Bay Oval saw plenty of showers during the opening week of New Zealand's summer of cricket, beginning with three T20s in spring against Australia.
With the start of Friday's 2nd T20 delayed due to the rainy conditions, Sport Nation's Ian Smith and Daniel McHardy got thinking: what would the Blackcaps T20 World Cup squad look like if they were picking now?
Tim Robinson had already impressed with the bat in the opening match of the Chappell-Hadlee series, scoring 106 off 66 balls, and looks to be playing his way into selection for February's tournament - but there are many more question marks around the make up of the squad, not to mention whether Kane Williamson would be available.
Who’s in, who’s close and who needs to do more according to Smithy?
