SYDNEY (Reuters) - Aggressive batsman Colin Munro may have given an insight into New Zealand's batting order tactics after they created a debate on Monday following their 68-run loss to Australia in the first one-day international in Sydney.

Munro, whose strike rate in limited overs cricket is among the highest in the New Zealand team, did not come in until number six and anchored the middle order on Sunday, scoring 49 runs from 59 balls before becoming the ninth wicket to fall.
