I agree with you to an extent here Mike, to me we pick a side to win this test in Napier but also with one eye to Australia.
Two schools of thought occur to me, one would see me pick How, Sinclair, Broom. Basically guys with a lot of experience and who have scored runs at 1st class level but who have failed at test level (Broom apart). The other one would be picking Waitling, Brodie/Merchant, and Broom with a real fresh look.
I would probably go with the former, problem is we need Elliot to bowl if it is going to be a road as it normally is in Napier. So my team is
How
Guptill
Flynn
Taylor
Sinclair
Elliot
McCullum
Vettori
Tuffey/Southee
OBrien
Martin
