T20 WC - Black Caps v West Indies

[Donsteppa]

I'd like to think that being useless and bundled out of a World Cup early might shake up NZ Cricket.

But given what NZC have tolerated over the last two home summers, and how they also run the White Ferns, it's probably wishful thinking...

Williamson has had a shocker here managing his bowlers. They could sneak to 150 in a worst case scenario

If he was any more passive, he'd be Tom Latham. Somehow we've ended up with some pretty pedestrian captaincy options.

Ending up with Mitchell and Santner bowling the last two overs is an absolute fail as a captain.

Mitch and Mitch get smoked at the end.

Kane tried a BMac - bowl out your best bowlers and hope not to have to use the weak links. Unfortunately, the best bowlers only got nine wickets and Rutherford was there to punish us at the end.

We need 37.5 edges past the keeper to thrid man or past the stumps to fine leg to win this game, which I fear is 17.5 edges too many...

We'll likely manage ten inside edges onto middle & leg...

I don't understand how we managed to end up needing Mitchell to bowl the 19th. Awful.

The same reason we didn't have a warm up game. Absolute clown operation

[Cyclops]

Gambling on santner bowling the 20th I wouldn't have minded as much when they're 7 down with 5 overs to go. So give santner the 16th, leaving the 19th for neesh and 20 for Santner. But to be forced to bring on a cold bowler who is at best a mediocre part timer to bowl is criminal.

[Chris B.]

Looks like it should have been Matt Henry for Santner.

[MN5]

Oh shit, when I posted it was 112/9 and I thought it was all over. Awkward.

Chasing 150 ? Yeah no chance, book the flights home boys, we’re fucked.

[No Quarter]

Conway is just a walking wicket. From a WI POV, they will want Allen ASAP.

[MN5]

Ravindra in at three. Time for the fern favourite to perform.

MN5 vs AI?

He performed as well as you'd expect from his previous T20 goes at bat.

It did.

[Donsteppa]

At least we won't have to avoid scheduling matches against Pakistan during the IPL next year.

Changed it's tune now hasn't it!

Stick to chess, mofo!!!

Pooran should have ended us with a run-out.

Sneaky fiddy from Neesh and we're a chance here.
