While replying to a fan's tweet "New Zealand lost series," McClenaghan tweeted “Did they? You mean in meaningless series 72 hours after a WC final defeat with 3 games in 5 days playing a team with 10 days rest in their home conditions?”
In another tweet, he clarified that his comments were made for fun and expressed his desire for New Zealand to win the series.
In another exchange, a fan asked if New Zealand had won the series, what would have been his response? McClenaghan replied, “Well done on a good win with little preparation against a good side.”
