Craig McMillan has been named New Zealand's batting coach :
for the upcoming tour of the West Indies......
Re: New Zealand Squad ! - ketchim - 05-17-2014
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 ... [img alt=8)]http://www.westindiesforum.com/Smileys/forum/cool-very.png[/img]
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 !
Re: New Zealand Squad ! - ketchim - 05-17-2014

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.
