It's not always appropriate, but him slogging there was appropriate to the situation.Fairly gutless batting by Boult once again, seems someone needs to give him (and Southee for that matter) a "rocket"

We are the hands of the Dibbly GoddessTime to pray to the Dobbly gods. Summoning Willy Watson
The thing with Southee is that he could be much better than this; that's why people get so annoyed. For Henry and (particularly) Boult trying to hit intermittent boundaries makes sense but Southee has the talent to be a proper #8 and he's never bothered with it.Why is Southee getting so much hate? He's clearly been told to bat like this and that what he's doing is perfectly ok. Boult and Henry bat almost exactly the same way, though admittedly Henry had the sense to take the easy runs after he got the hard ones.
We don't really know though, and it really seems to me this is more of the coach and captain's fault.The thing with Southee is that he could be much better than this; that's why people get so annoyed.

Not convinced Henry will be playing tbh.
No need to comment. Henry's action(s) will speak volumes.Nafe to comment
Yep. Done it all series.Boult's scrambling the seam again.
McCullum cant do it as his shot was worse than both of theirsFairly gutless batting by Boult once again, seems someone needs to give him (and Southee for that matter) a "rocket"
Man our domestic system must be terrible if we don't have better players than Guptill, Nicolls and Southee out there. Southee would be nowhere near an Australian side. I can't see the Aussies persisting with someone who has average close to 40 over a year either.Southee HAS TO GO. For the love of god please. When will the selectors learn??
