    How have the New Zealand batsmen coped with the prospect of facing 2.01 metre West Indian captain Jason Holder on an emerald green pitch today in the opening cricket test at Hamilton?

    How have the New Zealand batsmen coped with the prospect of facing 2.01 metre West Indian captain Jason Holder on an emerald green pitch today in the opening cricket test at Hamilton?

    Will Young's set to open on debut today as the country's 280th test representative with Tom Blundell dropping down the order to take the gloves in B-J Watling's injured absence.

    Play starts at 11am.
