- Mitchell Santner remains the X Factor:
It was right here in England a couple of years ago when Mitchell Santner first burst on to the international scene. Since then, the spin bowling all-rounder has impressed every time on the field and been a great asset to the New Zealand side. With an economy rate under 5, Santner is simply irresistible as a spinner and can dry up the runs in his quota of 10 overs. Apart from his miserly bowling and taking wickets, Santner can also play some useful knocks lower down the order. Going into the game against Australia, Santner’s contribution will be decisive indeed.
