Leading FC wicket-taker Ian Butler to replace Milne probs. If not, 'he showed promise in the A tour one-dayers' Wagner.

He did all right.
8 wickets @ 40. Bar one spell he was rubbish.

I'd definitely pick Martin ahead of Wagner in the hypothetical event that we play 4 seamers. Would do a good job of keeping it tight while Boult/Southee caused havoc at the other end.
Except he'd be next to useless as he wouldn't see the new ball. Wagner's rubbish but at least he can hold a bat.

That's not a terrible record considering SA chased a paltry total in one match and declared for not much in another.

I'd have him the same way they've picked Bruce Martin - one wouldn't want him as the third pace bowler, but if Southee or Boult gets injured he's a good backup new ball bowler.

I would have picked Gillespie ahead of Wagner though.

South Africa set to include a few youngsters in the Limited Overs series against NZ, including the young sensation Quinton de Kock.

It's very hard to get into the SA squad. He must have been scoring big lately.
He'll be coming up against a NZ team with a huge gaping hole in the middle of their lineup without Taylor. It'll be interesting to see if the NZ bowlers can polish him off.
