I honestly think that Watling has the goods as a test opener but would err on the side of keeping him where he is at the moment. He has opened before and is of course valuable at 7 but he has shown the ability to accumulate runs and has often been out there when a new ball has been taken. 

I don't like the thought of Bracewell anywhere near that team at the moment, the dynamic seems perfect at the moment without him.

My Test XI would be:

  1. Latham
  2. McCullum
  3. Williamson
  4. Taylor
  5. Guptill
  6. Neesham
  7. Watling
  8. Craig
  9. Southee
  10. Boult
  11. Wagner

Wider Squad:

Brownlie, Sodhi, Milne
