    Have we witnessed a rubber-and-leather glove cricketing revolution in the New Zealand test wicket-keeping ranks?

    Have we witnessed a rubber-and-leather glove cricketing revolution in the New Zealand test wicket-keeping ranks?


    Debutant Mitch Hay looked to the manor born on the opening day of the second match against the West Indies in Wellington.

    The hosts are 24 without loss in reply to the visitors' 205.

    Hay conceded two byes from a steepling Jacob Duffy bouncer, but helped fellow rookie Michael Rae remove Justin Greaves caught behind.

    25-year-old Hay is filling in after 35-year-old Tom Blundell suffered a hamstring tear in Christchurch.
