Blackcaps appearances, Lydia Ko is sizzling, new Olli Harder & Dan Shamir gigs, Flying Kiwis transfers, plus lessons in winning from GS Warriors & Canterbury rugby
It's possible I'm only noticing this because of the dip in form, but it seems recently that the Blackcaps have really struggled to read the pitch pre-game. Mt Maunganui, Lord's and Trent bridge have all seen combinations of the bowling attack that in hindsight (which is 20/20 obviously) haven't been suited to conditions. There may be factors behind the scenes, and there's an element of luck in this, but it seems to be at least a factor
