We should be picking a pure batsman to replace Anderson at 6, given we already have 4 bowlers plus Williamson's part time spin. However our reserve batsmen are Ronchi and the spare opener. Yuck. Tbh Ronchi probably deserves the chance though I'm not a believer and he's injured anyway. Anyway, score one for messing up our balance by picking a useless third opener in the squad. I would be slightly more enthused if Brownlie or Guptill were there (though let's not get too excited). Neesham seems a pretty big risk but **** it.

Tis a bit of a shame that that solidly built chap playing for Essex has had a couple of problems after a quiet drink or two over the years

Fulton, Latham, Williamson, Taylor, McCullum, Neesham, Watling, Sodhi, Southee, Craig, Boult is the XI

Hopefully not the batting order. Swap Watling and Neesham around and move Craig up a bit. Hopefully none of those I've mentioned will be batting before lunch!

The Windies have gone with the two spinners as well, NZs selection looks pretty good now that they're batting first

Evening fellas. Good toss to win & happy with the final XI.

Score sweepstake when the first wicket falls.

13/1 for me.

Is DRS being used in this series? Could be a huge factor if the spinners are as important as everyone thinks they will be.
