Consistency in the batting is something the New Zealand cricket team has lacked in recent time and its something they'll need to show in the one-off test against Bangladesh which starts in Hamilton today.
The Black Caps dominated the recent one-day series.
The opportunity is there for the batsmen to shine, while there is some pressure on the bowlers after the loss of Shane Bond and Iain O'Brien in recent month.
Captain Daniel Vettori says they may take 2 spinners into the match.
Play starts at midday.
