I hate it when NZ cricket keep going back to the same old players who have been tried before and have fallen short. Give some new blood a crack.

Martin Crowe said that when you bat with the tail enders you should play as you usually would. If they had done this and not left all the batting to Stoinis then perhaps Hazelwood wouldn't have been run out and they would have won.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Tom Bruce should really get a crack somewhere.

Come to think of it, they might as well open with Blundell. He's already in the squad and he's been opening in domestic limited overs stuff.

I'd say this is probably the most likely scenario.

Y no Afghanistan flag
Or perhaps Haze gets out straight away before the massive partnership even got going.

He hasn't been scoring runs. Although I wouldn't be opposed.

Blundell has been opening in Domestics for about 5 minutes. I don't recall him doing anything much in that role either.

I think Brownlie is the logical choice. Since he has moved to opener about 3 years ago he has turned his modest List A record into a good one.
At international level, IIRC, he opened pre-WC in UAE and was pretty good, but didn't turn his 30s and 40s into 80s or 100s.
Worker is unlucky though I agree. He took his chances when he played for blackcaps but that hasn't been rewarded by the selectors yet.
It's good to actually have decent options though, rather than swapping between Spearman, Horne, Nevin etc (although the odi game is a lot easier since those days to be a little bit fair to them)

It's case by case. Stoinis almost did it perfectly, and certainly watching I thought he was about to. It was just a dose of bad-ish luck with the run out, plus Starc sold him down the river for an extra partner.

Yup, and I think attitudes have changed a bit to how to construct the chase in that situation; Dhoni being the man who provided a pretty big influence on that in shorter form cricket.

On the radio there was speculation that he mightn't be fit for India
