Why does McCullum get a pass around here?

Now there's balls, and there's absolute stupidity, I think we know what his WC final innings falls under, did he think it was a super over? There is no excuse for not taking at least a few overs to get the feel of things, fact is his ego was more important than his team.

McCullum did indeed err in going after Starc instead of going after bowler at the other end (Hazlewood or Johnson). Starc was at his peak and it was foolhardy to take him on when there are other bowlers to taget. I do blame NZ think-tank and McCullum for not understanding the situation better and changing tactics, especially when McCullum was already beaten the first 3 deliveries he faced against Starc. Maybe the reason he gets a pass is that i) He had a great world cup, ii) Aussie team was so much superior to Kiwis that McCullum wouldn't have made a difference anyway.
