Southee probably plays too many games and Boult doesn't play enough so one of them is cooked while the other one is rusty.

Ferguson and Sears have been the best of our bowlers so far tonight.

Well i don't think southee being cooked is a possibility since he has a walk-in and not a run-up...there's no actual effort or exertion in his cricket lol...but since he plays all the games i expect his rythm to be a lot better than boults in intl cricket

obviously it would be ideal to bench a 35yo southee for half the games since already know what we're getting from him, and try out a nathan smith or someone instead

Being a specialist captain means 35% of his speed has dropped off you'll notice. He no longer bowls 141 kph, thats not a coincidence

man good to see milne get some confidence, seems to be always be the type who never has good games against top teams, fingers crossed he knocks over couple more and gets away cheaply...gets some good figs against a strong aussie batting lineup

The way Katey Martin said "good point" to the end of that rambling giberrish from Phillips gives the same vibe as whenever you see somebody on the bus politely agreeing with everything that the crazy person seated next to them is saying.

No in 2019 he was lean and consistently hitting 141-143 kph. Captaincy ruined his pace

Clarkson looking like they drew a lucky farmer's name out of a hat to play for New Zealand but they're too scared to bat or bowl him
