Bolult is injured and out of this test. Colin de Grandhomme is injured and out of this test. Young is still injured - having missed his debut match in Chch in March due to the shooting.

Mitchell will replace de Grandhomme, which seems a like for like replacement. There is no like replacement for Boult being a leftie that swings the ball at 140, but the selectors are going with 130km nibbler Henry (SERIOUSLY) over 150km+ Ferg debuting. Henry only offers new ball bowling - and the kooky doesnt not offer much for long. So its a peculiar decision by the selectors with an Aus tour comming up.

Raval has had Aus topur more lesss booked due to Will Young's injury, which is almost a shame for a NZC fan, but look for him to be desperat for runs. The runs from KW, Taylor, and Nicolls have been sparse for NZ of late, with CdG, Watling and Latham having done the bulk of NZ's scoring - so all of those aforementioned should be desperate for a century. 

I have to admit it, I don't like seeing the test team without CdG or Boult (but surely play Ferg over Boult?!).
