Yeah if any country has struggled at test level due to anyone decent playing T20 it's them.
That top order is Black Caps mid 90s bad.

The time is ripe for a Kerry Packer style "Supertest" rebellion - hiring all the batsmen that would rather bat like Bradman and Boycott, rather than BMac.
Fines to be issued for excessive runrates....

Rahul Dravid could get a recall......I remember falling asleep watching on the couch when he came out to bat then waking up about half an hour later and he was still on 0.......
I bet that Sunny Gavaskar used to get a raging chunk when that happened

Damn right.
Legend at test level ( if a bit slow.....)
Check out this scorecard, I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't in front of me, did no one inform him you can't bat out a draw in an ODI ?

Worth noting his overall record from 108 matches was 3092 runs at 35.13 at a decent strike rate ( for the era ) of 62.26.
So fuck knows what he was thinking during this game.

Interesting to see you can watch it on Disney + as well
Thanks for that - I had wondered where tf it was after Amazon Prime had the WTC
ESPN is on Disney +, they have quite a bit of sport on there now

Rob Walter hasn't wasted time in making his mark on selection. Conway dropped for the T20 Tri-Series against Zimbabwe and SA. Seifert is now the first-choice WK.
Mitch Santner (captain), Finn Allen, Tim Seifert, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Bevon Jacobs, Michael Bracewell, Matt Henry, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes, Will O’Rourke.

That could be it for Conway. Not getting any younger and in a massive rut in terms of form.

Pretty hard to disagree with that, even when Conway's scored runs the last 2 seasons he's looked out of sorts.
Coaching in cricket is always a balancing act when a good player is out of form - you need to give them some time to try to regain form, but at the same time you can't just keep selecting them over new prospects longer term if they don't regain it.
I think Stead erred too much on the side of continuing to pick his established players despite poor results (Southee, Nicholls come to mind). I'm pretty happy if Walter is a bit more cut throat in that regard.

Yeah Conway had a magic start but his form has absolutely fallen off a cliff.
Will Young has done the opposite and showed he needs to be persevered with although it’s still a concern a big score in the longest form has eluded him.

Shame to see Mitch Hay miss out, thought had looked good in his appearances last season
He hasn't really nailed down t20 batting, yet. Even at domestic level. Looks like Seifert is who they are inking in for that for this T20 cycle.
The decision of Blundell or Hay for the upcoming test squad will be interesting, though.

Yeah I agree they should be developing him he is the best WK in NZ and showed enough for Canterbury and NZ in 20/20 to be selected.
Siefert is a hit and miss Wk who gets untidy in 20/20 you can't afford to let runs through behind the wicket a good 20/20 bat.
