Edgar, Wright & Greatbach
Honestly I think if I was managing a small population pool like the Kiwi's, I would be putting Ross Taylor and Brendan McCallum into open with a mandate to score quickly while the feild is up.
Then work it out with a Styris or Oram later.
I think T20 cricket is about to challenge our previous conceptions about test batting. Honestly if a guy can score a century off the first 50 ball's he has already done a considerable amount of damage within a Test match. More than likely a lot more damage than a guy who scores a century in 200 ball's.
