I think what we can all appreciate about Trent is that despite the above, he's still such a grounded and humble man with a winning smile. I don't think he'd be above giving the Australian bowlers a few tips or, for a small donation to charity, signing an autograph or two. We all have our crosses to bear and Trent may struggle at times with being both handsome and ridiculously talented, however he should know that the NZ fans here at cricket web can always provide a sympathetic ear and lend support, having borne the same burdens ourselves, .

The argument for Southee over a few of these guys is that Henry and Boult are more or less first 35 overs bowlers and less trusted at the death. Southee is still our go to death bowler. It's a difficult call though on current balance, Henry has been great and Boult is sorta looking like his self a year ago. Ideally Southee would be taking one of those two spots because Milne provides some variety in the 3rd seamer role and Southee/Henry/Boult are new ball bowlers. You could probably do something like open the bowling with Boult/Southee and take Boult (or Southee if Boult is on fire) off after 3 overs, bringing him back on at the other end when Southee finishes up his spell. With two new balls it might be effective.
I wouldn't know what my full strength XI would be atm.
Without too much thought I'd say
Guptill
McCullum
Williamson
Taylor
Nicholls (Elliott)
Watling (+)
Anderson
Santa
Southee
Henry
Boult
When McCullum goes, having Latham take that spot or #3 and Williamson open makes a lot of sense too. Could give him the gloves and keep Elliott or an allrounder in the mix as well.
