For a long time, this New Zealand
team was under the charge of a man who loved a gamble or two. But would even
Brendon McCullum have been funky enough to go up to his two best bowlers, Tim
Southee and Trent Boult, on the team's opening match of a World T20 and say,
'Pick up the bibs, lads. You're out.'? Kane Williamson did. He saw a dry Nagpur
pitch, heard how the ball had turned during the qualifier games at the venue
and asked Nathan McCullum, Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi to clock in for duty.
The first of those three spinners is in the twilight of his career, the other
two had played only five T20Is each. And India had no answers against them.

Zealand T20 World Cup 2016 highlights:
