Move McCullum to No. 5

India have the first Test firmly in their grasp and Adam Parore looks at what New Zealand can do in the following matches to avoid a series loss. In the New Zealand Herald, he suggests a re-look at the middle order and moving Brendon McCullum up to No. 5.
It's difficult to see McCullum maximising his test potential batting at number seven. It just doesn't give him the opportunity to make the centuries that his talent is capable of because the players around him can't stay at the crease long enough.
