Looks like Southee has wisely given up on himself

Yep, this guy is a LH killer. Which is good, because they should be banned as they are in hockey

Southee’s a much better cricketer when he’s not batting, bowling or captaining

Biggest myth in cricket is ‘left handers are elegant’. They all look terrible.

Trouble for these two series is from Blundell downwards they’re mostly sitting ducks against quality spin. Top 5 really needs to do the bulk of the work obviously, but Phillips’ role becomes more crucial as a result.
Golfers, too. They look laboured.
Great grab. Geez O'Rourke is more gun than I thought he'd be
Yeah I see what you mean here, he's almost a guardian of the lower order against spin.

O’Rourke has a lot of tools, not least the distraction caused by that gargantuan cranium bearing down on the hapless small-headed batsman

This test is eerily similar at the halfway stage to the BAN-NZ test last year:

Not a social norm it's just a choice some people choose to do .

jesus christ because of you i can't stop looking at his head now
Daryl Mitchell forgetting that Glenn Phillips has ADHD and will run at any half opportunity was the start of the rot. That was criminal. Not backing up when GP is your batting partner is a death wish.
Then Santner got pumped up by the commentators as a decent average with 24 (Matt Henry's is 22) and nicked out second ball, Southee tried to cut a half volley, Ajaz played around a straight one like Conway did, and O'Rourke did his best while GP did his thing.

wow, his head is absolutely massive indeed
a bit of self awareness required on his part, why grow your hair out that long as well....not doing his head aesthetics any favors

Annoying that we’ve let Karunaratne get away here cos I really don’t think he’s looked that secure at all
Moss

He’s absolutely key here for SL, can see him being the rock around which they build a lead. Have to get him soon.

O’Rourke was all over him but just couldn’t quite get him. Annoying.
