The harsh glare has been on New Zealand's erratic batting in the Test series against Pakistan - and it's not a new problem either - but there also a bowling issue for the panel to ponder, writes David Leggat in the New Zealand Herald.
The first choice alongside Chris Martin and Daryl Tuffey is Tim Southee. All three had their moments, but also their flat periods in a four-pronged, fast-medium attack in Napier ... The leading candidate appears to be Northern Districts' in-form Brent Arnel. He is 30 but if applying the principle of picking players at the top of their game then Arnel should be given his chance.
