BJ Watling remains on the cusp of all three international teams. A Test century on debut beckoned against Pakistan in Napier when the heavens intervened and - although he couldn't replicate the same attractive strokeplay in the series against Australia in 2010 - he did blunt the Aussie attack with a series of starts. A handy back-up wicketkeeper and an athletic in-fielder, Watling's all-around skills appeal in a squad situation.
