England coach admits O’Rourke burst was too goodHenry dismisses Crawley cheaply for fifth innings in row
England tend to push a coach out the dressing room door after a blowout with the bat and on the second day in Hamilton, with control of the third Test having been seized by New Zealand, this dubious honour fell to Paul Collingwood.
There was not much Collingwood could say to ease the mood following England’s collapse to 143 all out although Brendon McCullum’s assistant did his best. As well as insisting complacency was not an issue, there was high praise for Will O’Rourke, whose stellar burst of three wickets in eight balls wiped out Jacob Bethell, Joe Root and Harry Brook.
