@Virgil surely Phillips gets selected before Hairy Nipples.

Of course. Nicholls isn't even in the squad (last I knew, unless he's come in as cover for Conway's injury)

Southee fails in these 2 tests he might be looking at a Wagner retirement in the near future.
His wkt taking ability has fallen off a cliff,I can see Australia dinning out on the NZ attack,@Chris said in Black Caps v Australia:

Wagner, Nicholls and Southee are the ones that needed to go from the blackcaps test team at the start of the summer.
Only Southee left.
The young players that have come in after belatedly getting an opportunity (Phillips, Ravindra, O'Rourke) have done well.
I don't think Southee is in the top 2 NZ new-ball bowlers anymore.
I don't think there is another 10 year career guy waiting in the wings, like the other 3 already mentioned above, ready to replace Southee seamlessly. But there are players who should or could be given a go. Who should go alright in NZ conditions, as the minimum.
I can watch domestics and say, yeah I think this new ball bowler X is better than current Southee .... but what I can't easily form an opinion on is how good would they be in their 3rd spell of the day in Dhaka or Colombo etc

Yeah I agree.

Who becomes captain if Southee is not good enough to keep his spot?
The only question for the playing 11 is Santner vs Kuggelin.

Kylo Ren comes back from the wilderness.
But yeah. Sigh. Probably Scott K.
Or a young tyro, tall fast and not already picked. I don't know who that is after WOR

No way.
he shouldn’t be anywhere near a test team…..and thats just judging him on what he’s done on the field.

11.O'RourkeJettison Nicholls and I reckon that’s 100%.
MASSIVE chance for Young to make or break it. I’m a fan so hoping for the former.
Loads riding on KWs shoulders. Absolutely nothing new here.
Despite the massive ton vs SA I’m not convinced about Ravindra yet. Lots of our batsmen have started with a hiss and a roar and fizzled out.
Hoping Mitchell can continue the fine form.
Let’s see if Blundell remembers he can actually bat. High score of 17 not out in his last 10 innings.
Philips and Santner are still somewhat bits and pieces, let’s hope they add up.
That pace attack isn’t gonna scare oz too much overall.

Southee vs Aus. 37 in 22 innings. SR of 74.

….and that includes the period he was at his best.
