Yeah noticed that immediately when I read the article, but that's generally been the theme all tour long with Danyal Rasool. Still pathetic though, NZ effected a massive turnaround across days 4 and 5 and needs to be acknowledged as such. The first test, you could argue Pakistan blew it; this one, surely no arguments that they were well and truly outplayed in the end.
I'm actually surprised Osman wrote that, when NZ were at a low ebb a few years ago he seemed genuinely concerned about it :
Yeah Osman's always seemed pretty good tbf. I admit I haven't actually read through the piece yet, just saw the headline so maybe it's just their editors..
I second that emotion.
Yeah reading the article and he’s like “the stereotype is Nz punch above their weight, but mate they’re a ****ing good team”
That’s what I’m always saying hombre. Southee secretly is good again

And that's just five T20s
Lucky you ... I remember in NZ we only had daily highlights, until the final test, which was shown live!
Also Williamson almost overbalanced when picking up the Oye Hoye trophy ... grossly underestimating the weight of the great trophy.
I think it depends how big a role they think the spinner is going to play. He should definitely be first picked specialist spinner, but it may not be the case that they think such a player would bring more to the table than someone who could score lower order runs as well.
