T20 WC - Black Caps v West Indies
-
150 was an excellent score on this pitch. Those last 2 overs from Santner and Mitchell really cost us any chance of winning.
-
wow, cant remember the last time we didn't qualify, although Im sure there will be an article on it soon

Where's Lance Cairns when you need him?

These tournaments are about getting Tier 2 nations exposure to the higher levels, so in that regard it's worked...

Looked up when we last missed the semis at a world cup - was 2014. Pretty good run. Worth noting that we're not even going to make the super 8 stage here, which makes this our worst performance since, well, ever. Since tournaments got bigger to have either a second group stage or quarter finals we've always progressed.

On the bright side, this is one kit that can be retired and become a collector's item.
I suspect the effort bringing that uniform back was the most NZ cricket put into this world cup

i sort of missed this was even a thing. how the fuck do you have a "world cup" 19 months after the last one. Why does anyone give a shit about this? International T20 can die in a fucking fire. Franchise cricket TV filler format.

NZ Cricket don't.
Neither of our opening batsmen had played since February. The majority of the others hadn't played since April.
The guys who played (weren't just squaddies) in the IPL have played more recently - but, in India.
But, we didn't need any warm-up games.
At least the team has put in plenty of practice spending time with their families.
Don Corleone will be pleased!
