If we’d batted like this in the first innings and bowled a shitload better we’d be on top
jesus fuck, this sounds like 'if Scarlett Johanssen something something'. If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle (until the trans activists showed up).
reality is we're limited. We need a few things to go our way. Santner is currently looking like Bradman V1.1 after a shedload of shitty innings. Fucked it I know, I've been on the garage projet, but I think we're going to get smoked in India.

Santner's innings also puts Conway's 'return to form' into some perspective.
Easy to score runs when the result is a foregone conclusion.

Yep, much of the second innings batting card has a vibe of aiming to score quick runs before they inevitably misread one.

Off the tap ?
Sorry back to the cricket.
What changes will Stead make given he has a squad of only 15.
I’ve already picked my team, anyone else want to have a crack ?

Probably good news. Latham will be a relatively passive captain from what it has looked like in the past, but Southee is far from an automatic selection now.

So, who is the new skipper?
Latham
Should have been promoted in the first place

Preach, Dylan Cleaver
The Black Caps have, in the space of the decade, gone from one of the most innovative and nimble high-performance programmes in the world, to one that is utterly predictable. It is also one that is unsheltered and vulnerable to the global winds of change in cricket.

Stead dined out on the best group of talent we've ever had, and did little to identify and prepare the next group to take over. Probably not helped by administration and high performance talent development in NZC. Sounds like another code I know...

Good way for Southee to retire with a test average under 30 I guess.
Ih he never plays again he's sandwiched between Beefy Botham and Malcolm Marshall on the all time wicket takers list! His average has slipped beyond Beefy's.

Still firmly in the list of very good seamers for NZ….just !
Those are a couple of great names to be in and around
