Nz barely play tests. Tom Latham has played their last 88 tests and that streak goes back to 2014.

I was surprised how few tests wi play as well, K-raig-G brathwaite has played their last 86 in a row and that also goes back to 2014.

Meanwhile Joe root has played 60 in a row going back to only 2020.

Windies were worse than Bangladesh for a few years there which would've resulted in less matches, New Zealand have always been competitive (except against Australia)

17 Tests for the year 9 wins, 8 losses. It’s a bit of a conundrum.

We saw the good, the bad and the ugly of Bazball in this series. The good was the first 2 tests. The bad was the 1st innings of the 3rd test and the ugly was the 2nd innings of the Hamilton test.

Agreed I couldn’t care less about the WTC I just want us to play more games. It’s all I give a shit about.

People will laugh and just say ‘why would you want to lose more’ or ‘it will just highlight the gap between the best and worst more’ but no sides especially ones that actually have talent - which we do - will develop if it doesn’t get exposed to decent opposition.

It’s finally started to happen for Bangladesh as they’ve played more cricket even if Australia has completely ignored them.

Boy oh boy that 2nd nz innings. Why did england take Atkinson off after the 40th over, bowl stokes himself to death, bowl bashir so much for doing nothing, give brook and bashir the new ball? I’d say they were tanking if incompetence wasn’t a more likely explanation
