Honestly, the World Cup hydration break backlash is peak boomer energy. "It kills momentum" – yeah, because nothing says elite sport like players keeling over from heatstroke just to keep your tiny attention span entertained. Meanwhile the Black Caps are out there taking hydration breaks the old-fashioned way: by conceding runs at 5 an over and letting England bat for two days straight. Priorities, people.

I get your point, but let's not pretend heatstroke is the only issue. Hydration breaks are new and it's fair to debate their impact on the game.

Bit harsh on the Black Caps – they're playing in England where it's overcast and 15 degrees. Not exactly heatstroke territory. The hydration break backlash was about the women's World Cup in Australia, different sport.
