After New Zealand’s unexpected defeat to the hands of England in the recently concluded Test series series, the chief selector for the Blackcaps has castigated the Test side for not seizing the “key moments”, with hosts England taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
New Zealand have lost both the Tests by five wickets and head into the third game at Leeds from June 23 hoping to salvage a consolation win to end the tour on a high. On the other hand, England under new coach, former New Zealand legend Brendon McCullum, have reversed their string of defeats in the Ashes and on the tour of West Indies and are looking to make a clean sweep of the series.
“It has boiled down to some key moments and that sounds a bit cliche but that’s very factual in the game of cricket, if you don’t seize the key moment then you could be on the wrong side of the result, and I think that’s exactly what’s happened, “I’ve got a variety of thoughts,” Larsen told SENZ Mornings.

He stated on the fact that that Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell — the pair combined scored 527 runs over the four innings — backfired New Zealand would have been far worse.
