Need to write it off as a bad series for McCullum and hope he does better for the series against SA and Aus.

Just found some truly astonishing similarities between the later career of Mitch McClenaghan and England's Jade Dernbach.
McClenghan had an extraordinarily good start to his career, then from 1 January 2014 he basically became Jade Dernbach - check this out:
Jade Dernbach ODI career: 24 matches / 31 wickets / economy rate 6.35
McClenaghan since 1/1/2014: 24 matches / 30 wickets / economy rate 6.43
Since McClenaghan became 'Mitch Dernbach', he's performed at a marginally sub-JadeDernbach level, as the above stats attest.
Overall career stats often don't tell the full story Flem9/46, like overall McLeakinruns stats look good but he's been woeful since the start of 2014.

it's pretty funny though that england identified completely the wrong things to work on post world cup yet with all the #intent stuff they're winning again.

the problem was they couldn't defend any total because their bowlers weren't taking wickets in a world cup where wickets before over 35 were crucial ftr. anderson and broad were horrific.

shouldn't they be prioritising wood's fragile body for the ashes over some JAMODIs?
No, England correctly recognising this match will define the NZ tour and looking to take the confidence of a series win into the contest with Australia. Diminishing their side for this match is not the right call.

Your analysis is woefully flawed. How could their bowlers be expected to defend the kind of paltry total their timid batsmen served up in Wellington against NZ. England batting was pitiful, typified by Morgan's abject run of form in the Cup.

And the failure to chase down 270 against Bangladesh, not exactly a daunting target for anyone.
