The battle for "best slip catcher" amongst the Black Caps' dogs is getting serious.

After Steady The Ship shared a video of his pup "Sandy" taking a sharp grab a viral trend began of Kiwis in home-isolation doing the same with their dogs.

Now Neil Wagner and his pup "Blake" have stepped into the ring and he even got his new born baby involved...
