Southee playing as a specialist captain now that he’s taken a single wicket for 30 runs, has stopped bowling as he clearly doesn’t want the average to get any worse
Tim needs to finish up pretty soon if he wants a sub-30 career bowling average.

Yeah that to me is the difference between ‘good’ and ‘very good’ ( with sub 25 being excellent )

@MN5 Right now, he's got less than 100 runs to play with - before his next wicket.
Looking at Matt Henry's performances in the past 2 years it's pretty hard to justify Timmy playing ahead of him.
Thank Stead for handing Timee the captaincy

It's a while since I've thought about the next Test keeper in line. But Blundell's batting and keeping aren't brilliant these days...
After a promising start he hasn't kicked on to become BJW 2.0 as we'd hoped

We are missing a seamer like Wags, who could make the most out of unfavorable wickets, making the batsmen constantly uncomfortable. Loves Wags
I love Wags too, it’s unfern like not to…..but I think he bowed out at the right time
As for today it would sure be nice for O’Rourke to get a couple of quick ones.
Always a bit shit when a part time spinner gets a wicket when the front liners couldn’t….Patel and Santner need a rocket.

Unless Patel was horrid, that is tough on him. He has a 10fer, and picked up 8 or 9 wickets in the last test. He's doing his bit!
Yeah fair call, I just gave myself an uppercut, ridiculous of me to expect sustained amazingness in every test !
Santner though…..

@nzzp I'm sticking with my prescription that Henry and Sears should have come in and Southee and Santner should have gone out.
Devon is on thin ice.
We've got to play spin options and Ajaz is probably the best we have. It's a pity he's not six inches taller.

Just a really disappointing but somewhat predictable performance after the disappointing selections. The Black Caps really need a shake up, we still have the talent but we're under performing.
