The Black Caps' latest humiliation on their "tour from Hell" to South Africa shows the team is rudderless and has been woefully outclassed, New Zealand media said Tuesday.
"A mismatch of epic proportions" was the Christchurch Press's take on New Zealand's capitulation in the second and final Test in Port Elizabeth, where the hosts enjoyed a thumping innings victory.
Former national coach David Trist said New Zealand's players "will need counselling in some cases" after a similarly lopsided score in the opening Test, where the Black Caps managed only 45 runs in their first innings.
"It's been the tour from Hell, in more ways than one," Trist told Radio New Zealand. "Nothing has gone right really. It's been a wake-up call for New Zealand cricket."
