I'm also really struggling to understand the logic of resting players during this series. Bowlers maybe, though Southee hasn't exactly had a lot of cricket lately.
Batsmen though, they need time in the middle to build form/confidence. Batting isn't very hard on the body, I really don't see why Kane wouldn't play every game of the home summer.
I reckon they're basically having Christmas at home.
I, for one, am outraged that they'll therefore only play 24 of the 27 consecutive white-ball games.
I remember when "every game of the home summer" was 6 games. 3 tests and 3 ODIs (sometimes 4 ODIs)

Far too busy kicking the boot (repeatedly) into Veitch.
Big over from Nicholls before , very impressive innings
-
Yep...looking good
Partnership of 127 with strike rate well over 100
-
Astle out bowled for 49 (45) with 4 balls to go.

Santner should be really worried..
Santner's ODI numbers are really good, so he's probably safe, but great to see Astle go well this series. He's a very handy player.

3 down now
Worst Windies side everYeah they are fucking dire. I've been keeping an eye on proceedings today but have to admit the interest is waning a bit.

Wonder if Gayle’s ‘illness’ suddenly appeared the minute he realised he flew all this way to be part of the lamest worse Windies side ever?
Their other stars obviously don't want a part of proceedings either. They have some sensational short form players who just don't give a fuck compared to being mercenaries for other teams. Very sad for the world game.

An NZ bolwer smashing the off stump out of the ground at 147 clicks gives me a hard on.
