    Why send out Latham now?

    Kane got done by a slower one and Latham’s poor form continued.

    Gave it a crack but we're gonna end up quite short.

    Great effort from the batters, can't criticise them really.

    Avoided embarassment so well done to the batsmen.

    Unearthed a star in Ravindra, made the semi finals (admittedly in a weak world cup) - a good world cup for a flawed team.

    Bowlers were pathetic. Boult and Southee are past it and Ferguson was really disappointing

    We bowled too many short balls, took far too long to bowl slower balls and why we didn't bowl yorkers at the end is beyond me. Restrict them to 350 and we would have had a decent chance. Henry was a big loss.

    Probably not a bad tournament in the end, especially allowing for the state of the bowling attack, and Tom Latham being a passenger.

    The IPL auction might be very interesting to watch this year for Rachin Ravindra…

    Beaten by a better team - I've always thought we go to the short ball way too often and don't have the pace to get away with it. Always thought that we needed early wickets to stand a chance, much too popgun to restrict India otherwise.

    Once India was able to bat first the script became predictable. My only surprise was hearing that NZ got that close.

    Going to be a very long innings me thinks.

    We've set 400 so we can chase it. No issues there.

    The issue will be whether we can chase the 430 that we will need.

    I don’t think we can chase 400 against this Indian bowling lineup. 350 possibly but even then.

    Other than Mitchell and Kane I worry about our guys against Bumrah and the spin

    Remarkably prescient apart from which Indian would shatter our hopes.

    When both openers go for 13 you know things aren’t going to go right.

    Ah well, semis yet again, pretty damn respectable.

    Everyone has had a go at the bowlers but is it time to have a rethink about Tom Latham in the shorter form of the game ? His form fell off a cliff.

    Lots of talk of criticism of our bowlers, but I think if you take scoreboard pressure out of it we would have got 350-370.

    Given all the advantages India had, that’s not far off so perhaps this criticism is slightly unfair. Indian bowling line up is pretty awesome.

    The bowling performance was a repeat of the South African,Pakistani and Australia games resulting in the same results.
    Time to move on and development a new breed of bowlers to support what is a very good batting group, the strongest man for man we have had in a long while our top 4 are all big performers and our middle to lower order do a good job.

    35 year old one trick ponies are not going to help us compete against the top sides our batting can.

    Yeah Shami was on fire.

    Bumrah and Siraj put us under pressure early by getting the ball to move and Shami did his thing.

    Mitchell played very well. Got a bit of luck but he was aggressive. Kane got set and then started to play his shots. He was very disappointed with his dismissal because even though he didn’t middle it, he got a decent shot on it.

    Who gives a sh!t about the pitch. C'mon. It's an ODI. It's a pitch full of runs that is easy to bat on. Broadly like every other ODI pitch for the last 30 years.
