I'd have O'rourke instead of Henry, we might need his extra pace and bounce. Obviously if Southee wasn't the skipper i'd have Henry and O'rourke,
Actually I forgot about Ajaz,e would be the 4th spinner, think my team is
Conway
Latham
Williamson
Rachin
Mitchell
Blundell
Philips
Southee
Henry
Orourke
Ajaz
I would drop Santner for O'rourke, because we have 3 spinner plus 3 seamers.
We need to be aggressive imo, and hopefully bat first and Williamson cant get a ton

Because he comes from a big cricketing family in NZ so naturally will get a lot of attention from their fans , think Bracewell should draw inspiration from Mitchell Marsh. He got a lot of stick from the Aussies and then managed to silence his critics with clutch performances .
He actually is quite a good white ball player .

I would prefer to go with 2 full time spinning options at Galle and hence would go for santner over O'Rourke/Henry
Don't say this. Don't. Just don't. Not today.
Glenn Phillips (Black Caps): “We’re expecting it to play a little lower than Bangladesh or India would. We’ll get out there and bowl one ball at a time and adjust our plans from there”.
With this sort of insight, no doubt he can

Yeah, the forecast in Galle across the next 5 days isn't the best, and I see CricInfo are even saying "The weather, however, might be following the visitors over from Greater Noida in India, with rain expected across the first Test. "

The sides (from cricinfo):
Sri Lanka XI: Dimuth Karunaratne, Pathum Nissanka, Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva (capt), Kusal Mendis (wk), Ramesh Mendis, Prabath Jayasuriya, Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando
New Zealand XI: Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee (capt), Ajaz Patel, Will O'Rourke
SL sharing around the WK role, whilst NZ drop Henry for O'Rourke. Which is a move.
