T20 World Cup 2021

Phillips could definitely keep for 20 overs if required and he would be as good as Seifert. Conway is probably just as good a keeper as them as well however none of them are as good as Latham, Blundell or Watling but this is T20 so not as important.
The reason Phillips doesn't keep anymore is because he wants to a spin bowler which is quite smart if you think about it. He is probably not as good in this department as Santner but if I had to choose between him and Santner to play a test match NZ, the choice is obvious given we have four awesome pace bowlers.
@Rapido I like your team but would probably switch Astle for either Chapman or Mitchell unless the pitch was going to like the ones in Bangladesh, in which case it would be either Milne or Boult to miss out.
@Chris-B Jamieson is not T20i quality yet, not sure how he managed to make the squad (based on test reputation I guess?). Also, I'm not convinced about Southee in this format. He has proved time and time again he is not a good death bowler and it was his over (the 17th) that turned the game Pakistan's way the other day.
There are going to 40 Super Smash games on TVNZ this summer!

Dear Lord, the England Cricket team absolutely spanked the Aussies in the T20 World Cup in Dubai.

8 days in,and NZ have still only played 1 match. Most teams have played 3.
Possibly, our tournament hopes may be extinguished by day 9 anyway. First 2 games are v the group top seeds.
What a stupid draw.
ah, having India Pakistan early was brave too. That's one of the biggest matchups in world sport, full stop.

There is a an even number of teams in the draw isn't there? No reason why one team should have played one game while others have played 3. I meant the match schedule is stupid
