Russell Domingo couldn't look sheepish if he tried. Not that he did try as he sat down behind the microphones at Sodden Park on March 29, 2017. Apologies: that should read Seddon Park. Perhaps not.

The rain that had woken Kane Williamson at 4 am had continued to fall for several more hours: "I was sort of hoping that it might stop or it might come a little early and fine up."
