    Black Caps coach Rob Walter has revealed he's failed to coax Mitch Santner to bat further up the order at cricket's T20 World Cup

    Black Caps coach Rob Walter has revealed he's failed to coax Mitch Santner to bat further up the order at cricket's T20 World Cup


    His captain this week became the first New Zealander to score 1000 runs and take 100 wickets in T20 internationals.

    Walter says Santner is under-rated, under-stated and delivers when required.



    New Zealand face England in their final super eight encounter overnight - a win or a narrow loss would earn a spot in the semi-finals.
