Black Caps vs Pakistan Series
-
It was always going to be difficult to keep to the required run rate against a quality Pakistan bowling lineup. Meh, if we were really worried about our win record we would have picked our best side.
It's only a T20...

Yeah credit to Pakistan. All series they've bowled well at the death so makes sense that it would be tough to score fast against them.

@mn5 will be stoked: Santner now has his highest T20I score
It's a shame he's too small/skinny to hit a 6

A couple more lusty blows may get him to the elusive 50 required to secure his place in the test team.

The batters must all be feeling like chumps as the lower order made them all look silly.
It will be a long time before any international team get lobbed as many gimme catches in one game as they did tonight.Taylor has to be picked ahead of Bruce, who has done didly squat since being picked. We were exposed tonight with our lack of experience in the middle order, Rosco would have helped that no end.
Flush the dunny and move on.

I can't keep up with all of Hesson's rotations but surely he needs to select the best XI for Sunday.
I don't think Rossco is in Sunday's squad - I think it's today's XI plus Southee, Ferguson and Kitchen. I'd bring in Southee and Ferguson for Wheeler and Rance.
To get to our best team, I think Rossco comes in for Bruce and then the question is whether Phillips is the best option at keeper (and where he should bat in the order).
Given the current selectors' philosophy of giving players plenty of chances, I'm pretty sure he'll be persisted with for a while yet. I'd be inclined to persist with batting him at three as a pinch hitter - unless they would decide to push CdGh higher.
