New Zealand v West Indies
-
Windies in a pretty strong position going into this over and now it’s almost a run a ball for Blackcaps.

NZ's target is less than WI scored.
I am afraid that makes no sense to me.
If WI knew they were only batting for 16 overs they would have gone harder earlier - not that this necessarily implies more runs. . I would have thought no change would have been about right.
Possibly because WI got 6 overs in the power play, and the BCs only got 5?
Dunno, just guessing...?
-
Santner was fine. But let’s face it, Paul pretty much lost that game for the Windies.
-
Well played in the end by Conway, Neesham and Santner.
Another quick wicket after Rossco’s wicket could have seen us in deep poo.
Lachie Fergusson easily MOTM.
We’ll want to improve our bowling discipline, they won’t be happy with the amount of extras given away.
-
Aussie game is heating up too.
-
That good ND man (Santner) is such an important player for us in white ball cricket.
@Canes4life I've never had any problems with Neesham the batsmen, but don't trust Neesham the bowler.
Bennett is still useless.
-
Great effort from Conway first up, Santner and Neesham are batsmen, not all rounders, Taylor just looks old and that run out was laughable. Not sure how any commentator could say cramp for Phillips when it was so obvious something had happened with his knee. Ouch to kneecap popping out. Excellent bowling by Ferg. Bennett is shit, are we really that hard up for bowlers right now?
Powell easily best of Windies. I'm unsure how that dude was allowed to finish his over after the second head high beamer let alone a third. He bowled terribly, yet no run punishment from our batsmen.
-
Really good win against the odds, after they were 55 after 3 overs.
How good was Fergusson's bowling. Serious pace, great to see it coming from us for a change.
Eden Park is a bit of a dog for T20, ironically better suited for tests as the power hitting isn't so influential and wickets are worth more.
Seifert did well behind teh stumps - pulled in some high deliveries that could easily have disappeared for more.
Given what we were chasing, I wasn't optimistic. However, Neesh adn Conway looked very very good. I'm particularly imprssed with Conway, I suspect he'll be in all forms of NZ cricket for as long as he wants. Neesh made up for some average bowling with some outstanding batting, too.
Overall Spark were OK. Quality of the stream pretty good. Funny to see the scorers struggling ... it's harder than it looks! THey'll only get better from here. Comms team went OK I reckon.

Neeshes batting was as good as his bowling was bad. What a contrast.
Can only echo the good chat about Conway, let’s see more of him before anointing him as the next KW though
