Nothing much to take from this game. I expect us to be ok-ish on this eng tour. We will qualify for the semis even without KW i'm sure cuz we're a tournament team. We will likely lose to a pak or australia in a KO and on we go with the cycle

Doesn't matter, I'm going to bring it up as a meme every time it's suggested he bowls for the rest of his career now. It's a death sentence of a commentary bit - just ask Ross.

I don't even know how Seifert in in the NZ team. Picked on potential shown 5 years ago perhaps - but he doesn't have the numbers behind him to justify a spot in the Blackcaps. Got a couple scores against a weak SL team early this year, but that's it.
To be honest I don't think NZ is a good white ball team currently.

Santner's fine at #7. He's absolutely destroyed the Super Smash recently.

Yeah just stop trying to bat him at 3.
Agreed, he'd be a better 8 but at 7, he should be coming in with 4-5 overs to go max, which he is well capable of. If he comes in with 8 overs to go, not as effective.
Ain't this the truth. I don't remember a time (and if there was a T20I, I don't care to remember) where Lockie actually bowled well. He went OK in the last ODI in India when everyone else got carted, but geez it's been slim pickings for him for NZ since his outstanding 2019 World Cup. Batsmen look very comfortable playing him. Milne should be ahead of him in the pecking order.

The last time I remember Lockie bowling well was the first T20i of the 2020/21 summer when he put the wind up the windies and came away with 4 or 5 for sfa. That was as fast as I've ever seen him bowl and also one of his last games before injuries of various shades kept him out for the better part of a year, and he hasn't looked the same since.

More of New Zealand fans rubbishing their team. We recently squeaked the win in a tight series against *UAE* so not much can be expected against mighty England in their own back yard. When world cricket icon KW is not in the T20 team it is just not respected, sure there are some class players are there like Conway….but there’s a whole lot of Ilford Second II players making up the numbers. Guys that can slog a few in the CPL and the ‘Super Mash’ but are often all-at-sea in international cricket - although they are real plucky triers.
