    Excellent comeback innings by Kane.

    Fantastic hat trick by Little. Quality balls.

    185 might have been a little short given the position we were in. But in terms of an Ireland chase, they will have to bat extremely well.

    Boult will like the look of that drift that Little got.

    All pretty nicely paced until we made a total bollocks of the 19th over.

    Bring on Ireland! đŸ™‚

    Thank God the Fern don't select the team eh? Great knock from the captain, extremely important in the context of the game where the other batsmen were struggling to time the ball.

    Anyway 185 should be more than enough, if not then we can talk about dropping some of our bowlers that have been found out

    If you can't defend 185 against Ireland you don't deserve to make the semis

    @No-Quarter Yeah - we should have got 195 after 18 overs, but I think it's enough barring a freak show.

    One of these two have to start being more aggressive FFs frustrating to watch.
    Too passive while our hitters are sitting on the sidelines.

    NZ seem very rigid with their batting order. If Neesham came in before Mitchell to have a left-right combination, he might have lasted more than one ball.

    Are you watching on delay?

    Lot of negative nellies on here. 185 is a good score in a T20. It isn't an amazing score but it is certainly above par, no matter the wicket.

    If we bowl reasonably well then we will win. If we don't then we don't deserve to make the semis.

    I'd be amazed and depressed if it isn't enough.

    Whilst I agree they have should have score more in the last two overs, one of my pet peeves about limited overs cricket is how with projected totals commentators will take the absolute peak projected total and then say "they'll be disappointed they didn't quite reach X score".

    Well sure, but innings ebb and flow, you can't assume everything will go right for you in an innings, you aren't just going to smash 12 an over for 6 overs straight or whatever it is.

    If you look at the Black caps projected total for that innings from about 11 overs onwards it hovered around 175-190 depending on the over.

    Such lazy commentary.

    Anyway rant over.

    Let’s hope Ferg can match Kane by also stepping up his game tonight
