I had an essay here* but I think the title is enough. Standards haven't slipped from 12 months ago, they're in freefall. NZ B 12 months ago beat England and they'd ****ing smash the current NZ.
Take Larsen and Jurgenson while you're at it. And stop selecting 7 specialist batsmen and 3 bowlers. Pick your actually good for once spinner. Pick batsmen who actually score runs in the Shield and not just because they bowl some part time trash offies and share a last name with a decent spinner. Win games you're expected to win and are paid extremely well for. Fire David "lol tests and odis there is only t20" White and throw Chris "women shouldn't play test cricket" Barclay down a well.
Players come into this team and start well then get visibly worse in how they are playing, not just in raw production. Seriously if we slide back to what we were when we have these players at our disposal then I'm out. I would rather support a country that gives a ****. I have zero interest in watching my team become a t20 specialist side who has played *checks notes* considerably less than 20 odis this cycle and tries very hard to cut tests and FC cricket.
And if we somehow win this dead rubber idgaf the circus is still a joke. Only reason I don't want KW to lose the captaincy (because we know how he is with spinners) is Latham isn't test standard in SENA conditions against teams who don't bowl Hawke Cup pacers at him.
