*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2022

Contrast to Southee, who as the commentators pointed out earlier, has never really done it against Australia.

No I still haven't got over that Ferguson was left out.
Could understand if they went Southee over Henry even if that would've been harsh. He'll probably have to content with a ball that doesn't swing now, time to put that experience to good use.

Pfft. Australia will still score 320.

Kane will score 50 off 120 balls to “lay a platform” before the lower order hits some quick runs. We lose by 50 runs and everyone moves on.

I'm willing to give Marnus a bit more leeway. There should be no reason he can't be a decent top-order ODI bat. Not saying he should be allowed to fail forever but it's not like he's been consistently useless forever like Finch & Stoinis.

Khawaja could be one of the best ODI bats in the world, and IIRC he just about was when he was given that brief run a couple years ago. Bizarre that he doesn't seem to even be on the radar

was very surprised when I just checked, he averages 42 but hasn't played an ODI since 2019.

It's very weird. He's so far off the radar that I didn't even think of him until you mentioned it. But he should absolutely be there in the squad at least. Finch, Stoinis, Marnus at the very least should be behind him in the pecking order.

Marnus has a bit of a Rizwan situation going on. He's not been great in ODIs so far but there's clearly a top batsman in there.
