Looking to the Champions Trophy, who's our starting side based on these games? I'm tempted to open with Ravindra and Conway. Drop the out of form Latham and move Young down to four. Conway can keep. Or move Conway down to four so we open with a right hand / left hand combination.
We should go with the below.
- Conway (WK)
- Ravindra
- Williamson
- Young
- Mitchell
- Phillips
- Bracewell
- Santner
- Henry
- Sears
- O'Rourke
As honking as Conway taking the gloves is, I'd argue squeezing Young in at 4 and shifting Mitchell down is worse.
That guys is cricket's answer to David Havili. A solid player, able to fill many roles, but ultimately one who goes missing when the heat really comes on.
Across 31 Test Innings against AUS/SA/IND/ENG he has 3 scores above 60
Across 9 ODI Innings against AUS/SA/IND/ENG he has a high score of 33Dave is a lot more successful at cricket than rugby, who knew!
What’s the Rugby equivalent of 200 on debut ? Did Havilli manage that ?
Can we get some other equally ridiculous sporting comparisons while we’re at it ?

1 Devon Conway, 2 Will Young, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Tom Latham (wk), 6 Glenn Phillips, 7 Michael Bracewell, 8 Mitchell Santner (capt), 9 Jacob Duffy, 10 Nathan Smith, 11 Will O'Rourke
No Henry, no Sears - not desperate to win this one - though, I'm far from convinced Henry, Sears, O'Rourke is our best ODI pace trio. Henry definitely is.

@Chris-B Ben Sears has been ruled out of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.
He is replaced in the Champions Trophy squad by Jacob Duffy. -
@Daffy-Jaffy Aha - hadn't heard that, but actually, I'm not too disappointed.
I'm inclined to think Duffy is a better option at present.

Is Latham's funk over? Great bowling figures from Santner.
It would be just like NZ to lose the game to Pakistan that really matters.
One top game does not indicate a trend
indicates Latham stood up and helped get us home.Good to see him get some runs under pressure.
Experience counts sometimes. -

Experience counts sometimes.Don't get me wrong, it's great to see the likes of Tom and Devon in the runs. We need them firing if we have a chance to win the trophy

Experience counts sometimes.Wasn't Latham let off twice by Pakistan? I'd settle down on the pressure of a meaningless warm up 'final'
