Sorry to be that guy, but a few technical points to be raised.

1) that gaffe vs NZ was not a wicket keeping mistake, it was a fielding mistake. Mushy is a terrible fielder so as long as he’s in the XI, giving him the benefit of gloves and standing as close to the stumps as possible is actually the safest move. In the infield he will be a disaster and in the outfield he would not stop any fours. Only solution is to leave him out of the XI, but given that he is one of our best batsmen WK it is.

2) Mushy did take a tough for his height at least catch vs De Grandhomme later in the game, so that cancels out. The bowlers had a chance to seal the win and couldn’t. Can’t just blame one run out against a team as good as NZ.

These are just basic cricketing points.
