I think it is totally fair to say that this team is special.
Isn't it also about time to admit that McCullum is a pretty special batsman after his third double of the year? Nah... we'll probably write it off as a T20 innings and yearn for a solid grafter to replace him.
Million percent agree. Question now is where does he bat? Do they leave him as an opener in NZ conditions (and English conditions in May) or do they push him back down to five to bring together that Willaimson/Taylor/McCullum Middle order. Probably all depends what they think re any other options at 5.
And whether they try to squeeze both Neesham and Anderson in? In NZ I'd drop him back to 5 and have:
Latham
Opener (really not sure who though - I guess whoever is in form domestically)
Williamson
Taylor
McCullum
Neesham
Watling
Craig
Southee
Boult
Wagner
