Whatever happens there will be shuffling. But again, to use that Aussie team as an example Justin Langer was shoehorned as an opener and did brilliantly because he couldn’t get in ahead of Ponting/Martyn etc.
I thought Nicholls would got to four but perhaps he stays at five and Conway goes there ?
Good issues to have.

Bugger…….but Young has shown it’s gonna be tough for Conway to walk straight back in. Given Latham has one spot and KW is a shoe in it’s gonna be really interesting how the selectors go.
89 in extremely tough circumstances is a really good effort.
Conway can bat anywhere. I wouldn't be opposed to him batting 5 or 6 even. Ponting started at 5 in his career - not for long - but that is where he started
Taylor or Nicholls are the ones who need to be looking over their shoulders.
I can’t see them dropping Taylor but SURELY this is his last season ?
As for Nicholls he’s been going good, still rated 10th in the world ( mind you the overrated Stokes is still 16th so make of that what you will ).
I hear ya. Conway is something special though. He has looked incredibly comfortable in his career thus far. Conway will not be willingly left out of a Black Caps team for a decade.
One of the first names on the sheet when fit

He’s not there yet. Somewhere in the middle at best.
I’d pick our class players with more experience first.

That's my prediction. Then to 3 when KW retires.
KW is only a year older so he might not get much time there !!

For me, in the batting department, it's Kane Latham and Conway

I strongly suspect I’ll agree with you in a year or two

Excellent ball by Yadav. Even with Kane’s very compact action, the inseamer got him.

I’m very old school. I remember in the days before the interweb it was pretty hard work to find a guys current batting/bowling average.
It’s all at the touch of a button now but it’s always cool to see it flash up on the screen, this just happened for Rossco and lets be honest, that is a very, very good batting record from one of our stalwarts. A shade under 46 is a quality player in any era. I really hope he ends his career with 20 odd test hundreds though !!!
Disclaimer: I hope I haven’t pulled a @canefan with this post.

Dreadful shot and an equally bad review by Nicholls. Shane Watson-esque.
harsh - he must have thought he got outside the line

Seeing it live I assumed he had to have edged it, otherwise he was toast.
