The Blackcaps' humbling 296-run defeat at the hands of Australia in Perth has created a raft of questions before Melbourne's Boxing Day test.
They're questions that, just a week ago, most cricket fans this side of the Tasman weren't asking.
What to do with out-of-form opener Jeet Raval? What is all-rounder Mitch Santner's role in this test side?
Where are specialist spinners Ajaz Patel or Will Sommerville? Who is our back-up opener?
A series that New Zealand public had anticipated with excitement now threatens to become an embarrassment, if this very good side can't solve a few glaring problems.
Newshub sports Andrew Gourdie and Brad Lewis dissect what went wrong in Perth, and discuss whether they can turn the tide in Melbourne and beyond.
