- Play David Willey:
There are very few bowlers in the world who can swing the new ball like David Willey does. With overcast conditions on offer, he can be absolutely devastating with the new ball. Since New Zealand’s batting is top heavy with Guptill and Williamson at one and three, Willey can cause serious damage to the New Zealand’s plans by picking one of them, if not both, early in the innings.
Adding to that, he has a very good record versus New Zealand. In his three games against New Zealand, he has picked seven wickets at an average of 29. If he can knock a couple of early wickets with his swing, then England can make it very difficult for New Zealand.
