Timing has been problem whole innings
Gupitl on one leg has brought out his best at least once before...

Fairly par score, maybe even less than par, hope we get early wickets.

Yeah it's very hard for me to picture a Hesson side ever playing Watling as a No. 7, realistically.
A midding score perhaps, but I think the emphasis is on the NZ middle order. Its a bit of an unknown quantity at this level, they could ace it, or fail completely. I personally feel if Kane and the openers (assuming Guptil is good) fire, then its Munroes game.

What are NZ fans honest opinion on McClenaghan? Being an Englishman I haven't really watched him a lot (except when he was at Worcs and vs Eng this summer) but everytime I check the scores his economy is always wayyy up there. He did absolutely nothing for Worcs during the spell he was here and tbh looked bang average when I watched him against England in the summer at Edgbaston.
A One day side? The watlling limited overs omission continues to puzzle me. Ronchi has the ptential to win a game one out of 10 times. Watling will contribute to many wins if the rest of the team stands up. Seems like watling is more in the advertised spirit of nz.

Nah it's a winning score in this pitch imo. Everyone bar Amla struggled to meet the ball. Even Rossouw. NZ have bowled well at the death though

I don't speak for all, but I like McClangahan. Does A good job as an aggressive, if wayward, bowler. Can go awry if we choose to build an attack about precision with the other swing/line bowlers.
Hes defiantly a good second string option and will get exensive wickets wiht unexpected bounce and pace off the wicket.

Nah, definitely not modern New Zealand. We're more into objective Moneyball analytics with our cricket these days. The Vettoris, the thoughtful and canny cricketers, are well and truly out of fashion.
