Tim Southee tips Black Caps' middle order to start firing against England in DunedinSTU FORSTER/GETTY IMAGES Tim Southee celebrates the wicket of England batsman Eoin Morgan during the third ODI in Wellington on Saturday. Senior Black Cap Tim Southee believes there's too much quality in their middle order to keep underperforming against England. New Zealand enter must-win territory at Dunedin's sold out University Oval on Wednesday, trailing 2-1 in the five match ODI series. A middle order collapse crippled the Black Caps' chances, going from 80-1 to 103-6 and losing four wickets for six runs to English spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali during a horror 21-ball span. Southee defended the middle order batting and said while they had disappointed in the last two matches, they had proved in the past what they were capable of.
