*Official* Australia in New Zealand T20s 2021

So what spinner do we bring in for the final game? It's going to be slow as **** and spinning square after another two days.
Or go full 1980s flashback to suit the uniform and pick a dibbly dobbly medium pacer. Hello Will Williams!
I thought Kane missed a trick by not going all in on spin when Santner of all people was turning it.

The answer my friend is blowing in the (Wellington) wind ...

Well that was pretty embarrassing. Time for Seifert to go. He’ll go fine whirly-dirlying against minnow opponents, but ge’s been thoroughly exposed in this series. Guptill and Conway to open from now on.

Honestly was pretty stunned that Kane didn’t pitch a couple of overs today. It was obvious it was ragging from Santner’s first over. I know he doesn’t trust his own bowling, but he needs to get over it in conditions like this.

Don't mind losing if we get closer but feels like we didn't have a plan good to go about chasing this. Losing by say 5-10 runs in the last over is fine but we never really got going through out. Disappointing...

The most disappointing I think is losing so badly when the Aussies don't have Warner, Smith, Starc and Cummins. They're well and truly showing their depth in this series.

Ferguson is our best T20 bowler outside of Santner and we ended up losing a game Santner didn't play. Don't think it's that bad. Australia are a good team.

Munro????

I'd prefer to give Allen a crack before seeing Munro back, that guy was a walking wicket in every format.
Was still decent in t20s for NZ, but I'd prefer to give Allen a run as well.

No room for Milne if Ferguson is fit ... and I see he's aiming to make the Bangladesh t20s.

Tbf, Wade has been about as useful as a condom machine in the Vatican, Cummins isn't great in the format and I don't know that Smith would have really added much.

Either which way, we do need to work out who our third spinner is. Could use both a pure bowler as a squad backup to Santner and Sodhi (who isn't reliable either), and a part-timer who can bat.

Definitely a good team, but still an Australian team missing four of their starting lineup, we should be doing better.

One of the best in the recent Big Bash season. He's an upgrade on Seifert I think, and I think we'll need his experience going into the WC. Allen will get his chances post WC.

Not a big t20 fan but not fun to see how awful our t20 team is. We can be sk much better.
We bat the first 6 overs way too much like an Odi. Not just today.
Too much strategic thinking imo.

You need to keep hitting even if you are 10/2 in t20s.
Someone like siefert has no place hitting 19 off 27. Hit out or get out.

Bring back munro?

Munro in recent BBL: 443 runs @ 31, SR 128, 4 x 50s and 2 x 40s in 14 innings. Against some of the bowlers that have made Siefert a walking wicket.
