Agree with all your points on BCs and the previous commentators
I too, have been unable to watch this slowly evolving train crash, particularly after no team changes at a toss lost again. It was tails (never fails) and Southee called heads again... Boiled frog anology (although a myth) very apt. Southee and Stead both need to go.
I have a ticket for the Basin test vs England, but will be giving it away if Southee is still involved, particularly after his captaincy debacle there vs Aus last season - picking and sticking with Kuggs, and the second morning vs Green and Hazelwood specifically
If Southee is a better captain than Latham (really?), then who do you go to? At least Mitchell would be proactive and is certain of his place in the side. Interesting that he (and so many others) looked so disinterested in the field on the first morning - does one suspect that Southee has lost the dressing room?
Their minds aren’t on the job at all it seems. Yesterday they were so rusty there were times it was like they’d never played together before. In the time it’s taken me to write this Blundell has missed a stumping off Ajaz and next delivery they’ve been given a caught behind decision which was overturned. India is going to be a nightmare, especially if they don’t make any selection changes.
One wonders what the vibe is like in the squad. I doubt Henry is happy and other players won’t agree with some of the selections whether they themselves are playing or not. It can be corrosive and may be spilling onto the field
Can anyone enlighten me as to why Matt Henry with 23 wickets @16.95 in 2024 is running the drinks?
Southee had 8 wickets @71 this year.
Just crazy
You’ll have to ask Gary Stead and Tim Southee, they seem to have some mysterious wisdom that no one else can grasp

Thanks for your work
