That might be a actually be a reasonable argument based on its own merits, although I'd probably still retain Latham assuming Ravindra is batting at 4 since Young has hardly smashed the door down in his limited opportunities, but either way Southee has to go if we're genuinely wanting to compete against Aust. This car crash was always going to happen when they stupidly named Timmy S (Selfish) as Test skipper. What's worse of all is that his 126km nothingness denies someone else the new-ball.
“Give me the test captaincy or I’m quitting”

Would NZC fold to that kind of shocking ultimatum? It would set a dangerous precedent if any player is allowed to behave like that, effectively carrying out a coup against the existing captain.
I just read people saying that Southee had given NZC an ultimatum that if he didn’t get the test captaincy he’d be going down the Boult route and becoming a T20 franchise road dog.
Southee walked in on an NZC official getting a bj from someone who wasn't their wife. He used this as leverage to get onto a more career fulfilling detail, but still has to work the phones for NZC.
