, the experienced trio have all been
declared fit to play.
They have had one selection hiccup however with left-arm seamer
James Franklin coming down with a groin strain.
The beneficiary of this is right-arm pacer Kyle Mills who comes in
for just his second Test.
Mills is one of four in this New Zealand side playing his first
Test on Australia soil.
The other three are wicket-keeper Brendon McCullum as well as all-
rounders Scott Styris and Jacob Oram.
It's that Australian experience which has earned talented batsman
Craig McMillan a recall.
McMillan was only a late inclusion in this squad, but he's come
into the side at the expense of Hamish Marshall
Marshall has been given the 12th man duties.
...

Zealand will bat first
