Injuries, form in focus for Martin Guptill as he jumps back aboard opener merry-go-round MARK GEENTYANDREW CORNAGA/PHOTOSPORT Martin Guptill returns to the top of the New Zealand order to partner Henry Nicholls against Bangladesh in Napier on Wednesday. Watching Martin Guptill at McLean Park on match eve you'd think he barely had a care in the world. It sees Nicholls assume the box seat and partner Guptill a second time after game four against India in Hamilton. Munro appeared to struggle with the Black Caps blueprint of reining in all-out attack with the intention of keeping wickets in hand, but Guptill said there was no clear directive. That will be the bare minimum if the Black Caps bat first on Wednesday, having not cracked 250 in the India series.
