Craig McMillan has been named New Zealand's batting coach :

for the upcoming tour of the West Indies......

Trent Boult , Neil Wagner ( Left arm ) , Tim Southee and Corey Anderson ( IPL currently)

will find it difficult on the slow , dull Caribbean tracks !

Their  " swing  and reverse " should not bother our Bats ...

They will probably bring medium Neesham and Latham ...

Ish Sodhi is just a 21 year old spinner with a lotta promise.

they walking with anodda Offie , Mark Craig !

Nucleus of the Batting will be :

kane, , ross taylor , rutherford ,fulton , mc cullum and luke ronchi !

luke will be the cool hands with the Glove....mc cullum will be outfield ( methink ) 

We can beat this Squad : 2 - nothing in TEST 

Southee himself is pretty darn good with his line and length. If you don't apply yourself, then he could easily be a threat. Oh and Boult, he's their best bowler and the same as Southee except he's got pace to go with it. It's not as simple.  Corey's a part timer - you can easily play him out unless you're being Rash. Wagner ain't THAT great (despite his show vs India) - shouldn't be a major threat either. Just watch out for Boult and Southee.

Their team looks reasonably alright to me. I can't believe Fulton is still in the squad though - Rutherford hasn't done jack all for a while either.

And they've got 3 bloody wicketkeepers! Aside from BMac that is (yes, Lathan does keep for his domestic sides). But I guess it's Watling who gets in with possibly Latham as a specialist bat. My XI:

Tom Latham
Kane Williamson
Ross Taylor
Brendon McCullum
BJ Watling
Jimmy Neesham
Corey Anderson
Tim Southee
Trent Boult
Neil Wagner
Ish Sodhi (god knows why, but I guess they need a spinner - might as well be him)

I can see the kiwis winning, unless the Windies develop some character. Persisting with Samuels is a mistake in my view.
