Somewhat reminiscent of the Nathan Astle double ton, also put on 100+ for the last wicket

(That happened a lot quicker though)

If this partnership continues into the last session then I’d say Haddin will start sledging his fellow commentators along the lines of “ffs you Kiwi’s are weak”.

NZ cricket deserve this humiliation by making Southee Test captain and hence making him undroppable when he's so obviously no longer up to Test level. It means that not only do NZ basically go into a Test with 10 players with him adding nothing, but to make matters worse of course captain selfish gives himself the new ball & the best conditions & along with his usual selfish wasting of DRS reviews that are clearly not out.

Obviously he'll lose the captaincy following this series, with the selectors being under too much media pressure but way too late since this was an accident waiting to happen.

Also, how unjust does it all feel that Wagner gets told he's no longer in the picture while Mr entitled gets to carry on with supposedly no accountability whatsoever.

I just don't get what his motivation is. If he has any sense he'd retire at the end of the next test, having reached 100 matches.

Does he want to break Hadlees record? He's never talked about goals or what motivates him. You never get the sense he's passionate and die hard like Wagner. At least Boult had the transparency to say "cbf, wanna make money in the easiest format". I genuinley don't know what motivates Southee. Tests are his best format but it's like he just deliberately doesn't turn up because he wants to make sure he doesn't get injured and miss out on money. Does he have a gambling or coke problem?!?!
