Yeah this is exactly how I feel. There could be the argument that any runs he scores generally do matter, because they're at the top - therefore if he scores them, the guys below have a strong platform against those lesser teams. And yes, you would absolutely take it because there was nothing before, there's nothing below now, and there's not a lot coming.And even that'd be much more acceptable if he was helping NZ win or save close Tests against those teams. But Latham's runs have rarely actually mattered because NZ have been a very good side at home in that period and beaten lesser teams comfortably.
Given the desperate searches for openers in previous eras and even at times to partner Latham you'd still take it, but it's been a disappointing career. It has nothing to do with Bazball either.
Yeah I feel like this too. Wonder what the most overs bowled in Test cricket without ever taking a wicket isNZ will win, I’ve accepted that but can Von Berg get one wicket please?

Headley being thrown the ball 14 times and never taking a wicket amused me. You reckon you might stop trying that after the 13th time. He was expensive too.Ah well he's not even in the top 20 (von Berg)
Over a 24-year period He started bowling in Tests in 1930, and they still thought he might be a chance to take a wicket in 1954. That is hilariousHeadley being thrown the ball 14 times and never taking a wicket amused me. You reckon you might stop trying that after the 13th time. He was expensive too.
