New Zealand are undecided on their starting XI for the opening test of the three-match series with South Africa, starting tomorrow at University Oval. South Africa are bringing back veteran pace bowler Morne Morkel at the expense of the in-form Duanne Olivier. Captain Kane Williamson said the make-up of his side depended on what new groundsman Mike Davies produced with his maiden test wicket. "We want to get his [Davies] thoughts on some subtle differences that we might have experienced previously on this surface," Williamson said. "We'll have another look at the surface tomorrow before we make any outrageous comments about what we might do."
