@Chris-B You make it sound like a lengthy tour. It's three games in a week, 3.5 hours away (add a couple of hours to Hobart I guess). Makes sense to have a balance in your 'spares', for sure, but one batsman covering five and five specialist steamers covering three spots is sensible. Sodhi providing cover for Santner though? Doesn't ring as true for mine.
I guess we'll see - but, I'm not convinced Sydney offers enough to the spinners to warrant us playing two of them.
Well, maybe if we're undone by spin in the first game.

Also, two physical observations of a player in each squad. South Africa's Klasen looks like a sightly buff Martin Guptill, looks like Guppy in the face under a cap and even moves a little Iike him in the field, while D'Arcy Short has fashioned his look into a kiddy fiddling Hitler, minus the moustache.

I think it's likely enough that we want to have both spinners on hand just in case we want to go that way on game day. I don't think we take two spinners unless we think there's a chance we'll want to play both of them.

That's how it looks to me, too.

Confirmed.
New Zealand's three-match one-day international series against Australia will be played behind closed doors, Cricket Australia (CA) announced. The Black Caps will now play two matches in an empty Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday and Sunday, with a third match against their trans- Ta$man rivals scheduled for next Friday in Hobart.
