Dec 1 (Reuters) - New Zealand will be looking to extend their dominance over the West Indies and get their World Test Championship campaign off to a flying start when they host the Caribbean islanders in the series opener starting at Hagley Oval on Tuesday.

The Black Caps, who beat the tourists 3-1 in Twenty20series and swept their one-day series 3-0 in November, will be confident of similar dominance in this month's three tests in Christchurch, Wellington and Tauranga.
