Tim McIntosh!
Was also Guptill's only saving grace for a while there (seemed to prefer 2nd or 3rd slip though). Tell Hamish Rutherford he too can be indispensable if he becomes a good slipper .
Tbh I can see why most captains like to field at first or perhaps second slip - just gives an all-round better perspective of how play is proceeding than other fielding positions. McCullum is below average in the slips but Taylor is also prone to lapses there.
