So again. We talked about this during the ashes. Stoneman kind of does ok for 30-50 ish then for some reason decides to start playing all mannor or aggressive shots and gets out. It’s simpky brain dead batting.
Test batting isn’t All about skill but is about the mental side.. this game again means runs were meaningless. He didn’t need to play an attacking shot as England can’t win the game.. he was purely playing for the draw as NZ have batted us out the game.. it’s just stupid

All that load of utter garbage this modern set of players come out with
Oh and cook looks done again in all bar his 200 odd in the ashes
Agree with you to a certain extent. The best players seem either to have a low score or a very big score, look at Williamson for example, Stoneman seems to be in between
He is getting runs and doing ok....it's a bit odd I agree. We need big scores as everyone knows you can get a good ball or unlucky early in an innings
Everything seems to get blamed on the modern game, for me it's just a question of how mentally tough you are.
The best batsmen in the world at the moment bat big, big hundreds....that has nothing to do wi modern play, it's just how good you are
I would stick with Stoneman and I like Malan....but we need so one else coming in who is 'good enough' to bat for a day on his own
