Curran is Chris Harris

NZ: Poor Fielding - bowling options with our three quicks - Conway start - Kane’s run a ball innings
England: winning the toss and batting - hitting in the middle overs - use of bowlers and executing - targeting Kane - death bowling

Once Pihllips was out it was game over, the English bowlers were never going to lose from there bowling at the likes of Sodhi.
Disappointing in the end. Dropping Butler twice was pretty bloody important, and annoying given we usually make teams pay with our catching.
And then really Kane just took up too many balls, and you have to say that cost us the game given we only lost 6 wickets. Needed Neesh out there earlier to give him a chance to get his eye in, but when he finally got out there he just had to go from ball 1.

How different the game could have been if Hales and Buttler had gone out early

Neesh always goes from ball one. Taking on the long side of the ground (through necessity) was the problem there.

All this talk about NRR, when it's much more likely that weather will decide who goes through, or rather... who doesn't.
will it though? People who don't go through will have dropped a game they should have won - Australia getting smoked by us; England losing to Ireland. Weather affects on the fringe, but winners will get ahead.
Hell, if we don't beat Ireland, we don't deserve to go through. A washout against AFG wouldn't disguise that.

For me this match is the one that either exposes us or gives us genuine belief 😱
honestly, I think T20 is a lottery. Two great games in a row and yuo're champs. One piece of bad luck and you're done.
100% lottery. Games are so short and dynamic that one decent player performance can turn a match result. Get a few players firing and you'd be unlucky not to win.
Makes it great entertainment but a poor sport to punt.

All this talk about catches we dropped, let's not forget the lives Phillips had!
Yeah both sides spilled a few easier than chance catches last night. Wasnt the highest quality fielding from either side but particular NZ as we dont usually let ourselves down like that

Our fielding has been poor for a few seasons now hasn't it?

I dont think we typically drop catches like that but perhaps it has. I certainly cant recall the last time we threw down the stumps for a run out!

Weather forecast looks OK for Adelaide on Friday - and Saturday in Sydney for England's game.

Oz has conceded over 100 runs more than us and scored about 75 less (though slightly less overs). Should be nigh on impossible for them to make up that difference - as long as we can beat Ireland.
Sri Lanka isn't a foregone conclusion for England either.
