You can expect the elder statesman of New Zealand's seam bowling unit to bring a bit more zip in the second test against the West Indies in Jamaica on Friday.
Chris Martin greased up his 37-year-old pins last weekend in New Zealand's three-day tour match against the West Indies Cricket Board President's XI as he got through 21 wicket-less overs.
It was the first time he had played a competitive game since March - New Zealand's final test of the home summer against South Africa was his most recent outing - so there would have been a fair bit of ring rust in the evergreen seamer.
He went in to the ongoing first test against the West Indies with 226 wickets, or "poles" as he so often calls them, from 68 tests after he made his debut against South Africa in late 2000.
The Christchurch-born right-armer picked up two wickets in as many balls on day three of New Zealand's test against the West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua this morning (sat) as he breathed life in to the visitors' bowling effort.
