As seems to be the trend, the Herald on Sunday is packed chokka full of cricket, while the Sunday Star-Times looks blankly around the sporting world ignoring everything which is not rugby or league.
Adam Parore kicks off the Herald's coverage with a plea to the New Zealand selectors to be more adventurous and select more new players while, ummm, not making the current crop nervous by dropping anyone. Hum.
We get a bit more sense from Mark Richardson who calls Australia's non-selection of Glenn McGrath arrogant and a move which has the potential to back-fire. Let's hope he is right.
Chris Cairns is the next in the Herald's impressive stable of ex-cricketers and he, showing his increasing maturity, discusses his thought process after being dropped and echoes Richardson in seeing exploitable arrogance in the selection of the Australian team.
Meanwhile, the Sunday Star-Times grudgingly gives us a story about the non-selection of McGrath and, at the same time, speculates that Dan Vettori might open the batting against Australia. Hmmmm. Just focus on your bowling Dan. Stick to what you are in the side for and let specialists do their job.
Our final article of the weekend looks at a predictably confident Craig McMillan.
