    Yep, I'd go with Mitchell but I think they'll go with Philips.

    Saw something on the Cricinfo feed to the effect that Philips's back is no longer up to keeping other than as an emergency option

      They could bat Ravindra at 3.

        I would keep openers the same. Put Ravinder at 3. Bring in Daryl Mitchell to bat 6.

        Swap Wagner for Ajaz (or maybe Somerville)

          Big question of course is who will bat in the top 3?

          I'd imagine they'll promote Blundell to open and move Young to first drop - which might perhaps lean them towards Philips as someone who could take a stint with the wicketkeeping gloves to give Blundell a chance to freshen up near the end of an innings?

          I'd still pick Mitch Jr. and make Blundell tough it out.

          Latham could keep for a while if necessary.

            Someone needs to check the coins used for the toss in India.

              Yeah - one of them would have to run into the sheds and change one set of pads for another, though.

              Someone needs to punch Little Kane on the nose.

              If they make it hurt worse than his elbow, then he won't notice his sore elbow. In my experience you only notice the thing that hurts worst! 🙂

                    Actually Cricinfo has Wagner in the team list, so not sure what is going on.

                          Hmmmm. Cricinfo has the team as:

                          **New Zealand:** 1 Will Young, 2 Tom Latham (capt), 3 Daryl Mitchell, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Henry Nicholls, 6 Tom Blundell (wk), 7 Rachin Ravindra, 8 Kyle Jamieson, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Neil Wagner, 11 Ajaz Patel

                              Having lost the toss, Cricinfo better have the correct story and Wags playing!

                                    @nzzp An oldie but a goodie! 🙂

                                    But seriously, what proportion of tosses have we won in the past five years? We seem to be at the whim of the opposition captain far more often than dictating terms!

                                      Commentators saying India won all 5 tosses on the tour. That's a 1 in 32 chance if the coins are fair.

                                        Put me on record - bad decision!
