Coney & Smith Slam Mitchell For 'not Defined By The Outcomes' Comment After Series Loss To Australia
Jeremy Coney: Former cricketers Jeremy Coney and Ian Smith have slammed all-rounder Daryl Mitchell’s comments over the New Zealand team "not being defined by the outcomes" post the 2-0 series loss to Australia at home.
New Zealand were primed to win their first Test against Australia on home soil since 1993 with the visitors resuming day four’s play from 77/4 in a chase of 279. Australia soon became 80/5, but a 140-run partnership between Mitchell Marsh (80) and Alex Carey (98 not out), followed by 32 not out from captain Pat Cummins helped the visitors’ win the Christchurch Test by three wickets.
After the game ended, Mitchell said New Zealand won’t be defined by the outcomes of a Test match, but instead the side will focus on how they play their cricket in the longer format.
