On a positive note. While it is Southee's last test, it is also almost definitely Stead's last test.
I'm very curious about how he'll be remembered in say 20 years. His highlights are incredible - 3-0 is India, WTC champions and an ODI and T20 final. I can definitely see plenty of people calling him the greatest Black Caps coach ever on those achievements. We remember the absolute dross from almost every other series though (is there any other series that we've been reolly impressive in? My memory is that we've either made series we were favourites in look closer than they should have been or lost, but I might be forgetting some other solid performances. I think we won a series in England before the WTC which I think is only our second away win in England?).
I suspect that that dross will be forgotten and his legacy will only improve, and be a source of much debate fans.

@Cyclops I'll remember Hesson a lot more favourably than Stead.
He built the team that won the WTC. Stead merely managed it. If some of the talent coming through now blossoms, he could he credited with leaving us in a good place

NZ without loss at lunch? Has the team that went to India finally found the ground?

Ravindra once again with all of the talent and little temperament.
Can’t help but agree. Needs to really address that…..or perhaps we have to accept that’s how he plays, kind of our version of David Gower or Mark Waugh.
He’s not at their level yet either

Did I miss something, I thought he was locked in for a few more years?
He's got 6 months to go. No tests in that time.

Who’s next?
Fleming? Vettori?
