Southee for Wagner, otherwise that's probably our best XI to take forward.

And I completely agree - let's pick a wicketkeeper and give him our backing for an extended period of time. 18 months, whatever it is. And it's not van Wyk. Make it Watling, or de Boorder, or Latham. Back them to the hilt. Get them into combination with the cordon, get used to keeping to our bowlers. Give them the No.7 slot and let them own it. And get a specialist wicketkeeping/fielding coach to slap us intp action. Someone like a Rixon, whatever - even if they don't tour, get them in the build-up.
