Which would make How the most experienced batsman with 9 caps (I think). I'll be interested to see how the New Zealand top-and-middle order cope.
Thats how i would line up for test 1, Southee ahead of Patel as he must be on a high after 5 wkts and a 50 on debut, plus the early season pitches in England suit seam more than spin, you have Vettori for that anyways.

One thing i learned this morning which shocked me (considering all this talk about IPL not interfering with intl cricket), is that Vettori, McCullum, Oram (and i think Mills and Taylor?) miss 2 of the 1st ODI's vs England?! Series will be over before they come back!
