So will Niccolls still be in the team next test?
Options include:
Tom Bruce;
Colin Munro;
Watling as a batsman;
Latham to 5 and Worker opens.
All better options in my opinion and based on a NZC no Jesse policy. I like the Worker option the least despite thinking Latham would go better in the middle.
Watling at 5 as a batsmen is the first option IMO. Don't rate him hugely technically but he values his wicket much higher than most NZ batsmen in recent years, and has a very solid record to back him up.
Blundell looks to offer more with the bat than those other options against the red ball.
