New Zealander Tim Southee who suffered an injury in the 1st test against Australia says that he will make the call on whether or not he is fit to play.
Australia will be unchanged for the second test against New Zealand starting on Friday at the WACA with seamer Peter Siddle again left out of the side.
Skipper Steve Smith spoke about a new era of Australia cricket before the first test against New Zealand and his side completed a thumping 208-run victory.
Australia were held up by Brendon McCullum but dismissed New Zealand on the final day of the first test to win and take a 1-0 lead in the 3-match series.
