NZ have rotated every player. (And England have been rotating players continually since cricket's resumption.) You could say this devalues Test caps and Test cricket. But they have three Tests back to back. The final v. India is more important that this.
So Young, Blundell, Mitchell, Henry, Patel, Boult all in...
Santner is injured. So four of those changes are unforced. |

3/102.
Burns 49*.
That's all for me. I can handle T20 crowd behaviour but the Bormy Ormy has ruined Tests against England, for me.

England 6/191
Boult 2/42 (18 )
Henry 2/57 (17)
Selection of NZ's bowlers for the Test Final will be very interesting. They have good problems. |

New Zealand's wholesale changes show immense strength in depth
https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/eng-vs-nz-2021-new-zealand-s-wholesale-changes-show-immense-strength-in-depth-1265930
"Tom Latham, their stand-in captain, insisted in his pre-match press conference that beating England was "higher on our priority list" than the WTC final, but that he was saying it in the first place was proof of the inverse...
...
The only time a team has used more than that in a two-match series was when Sri Lanka rested seven players after an innings-and-196-run win against a struggling Bangladesh in 2002...
...
The true test of depth will come tomorrow, when a batting line-up shorn of its linchpin comes up against England's four seamers, but on a dry pitch with few obvious demons, it would be no surprise if they took a lead into the third day." |
