Time to pray to the Dobbly gods. Summoning Willy Watson :happy:
We are the hands of the Dibbly Goddess
And to Her we offer these...
Images made sacred
by the spirit of Gavin Larsen in our hearts

We are people of the DobblyGoddess
in Her honor we celebrate...
Joining together on CW
Kiwi peoples of the Earth

Praying for swing.

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.
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.

We don't really know though, and it really seems to me this is more of the coach and captain's fault.

Give Henry the new ball. Treat it as an audition.

All we're gonna learn from this is that Southee & Boult are still busted flushes and Henry isn't a 3rd seamer. But we already knew that. It would be nice to be a little bit further along the Henry judging process.

Southee another over? Surely now is the time to be aggressive and change him for Henry. He's not swinging it or bowling pace, give Henry the ball when it's new.

Southee HAS TO GO. For the love of god please. When will the selectors learn??
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.
