We have to look to score because sooner or later one [ball] will have your name on it. There's no point hanging around for that, so we'll come out with positive intent starting at the top with [Martin] Guptill and [Tom] Latham. Hopefully we'll have a bit of luck, then anything's possible.
That is not the sort of batting plan I want to hear from the coach about our test match opening batsmen.
It's a perfectly good plan if your name is Brendan McCullum. For everyone else it sucks
