Gary Stead throws his weight behind misfiring Kane Williamson

New Zealand

Among the decisions that did not come off for Williamson was his usage of Trent Boult in the first game against Australia. New Zealand were defending 232 and Boult had picked up three wickets in his first four overs. But he was taken off after his fifth over and then brought back on only in the 29th over, by when Alex Carey and Cameron Green had managed to get in and take Australia towards safety. Boult’s statement compounded the matter when, after the match, he said, “I thought of having a sixth, and maybe a seventh or eighth [over]. Not too sure what the thinking was there.”
