Bracewell Ruled Out Of 2nd Test

Three possibilities for the Black Caps as they assess who should replace Doug Bracewell in the New Zealand test XI.

Bracewell has been ruled out of this week's second trans-Tasman test in Christchurch with a strained rotator cuff.

Commentator Bryan Waddle said it may be another chance for Matt Henry, who impressed in the one-day internationals, while Neil Wagner is a reliable option, but would add another left-armer's footmarks.

Waddle says New Zealand might go for an all seam bowling line-up, with Henry and Wagner coming in to replace Bracewell and off-spinner Mark Craig.
