His name is on just about every cricket fan's lips and there's no disputing Marcus Stoinis can get gungho about hitting a ball.

It's also a given the Black Caps have done their homework on how to try to cramp the 27-year-old Australian cricketer's flamboyancy today in Napier.

But have the New Zealand batsmen brainstormed how to counter his right-arm medium pacers that have spooked the likes of captain Kane Williamson, opener Martin Guptill and Colin Munro, and may have earned him a ticket to the tour of India this month?

"I think he showed us how to bowl. He just bowled that hard length, you know, hitting the top of the stumps with a couple of change ups to take three big wickets as well.

"Yeah, I suppose you kind of respect the good balls and hope that he misses and then go from there but it was an allround special performance from him in the last game," said Kiwi spinner Mitchell Santner before today's second Chapple-Hadlee ODI at McLean Park from 2pm.

Thinking outside the park "square" is imperative and that's where fans must wonder if the Black Caps will go predictably with veteran Dean Brownlie in place of injured Guptill or promote someone like Manic Munro to take the sheen off the white balls.

The word is the Ockers are keen to inject wicket-savvy leggie Adam Zampa after he missed out in Auckland.
