#3 Tom Latham affected by keeping responsibilities?
New Zealand have recently entrusted Tom Latham with keeping responsibilities despite having Tom Blundell in the past series and Luke Ronchi in this one. However, Latham's string of low scores have eerily coincided with New Zealand giving him keeping duties.
Latham averages 34.60 as a batsman in 46 ODIs against an average of 7.42 in seven ODIs as a keeper. Although the number of matches played is significantly skewed, the trend is pretty clear.
Dean Brownlie and George Worker are available as back up openers and it may not be long before the Kiwis run out of patience with Latham. This year, the southpaw has scored just nine runs in four innings at an average of 2.25, hardly stats that inspire confidence.
