View descriptionShare

On Sports Fix with Jason Pine for 9 December 2024, Will Young will play in the third test against England with Devon Conway released as he awaits the birth of his first child. But where should Will Young bat?

Former New Zealand test opener Bryan Young explains the specific nature of opening the batting in test cricket and whether we need to have specialists doing the job, rather than converted middle order batsmen.

Plus, Newstalk ZB sport journalist, Elijah Fa'afiu joins to discuss the selection strategy going in to the third test. Who should open the batting? Should Tim Southee play?

And after the incredible scenes at Go Media Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday we discuss Auckland FC. How have they got so good, so quick (on and off the field)?
