Looking at the weather and the overnight rain, I reckon we could be on for a later start but the conditions are going to be tough for SL. Lots of swing, pitch may have a bit of juice in it depending on how much wind was around last night to get the rain under the covers.

Wait.......what? "Rain under the covers"?? I think you've missed the point of having covers

Rain can be forced under the covers by wind, not like it hasn't happened before but like i said, depended on how much wind was around. I live in the Hutt where there was a bit but Adelaide Rd and Cambridge Terrace can be a bit of a wind tunnel

The groundsman would probably find himself out of a job if he let that happen during a test match. Trust me all measures are taken to keep the pitch dry and bar a tsunami it shouldn't happen. I've had some close calls in storms in wellington but the weather was pretty tame for that test in comparison
