Halliday, Martin & Mackay lack power at 6,7 and 8, hopeless just working singles when they also need to hit more boundaries as well... have to bring in some of the bigger hitters like Rowe, Tahuhu & J.kerr ahead of some of those 3 at times depending how the game is going, should've done that against South Africa.
Tahuhu and Rowe didn't even trouble the scorer, and neither are reliable batters at international level. The fact is that the NZ tail is long and SA bowled much better in their death overs than NZ did. We saw what Kapp could do at the end when quick runs were needed.
To be fair though they had to come in swinging before they could get their eye in properly - if our top 5 can put good partnerships together to put us in a strong position Halliday, Mackay & Martin's slow scoring rates isn't that much of a problem... but if the top 5 don't go that's well we need to adjust & by bringing in those players by at least having one of them at one end, when they do have time to get their eye in they score very quickly.

@nzbloke Compared to their teammates, you can't blame Martin (SR: 112.5) and Halliday (SR: 82.75) for slow scoring rates in last night's game. Green and Mackay definitely weren't scoring quick enough. NZ doesn't have a power hitter in the lower order. Tahuhu might do that at domestic level but averages <10 @ 77 in ODIs.

In general Martin is a low scorer, she can hit a 4 playing a cut shot using the pace of the ball, but so can everyone else, but lacks a lot of power in her shots, for example only have to watch her drive a ball etc... also Martin struggles to turn the strike over, so starves the batter at the other end.
Other than Tahuhu, Rome & Kerr obviously have the power to hit the ball for 6. -
Go the Banglas, they lose this one & NZ are basically out of the tournament

are they? I thought this was pretty irrelevant; if anything it opens up the Windies dropping games against SA as well and going out.

With the Windies getting the two points they jumped ahead of us & we're playing pretty erratically... also never a great position to be in when you have to keep winning & rely on other results going your way.
Blanglas stuffed up a great opportunity to beat the Windies... they only had to score a bit under 3 runs per over to get over the line.

We are 134/3 after 30.3 overs, but Devine is also retired hurt with a sore back, so even if she comes back she'll likely be hampered.
The other three of the big 4 haven't done enough. We're going to need the lesser lights to bat out of their skins or we're fucked.
I'm going with Option b.

So if we go on to lose this and miss the semis it must go down as one of the great hosting chokes?
I can't quite make my mind up, it would be a choke, and yet also not very surprising...
