A big no I would think, unless the pitch absolutely demands you play a second spinner, and even then Kane might be able to do the job. Did think Southee could have been considered for the group game at Lord's but Henry's thankfully put to rest any such ideas. Maybe Munro in as a late order finisher?.. naah. This XI will have to do it.Assuming New Zealand get through this... any changes for the final?
Watching a replay of the last half hour this morning, at the end of I think the 44th over, Ferguson bowled a short wide one which Dhoni left, and Ferguson just shrugged as if to say “Er you do know the RRR is over 10 right?”Yeah I think Dhoni's innings was a reasonably effort till the 43 over mark or so given the circumstances but after that he should have accelerated and tried to hit the occasional boundary at least. He was well set and having boundaries scored at both ends would have put huge pressure on the Kiwis. As it happened the pressure was on Jadeja and the rest is history.

I was fuming when Neesham dropped Pant, but luckily he isn't that good.Judging by the rest of this world cup, India would probably be 180/1 if Latham drops that first catch
Makes you wonder what their tournament would have been like if the chances Rohit offered were always taken
