Not unusual for players to get sorted out here and take years to get over it.
But still making more runs than most of the other batsman:
Since Dec 2015:
12 tests, 1021 runs @ 53
18 ODIs, 663 runs @ 36, SR 81
10 T20s, 383 @ 47, SR 118

The only valid option is Guptill taking over in the white ball forms, but tbh it's KW's deterioration in his Test batting that's concerned me more since taking the captaincy, and there's really no other options there.
It's a shame since one of KW's greatest batting assets was that he always played with a very clear head, now he seems to have all this weight on his shoulders and it really shows.
For some, captaincy brings the best out of their batting and for others, clearly it doesn't.

Each to their own, but a little strange you'd feel the need to broadcast it to everyone as opposed to quietly ignoring and leaving it there.A fair indication of how NZ are doing right now.

Wasn't that long ago (T20 World Cup) that people were talking up KW's captaincy as ushering in a new era of ruthlessness, attention to detail and high-performance. While I agree that he's not looking great at the moment, and I also would've liked another year of McCullum, let's not forget that he's still early in his captaincy career and it can take time for new captains to settle.

Crucial period of the game where BD usually releases the pressure and loses the game from here

I'm amused he took the time and effort to screenshot and upload it

Yeah, he was tactically excellent in that tournament. But even then his batting was a little below what he's capable of.

Yeah, it's not his tactics that bother me so much, although I do find he is overly defensive at times & the sooner we forget about our display with ball & in the field in Aust, the better. It's the fact I think we'd get much better value out of him as purely our premier Test batsman.

Yeah it's a bit puzzling to me - KW has captained pretty much every team he's ever played in as far as I know, and has also been the premier bat for that team as well, often with an enormous gap to the next best. Seems strange that that responsibility now appears to be weighing on him, when it never has in the past.
I suppose one different aspect could be the media duties - he doesn't seem the type to enjoy the attention, so that could be affecting him a bit.
You can ignore people?! Cool. I'll stick you on now.A fair indication of how NZ are doing right now.

And this is why NZ Rugby has such a terrible reputation with regards to its culture.
Bowls like him too.
Nah, I'm just kidding. I won't ignore you. I like comic relief. Plus if I started sticking people like yourself on my ignore list then there would be hardly any posts coming through.
