India vs New Zealand 2016: 6 things the Kiwis need to fix for the second Test

#4 The batting order

Does BJ Watling's batting position warrant a second look?

New Zealand’s batting order may need a slight tweak. BJ Watling is composed and has a good technique when it comes to dealing with quality spin. He is a little too low in the order at No.7. That position would be better suited to Luke Ronchi’s aggressive approach. Watling would be an excellent fit for No.5 from where he can steady the ship even if New Zealand have lost couple of quick wickets.

Ronchi for all his aggression isn’t technically sound enough and hence is better off lower down the order. His 80 makes a good case for leaving him be, but New Zealand need more solidity in the middle if Ross Taylor has another bad Test.
