Yeh the third test, the nightmare one where they lost a lot of players but yet they left out southee coz of the amount of workload he had over the previous tests
They played him in the pink ball test which obviously he would get assistance being a swing bowler but then at the swing bowling graveyard mcg he got plastered as did the others and then he got rested at the scg
The kiwis haven't played much overseas in last 2 years apart from the Aus tour, not enough variety in sample size I reckon - I was looking at the UAE tour in 2018 and they picked him for just one test there too, seems like they really want to keep him fresh for the times they pick him
