Harris and Arnel await news on debuts Updated - 18/3/2010 - cricinfo.com.
Ryan Harris and Brent Arnel couldn’t have wished for better conditions to begin their Test careers than the green-top at the Basin Reserve, where both men have a strong chance of making their debuts on Friday. Harris will become the 413th Australian Test cricketer, provided he has no problems recovering from a minor side injury, while the grassy surface has pushed Arnel in to strong contention to bump the spinner Jeetan Patel out of New Zealand’s line-up. Pace and bounce have been the features of warm-up sessions in Wellington and Ricky Ponting said facing up on the practice pitches was "like we were batting at the WACA", compared to the slower one-day surfaces used recently. That will encourage Harris, whose excellent ODI form over the past two months - 28 wickets at 14.14 in 11 games - has pushed him ahead of Clint McKay in the Test reckoning. "He is a guy who can genuinely swing the ball at brisk pace," Ponting said. "You are always looking for someone who can use the new ball really well. We unearthed a couple last year who could do that in Ben Hilfenhaus and Dougie Bollinger.
