How many changes for game 4?

Someone needs to open instead of Munro, and Neesham and Astle need to come back in. That's 3 definite changes I expect

Southee and/or Henry as well??

Henry deserves a chance. It's not as if he's being denied by the awesome form of the incumbents.

Henry had a chance, it was against SL. He choked massively.
He wasn't great, but he was coming off a long break. I think he deserves a chance to regain a bit of match fitness. Not sure he's totally out of the world cup conversation just yet.

Southee economy this summer 5.67 = ehhh
Henry 6.80 = spud

Really Bennett should be getting called up.

athlai reaching for summer economy rates to give southee's 4 years of bangladesh standard pace bowling the tiniest ounce of respectability is naked desperation.

His economy has been fine for years. No wickets but hasn’t been totally disgraced either. Henry got disgraced by Lanka.game losingly bad, in a series we dominated.

Rayudu was playing as if he has been put on notice. Now with Kohli gone, let's see if he is a man or a mouse.

It’s 39 over 4 years, and his economy is still better than Henry, Ferguson, McClenenen, Wheeler the only fulltime quicks that have been better are Boult and Milne. Maybe I value the filthy wickets McClenen and Henry get less than you? Southee has been poor for sure but his Test game is back and I reckon he’s a better option still than the also rans.

Aside from Bennett, who mysteriously doesn’t get selected.

I don't have the chance to watch any domestic cricket. If he's good enough, why isn't he being selected?
One thing I've seen mentioned is he's not the most agile fielder ... which is a joke when you consider the amount of catches we've put down this summer. And we've just recalled Santner who is about the worst in the country for dropping catches!

Wasn't that after barely playing for a couple of months? Henry's ODI average is 26.8 with an economy rate of 5.7. Two five wicket bags and five 4 wicket bags in 39 games since 2014. Southee's average is 34.8, economy rate of 5.41. Two 5 wicket bags and four 4 wicket bags from 138 games.

Southee is a shoe in for the WC, but I hope Henry gets some further opportunities.
