Williamson gives an impression of being laid-back, but Latham can take laid-back to lethargic new heights as a Captain.
After about an hour into Day 1 of this Test I can't say I've been very enthusiastic to fire up the Spark Sport app. Everything about the first three and a half days has just screamed Bangladesh at Bay Oval. Phoning it in and leaving it for someone else to step up.
It's telling that CdG and Mitchell didn't play at Bay Oval, and so far they have been the only ones to front with the bat here...

Game over.
It’s unfathomable how you can go from being so dominant to being chewed up and spat out the rear end in the space of a few days.
funny fucking summer aye?
Lose to Bangladesh in embarrassing fashion. Next match pump the ever loving shit out of them
Smash South Africa in unprecedented fashion. Next match get flogged.

I just checked the score, I had no idea Blair’s Hartland and Pocock had been recalled
Funny you should say that:
Cricinfo: Stat from Sampath:
New Zealand openers collectively scored 4 runs in this match, the joint-fewest by a team's openers in a Test match
-
Southee was probably saying he was proud as a tail ender to have batting average under 10 against SA.
Latham says hold my beer
-
Really dumb shots to be two down very early... the rest have to show far better patience & good shot selection otherwise we're going to get rolled pretty quickly.

I'd call it an unreservedly shit summer.
I wouldn't normally say it is embaraasing to get beaten by South Africa. But .... this team .... not great, at home ...
NZ have been pathetic.I don't think this great era is going to have a slow decline.

I hadn't realised just how much Latham's batting average of 41.68 is based on doing very well against the lesser international sides.
Source: Cricinfo.It is tough to understand why Martin Guptill apparently can't cut it at test level and Tom Latham is test captain - yes.

This is turning into Keystone Cop Batting, that ball was too full for Henry to go back to.

This is what happens when you play test cricket during the rugby season.

Really good solid defending by Conway, he's using soft hands like Williamson does.

Source: Cricinfo.really?.. I though everyone knew he only did well against lesser teams, his average against SA though is next level though

I hadn't realised just how badly he did against all of the half decent and upwards bowling attacks...
