7th Heaven - A New Zealand Story

[shaynedear]

As a kiwi my aim is to take New Zealand to #1 in test rankings.

The squad for a 3 test series vs West Indies, has a few surprising names.

Rutherford
T.Latham
Williamson
Taylor
B.McCullum
Anderson
Neesham
Munro
Vettori, Could very well be his last tour.
Ryder, recalled after his drinking issues look to have been sorted.
Southee
Boult
Sodhi
Wagner
McClenaghan
Small
Henry
Milne

Small, Henry, Milne unlikely to see game time but could be future stars.

B.Watling very unlucky to miss out but with Ryder returning and Latham long term opener/keeper we don't need 3 keepers.
