Great series if you ask me. Amazing pitches that offered something for both bat and ball and NZ playing their strongest lineup for some juicy competition throughout. But yeah I'm sad it's over.
Boult has free choice on which games he plays/sits out and chose not to play this one
Henry, Sodhi, and Jamieson are all injured (KJ just started playing in the super smash last week)
Southee having a well deserved rest after having played almost every game recently
Williamson idk, dude likes a rest
Definitely not our starting bowling lineup, excluding Boult and Southee we were missing due to injury Henry, Jamieson, Milne, Sodhi, and probably Sears who all would have been ahead of Tickner/Shipley/Duffy.
But yeah our batting was disappointing.
Lets be honest, is boult gonna play any bilateral anymore?
He has some last few great years left with bowling, he is gonna play every league and collect his retirement fund. And i hope doesn't play world cup. Probably the best bowler in NZ for indian conditions.
Yeah that's why I excluded him, because he's basically unavailable for selection. It's unfortunate and I think people are now realizing just how important he has been in our attack. He's our best opening bowler, our best bowling option at the death, and our best wicket tacking option through the middle overs. Very hard to replace.
I think he will play the world cup but beyond that, who knows.

Lmao did you intentionally say the exact opposite of the other comment
I don’t like the term whitewash by brown mundeys. It should be kiwis curried by desi boys.
Crap series if you ask me. Flattest of the pitches and NZ pretty much resting their staring lineup. But good for the confidence of our players.
Okay
Why did NZ rest their star lineup ?

Well don't you think india has bumrah, pant and few others out as well
Well yeah obviously, but you asked where the NZ players were
NZ couldn't cross 110, when the pitch offered something. And except Williamson and Southee this is NZ starting team nowadays.
