During Joe Root and Jonathan Trott's inspiring partnership, Brendan McCullum was at fix. He had lost his wicket-keepr BJ Watling with an injured knee and spinner Bruce Martin due to a calf injury. But he didn't step back to take sterner actions. He employed Kane Wailliamson and Tim Sountee to hit back right into the match.
Southee was wicketless in the first innings but like a Lion he roared with three wickets in 17 deliveries. He paid back the faith of his skipper. It was nothing but hitting the right length - a touch fuller. Though Kane Williamson's fast, quickish offies were a Kiwis delight but an alarming one as well. Graeme Swann will licking his fingers after watching the ball turn, zip and bounce from the roughened areas.
My point is, about McCullum's captaincy. During the drinks break he along with Williamson threw away stern words which encouraged his men to give their best amid a hopeless situation. That's how a captain should be - bold, innovative and unfazed by adversity. A captain's mind must work more actively when the situation is demanding. I remember Shakib's strong leading capacity when he used lose his main strike bowler Mashrafe Mortaza in the middle of a match due to injuries.
Mushfiq, do listen to this. By the way, are you following this Test match or still crying like a baby? Are the Tigers following the Lord's Test match?
