But, they won't. And that's the problem, which will be around until they bin the coach. Who they keep giving new contracts.Good thing from NZ pov is that guys like Southee could finally get the sack after a massive defeat like this.
Definitely an opportunity for all the batsmen to put big numbers on the board. Will they? Can they?Need a McCullum 302 from here. There's guys in this team capable of it.
Thing with Santner’s batting is (at least from a viewers perspective) it looks too easy for bowlers to work him out. Bowl the right areas and build pressure and he succumbs more quickly than most. It’s a shame given his batting ability.Santner's performance here will probably be discounted but his batting has definitely improved recently and it's about time he's shown that in internationals.

Depends how many defeats like this stack up I guess. No place to hide playing three tests in India next.But, they won't. And that's the problem, which will be around until they bin the coach. Who they keep giving new contracts.
As a wife with a similar outlook on sport I feel your painTold my wife that NZ were getting absolutely demolished by Sri Lanka in the second test - 602 plays 88. She said those are just numbers. So I hope that puts all of your minds at ease and each of you can now move on with your day.
