Definitely wouldn’t prefer Allen after the working over Kugz has given him in their last few ford trophy games. Reckon he’ll be found out as quickly as Seifert has.

Allen ain't available for selection anymore from what I know in any case.

More importantly, Munro being a ‘walking wicket’ in T20I was just never a thing. Did nothing to get dropped.

Seifert is having a poor series but Finch was 24 off 27. It was a difficult wicket. Not many people were timing it well.

Good to hear, guess we'll see how he goes against the big gun bowlers!

It's he gets a game at all that is.
Comes at the cost of 4 plunkett shield games and maybe black caps selection as well vs Bangladesh.
Is that good? I'm not so sure.

Given the World T20 is over there and he hasn't played there before, I think it's pretty good experience, if he gets a go.

Good to hear, hopefully he gets a chance to play some games and is in a team where he can learn from some of the best players in the world.

Would prefer to reserve my thoughts on this for when the series is done, but one thing I’m definitely concerned about is the inflexibility- being too slow to adapt when conditions not favour or when situation not going according to script. With three games on the trot here as well as the women’s series, I don’t think the way the surface is playing should be a surprise anyway.

Kiwi fans have to be the most reactionary on here. A week ago you couldn't stop going on about how good the team was and how gun certain players are, and now it's all about how crap the team is and players are terrible lol
It's ****ing T20 cricket whoever wins is like 80% luck

Hey hey whoa (and to your other posts) - we won the first two games. It's 2-all.
This pitch is going to suit Australia better because they have 3 frontline ish spinners and probably play spin better than us as a collective.
Remember that game was meant to be in Auckland and the next at the Mount, but it'll end up being on another dust bowl, which to be honest, Australia start raging favourites for.
But to get carried away like that, saying they think we're inferior, like it means one level of a **** towards the WTC final is getting a bit silly I'd reckon.
I have to admit the way we've played on this deck hasn't overly thrilled me, like we had plans on how we wanted to play at Eden Park and we've just rolled with them regardless. Seifert needed to go harder against the new ball yesterday because it was obvious that once that got older and coupled with the wearing of the wicket, it would be harder to score. 19 off 27 was criminal. The amount of singles was pretty piss poor. And honestly, I know Kane hates bowling but I'd like to think they would consider bowling him or Phillips on Sunday - it's much better than bringing Jamieson back late to give pace on the ball and clearly he's not skilled yet at hitting death lengths.
Stead tried to blame intent and how we went about it but I think our approach has been off too. I know it's just another T20 series who cares, but they should take them all seriously. Feel like we've gone through the motions in some respects.
