So has anyone commented on just how ridiculous this NZ XI is? Setting aside playing 3 specialist bowlers and having Santner batting at 9, Rachin at 3? I mean don't get me wrong, if he's playing that's where he should be batting. But Stead has spent the entire year mucking about with him at 7 or 8 in the order, before deciding to trial him at number 3 for the first time at the biggest event in the cricketing calendar.

The guy has no ****ing clue how to develop and promote talent. He's been coasting on the greatness of a handful of senior players and a couple of happy surprises.
This. Gary stead is an absolute spud. So is ronchi and especially jurgensen. Living off the talented players we have who keep performing in spite of them. Also riding the coattails of mccullum/hesson, bond and mcmillan. I've never seen the nz side as "gary steads new zealand" from 2018 onwards. I've always seen it as kane williamsons new zealand team.

Conway
Rachin
Williamson
Mitchell
Latham
Phillips
Macewell
Santner
Sodhi (in Asia) Ferg/Southee (everywhere else)
Henry
Boult

I think it's the last hurrah for a very long time for NZ cricket as potentially #1s, by the next world cup we will probably see the likes of Boult/Southee/Williamson/Conway go and its unlikely we will be able to replace them.

Some will doubtless hang around until their mid 30s, but the only ones you could rely on still being in the XI in four years are probably:

Rachin
