King Kane
International Vice-Captain
He is close to our no.1 strike bowler in ODIs now with no Boult or Ferguson, Henry is a good solid bowler but he doesn't have the X factor of O'Rourke.

100% - I was more devasted with that game than the WC Final against England.

To be honest I think if NZ had this bowling attack in 92 they would have won the whole thing, very very impressive bowling so far. Pakistan are getting squeezed.

12 balls without a run. Something's gonna give
Pakistan lacks fearlessness to chase 320. They might've done it against second string lineups, but this is a potent NZ attack. They had only one aggressive batter at the top and he's injured too. All others are spoiler batters who aren't going to pose much of a threat.
Seriously, 20-1 in 8 overs chasing 320 is quite pathetic. You're putting immense pressure on yourself. Babar isn't going to score at 7-8 runs an over against spin, Santner and Bracewell are very good defensive bowlers.
The issue with Pakistan is that they're a very bowling heavy side and their bowlers don't take enough wickets to make up for their impotent batting. And their batters just try to stay there and score runs for themselves.

Yeah Rohit at Dharmasala in the 2023 WC was a good example of what to do against Henry.
Pretty much a dream start for NZ, impressive with the new ball.

Despite New Zealand being 2 words we'd actually only count as 1 semi finalist

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Phillips with another screamer but knowing him he'll drop a sitter later on
