Cricket legend’s blunt admission on misfiring Kiwis
Former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum likened the Kiwis’ performance in the T20 World Cup final to bringing a gun to a fight, except they “didn’t fire the bullets we took”.www.news.com.au
I'm thinking Mr Humble took a wet lettuce leaf to his gunfight in the 2015 WC final.

McCullum referenced Martin Guptill’s innings as one example of when the Kiwis’ foot should have been placing the accelerator to the floor rather than just a light push on it.
“I just expected a bit more from (Martin Guptill), he got 28 off 35 balls in the final and that in isolation doesn’t look great,” McCullum said.
“But then when you strip it down, he was 16 off 15 to get under way in the final, and then his next 20 balls he scored 12 runs, that’s the time where you need to be accelerating, and all it did was (take) the air out of us.
“(That was) the most glaringly obvious part of our batting.”
