Do or die for the kiwis here
yeah, think it has too - problem is Neesham >> than DdG and Broom with the bat, but his bowling can't be trusted - he warrants a place in the side due to his bat IMO. Ronchi's just Ronchi, guess there's a small chance he comes out and just kills it - but I am keen to move on to Phillips asap, guess that'll have to wait until after the Champions Trophy
Brownlie has done reasonably, the other option is to leave him out and open with Kane (who effectively has been opening anyway) - but there's a fair chance Brownlie and Guptill do a good job.
I suspect Dave will play, perhaps ahead of Sodhi?
yeah - really we have an all-rounder in Santner who can't be trusted with the bat (and why he's batting about Colin is beyond me) but has been great with the ball, and another (Neesham) who can't be trusted with the ball but has been pretty damn good with the bat... the third CDG has batted too low to know what he might do with the bat, and is only an effective bowler in limited conditionsDave?
I think we might see Fergusson.
I'd be open to Latham at 5, but that would only work if he is keeping or Neesham is bowling at least 7 overs. But that's made even harder by accomodating Santner and de Grandhomme.

really nice 50 from Guppy, but seriously, Smithy wants to make sweet sweet love to him, it's getting embarrassing (again)
