It will be good in the new era to have a tail who aren't afraid of the bouncer and of the new ball. And bat for the senior batsman (which only O'Rourke does).
With Smith and Foulkes in the mix that dream may be a possibility.
This post and dream is ignoring the dumb and soft and falling onto obvious traps ... that half the top 7 did today. One easy problem at a time for the new super coach. Can't expect miracles like coaching specialist batsmen to not be crao while also coaching the tail to not be pussies.
O’Rourke has reasonably solid defence and knows his role well. Despite scoring fuck all runs he’s not the bunny his stats say he is.

He could teach some of the batsmen above him about how to place a value on your wicket

There are some seriously ordinary names in that list.
Patel, Marshall, Rutherford maybe. Probably could consider them "Journeymen" (which is not a bad thing). All good enough to play tests.
Also remembering Patel played a huge amount of County cricket before coming to NZ.
Kinda like the "worst All Black" arguments.

Satnav top scoring is so nineties blackcraps

He adds bigger partnerships to the team score than Southee.
This is statistical fact.
He should be 10, and Southee 11. The team would consistently get larger totals.
Wouldn't be a true blackcaps test match experience without complaints about Southee's batting. So, I'll stay true to form until the last.

Yeah poor from me, I try not to sink to that level and have a go at guys that, like you say, have played for their country.
