Shocking captaincy by Brendon McCollum. Totally naive in his over attacking approach. Should have turned the screw rather than pressing all out.
This..
He does this when he's fielding too, chasing balls that are obviously going to make it to the boundary.
Just an example of him being aggressive to the point of being silly at times.

I didn't say that he was in an idiot. Just in the context of the second hour of the session he lost the plot a bit and let England get away. That's poor.

He lives by the sword and dies by it - he gave a great interview on five live in the week, talking about playing cricket that suits NZ and their personnel, how everyone buys into it and how he leads from the front.

If that means he loses the occasional session, so be it is his attitude.  At the time of writing England are 4 down for less than 150 - he probably felt he had leeway to keep attacking before the deck evens out.  I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and I love the way he plays the game; he's got an excellent cricket brain and he as much as anyone has developed the type of long term strategy that England crave.

Yeah, all to do with sponsorship deals. Remember when a ball went through his grill when he wore GM?
