Yea, I actually agree. I'm a massive Henry fan and I think should probably get the spot. I just have a feeling he's going to be hard done by

I would hazard a guess everyone would remain in their usual positions rather than bumping up one, so we may see the assassin at 3.

Mitchell did really well at 3 when he filled in there - much better than he's been at 4 actually - and I don't really trust Chapman's technique up that high.
Santner to bat 3 again?

So there's no point playing any of the non-World Cup players for the next two ODIs, right? Especially given hardly any of our 1st choice XI are going to Bangladesh.
So it should be Conway Young (insert non WC player here, probably Nicholls) Mitchell Latham Phillips Ravindra Santner Boult Henry Southee. Ferguson surely isn't in our best XI, Jamieson isn't going either.

Yeah agree with this.
Nicholls will probably be called up if Kane doesn't actually make it so it makes sense it'd be him. Allen the other option I guess but it makes more sense to give Young a proper run in the position he's actually going to bat.
Yep. And it makes sense to have a similar scoring player at 3 (in terms of run rate) rather than a slogger like Allen.
Having said what I said before, Ferguson does need another ODI in this series. Maybe on a bouncey Oval deck if it's provided

Yeah if Allen played he'd have to open and Young would have to bat 3. And I think it's good to get Young facing the brand new ball.
Ferguson should play another game, yeah. He's in the WC squad so that doesn't really contradict what you said. Maybe they'll move Rachin or Santner up to 3 for a game to play an extra bowler without messing with the order of the rest of the top 6.

Ide move Phillips to 3 for one game if KW isn't fit. Chapman can bat 6 and santner 7/rachin 7 santner 8 depending on how the selectors go. Phillips is the only guy on there who's made big list A runs at 3 domestically and can move without shifting everyone else. Ide also like to see Mitchell get some overs between now and the WC in England and bang. If he can give you even 4 overs and Kane is fit you should be able to sneak 10 between him, Phillips and Mitchell with rachin/neeshaw at 7 and santner at 8.

Why not Ravindra to the opening spot and Young at 3?
Ravindra
Conway
Young
Mitchell
Latham
Philips
Chapman/Neesham
Santner
3rd bowler
Southee
Boult
The batting line-up is deeper and the team also gets 6+ bowlers

Drop Ravindra once Kane is in at 3 and Young opens.

Ravindra is new and batting out of spot and probably will so for the remainder of the WC at least. Don't see them giving him a gig in his preferred spot for sometime and will continue to develop him as some kind of late order all rounder. I mean I think he should open but I don't see NZC giving him a chance if they want him to do a very specific role at 7 in the WC.

I want young facing the new ball and coming in as early as possible. Don't rate his game vs spin as much. I was thinking rachin at 3, but I want phillips up their for the ability to go and slam the pacers around in the PP early if they lose a quick wicket more than I want rachin up their.

I've been typing his name wrong for so long that I refuse to try and do it the right way at this point.
