How ****ing brainless do you have to be to have Henry bowling out the last over? I mean seriously, even Lee Germon would know better.
KW is dumb dumb dumb.

Overrated bat, **** captain and an excellent fielder.

Honestly. Henry is a ****ing gash death bowler. Same as Kyle Mills was, yet they keep going to them. They're new ball bowlers who offer **** all past the 30th over. So don't use them.
That's the problem with NZ Cricket at the moment though, the only guy who doesn't need a new cherry to be effective is Wagner. There literally is no other talent in the country that doesn't rely on air movement to be effective.

Santner was the only guy who bowled decently in this innings.

Why target Henry? All of them are **** on flat wickets.

The problem with NZC is their bowling coaches. The talent is there. We keep signing sub-par bowling coaches (and batting for that matter) because David White isn't smart enough to make it work with the right coaches.

Need Guptill and KW to both go 150+ to stand a chance here.

Aka. No ****ing chance
It would be an insult to cricket if you can win a game after bowling and fielding like that.

In fact that was an insult to cricket period, if we're honest.

To be honest, Southee with 150 wickets and 100 matches should be able to coach these younger guys and he's just as guilty as the rest of them for bowling some utter tosh at times.

santner bowling out so soon was inexplicable imo. batsmen just got in a groove against very same-y bowling after that

I'll say it again, I can't wait for half of these players to retire and write their career bios spilling all the juice of the Kane era.

Taking off the gloom spectacles for a second.

De Grandhomme showed some stuff here that could be worked on and make him a highly effective closer, he bowled two **** balls, one of which being a free hit, but the rest of the over was good stuff, good cut, took pace off the ball, hit his lengths; that's a guy we need to focus some bowling time and attention on.

It's the Vettori curse, he was often the 1-38 off 10 bowler, bowling out before the 35th before the pain hit and we seem to be replicating it.

Not his job. He's got his own bowling to worry about, not like he's mastered that yet. If you're an international side, and you have designs on being the best in the world, when you employ a bowling coach you employ one that is fit for the role - not whatever's easiest to get your hands on.

Australians when India clobber their bowlers in 7 match odi series - "lol this is hilarious"

Kiwis when Australians clobber their bowlers in Chappell-Hadlee series - "this is the end, cancel all cricket now"

seem to remember Henry being a hero in this series last summer, and NZ posters/media acting like it somewhat made up for the world cup final and Brisbane

world cup is in england. we'll be fine with the ball

Nah Vettori bowled usually through the power play, this is rubbish. Usually had 3-4 overs and a spell beginning at the 35th.
