*Official* Australia in New Zealand T20s 2021

Feel like NZ have done this a bit over the years:
- New player selected for NZ based on good record in one format.
- Play well in that format for NZ.
- Selectors decide they might as well play another format or two for NZ.
- Lose form in that format.
- Lose form in the format they were originally good at.
- Dropped from all formats

I think Jamieson is better than that, but I would've been quite happen to leave him as a test-only player for a while. His bank account might not have been, admittedly.
Certainly looks as though it could go this way. Unless Jamieson has a sensational IPL, I wouldn't be taking him to the World Cup on the back of his bowling in this series. We certainly need to try some other options in the 5th T20 and the Bangladesh series.

I think this is reasonable and par score. We'll struggle to get there unless Kane does some magic. Perfectly suited for Kane and Conway show.

Guppy getting us off to a flier would be nice. Conway getting us free zinger burgers would be been better.

The spark sport commentary team at the start of the summer was a lot better eh? But maybe they just have a Test lineup and a different one for shorter forms?

Phillips has underperformed this summer, aside from that century. Expect more from him than Seifert, but he hasn't been very good.

Guppy, Seifert and Phillips are not well know for playing spin. It'd be interesting to see how they'll go.

Would have to presume they’re using these games to try things as far as bowling combinations is concerned, otherwise why not bowl Jimmy when he iced the game in Dunedin (yeah he got pounded last game but did the one over job he was given at the death last time out)
