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

Be one of the first 20 callers, and we'll give you another ten shirts absolutely free! That's right! 11 shirts for the price of one! Call within the next 20 minutes and you'll receive all of this for $1.25.

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.

Give me a free set of Ginzu steak knives and I'll take them!

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!

So……
Are NZ officially out or is there still that niggly, shitty, clutching at every straw imaginable “mathematical” chance that we’re still a possibility to get through ?
Officially out. The combination of results now required for us to get through probably requires dodgy bookies.

Happy to miss all of this game although I did check the score occasionally. It started well.
Many of us said that not selecting Seifert in the squad was a mistake. That's on Stead and Wells.
Mitchell has bowled two overs (both the 19th) so far and conceded 35 runs.
Stead's reason for not playing any warmup games was that the IPL players arrived late, and the Black Caps requested later warm-up games due to the late arrival of players, but were denied by officials. I've no idea if Conway was in India but the likes of him could have done with some games.
Black Craps indeed.

Surely with late arrivals from IPL you still schedule pre-tournament fixtures for the remaining players who haven’t just been playing IPL.
Aussie played warmup games without their IPL players and the coaching staff fielded to make up the numbers
