Don't mistake Southee having a great eye for Southee knowing how to bat. If you gave his eye to someone like Wagner, then you'd have a guy averaging 25... but Southee himself isn't a batsman, he's a guy with a phenomenal eye but no footwork. And even he doesn't look as scared at the crease as Patel did.

The bigger point is Southee has no bigger heart or spine than Patel, yet never seems to get an ounce of criticism from within the NZ camp.

Trying to equate Southee backing away and swinging madly at everything, versus Patel backing away and willing the ball to bowl him is the difference.

There is no footage on Youtube, but what Patel did was ****ing disgraceful for an NZ International Test Cricketer.

Let us return to the bowling coaches we had when Southee was swinging the ball and taking wickets i.e. Donald and Bond.

I don't think Jeets ever got any criticism from within the New Zealand camp (well not publicly anyway). He wasn't dropped after that series because of his batting, he was dropped because he was in no fit state to play after his mum died.

If you're talking about the wider public, Southee absolutely cops a lot of **** from both fans and increasingly the commentators for his style of batting. The difference between him and Patel, is that he does well enough with the ball for it to basically not matter.

Scott Styris crediting Matt Henry for bowling a half tracker down leg that the batsman got a glove on... ridiculous.

Someone needs to dig up some footage from somewhere. I'm not really a Patel fan but from what I've seen he always tries hard so I am a bit surprised by this harsh criticism.

has anyone else noticed that when doull talks either about subcontinental sides or wants to sound sophisticated, a slight fake accent starts creeping in?

Haha, I mean it's only the Bangerz, but try these tactics against Aus and Saf later this season and we're gonna need to keep a lot of spare kookaburras in stock.

I have it on quite good authority that a reasonably big deal was made of that at the time within the camp, with BMac stressing that they don't back down to anyone moving fwd, all part of the new agreed philosophy the team spoke of after the 45 all out.
