it’s pathetic isn’t itWe can’t even make them pay for drops now. What the **** has happened to our batting?
It is due to double agent Vettori.We can’t even make them pay for drops now. What the **** has happened to our batting?
It's the modern way. Truly, it is. It's insanity. You bat for 3 sessions, you win - no questions asked. Then Head plays that shot first up. It's just madness. You score quickly anyway...why the hell would you do that?I mean that's just dumb. Clearly the plan is to attack Southee which is fair enough, but maybe take a look first?
Ominous callHa ha. That drop didn't matter.
Not sure why he's at point. Where was Phillips, gully?Rachin is a really bad fielder
Hmm maybe that's why they chose SP. When he grabs them he doesn't let them go.Some quite terrible cricket this morning, though great to have the wicket of Head.

Also next time we add a new player to the team, we could really use a good slip/gully.
I think they're just idiots. One of the most basic things you do when playing a shot like that is it's either into the ground, or over the top. You don't try to hit through the field at a catchable height. It's not like the bowler was sending it down at 145kph and it was all reaction with no control. They were both short of a length, at less than 130, nothing balls and they had the time to do whatever they wanted with them.We can’t even make them pay for drops now.

Reckon Rachin is pretty draught horse-y tbh. Quite a comical running style.I just don't get how there can be any justification for the fielding. It's literally their job, they've been playing since they were babies, you have all the time in the world to practice. The muscle memory on that Rachin catch, he should catch that in his sleep. He's a batsman, his eyes are good, he can clearly move OK, there's no excuse. The real draught horses like Ish, Chris Martin etc, I kinda get it...but when guys are dropping catches in the prime of their lives, it's just horse rubbish.

It's the toxic modern way of supporting your players to a fault no matter what they do. No accountability for failure and when they **** up "oh well that's how he plays". They've gone from overly disciplinarian Langer to a yes-man in McDonald who just baby sits the players while they run amock
