*Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

Hoo hoo. Looks like it won't be a particularly comfortable chase. Guptill and Young didn't get forward at all. Young's having a shocker considering he actually had game time in the CC at the start of the season.

Most interesting to see how Allen deals with this.

Nice innings from Allen, judicious with the big shots for the most part. Disappointing from Nicholls and Phillips though, on not sticking around with Latham to bring this home.

So yet again we barely got there. Watched fair bit of our bowling. Got to say Ireland cannot bat. They're so out of sorts with the bat. Can't say we're any better but Irish batting just looks so out of it. Still lucky we won the toss both times otherwise we'll have lost both games.

Looking at how we bowled to Ireland we have no other choice but to continue to use Boult, Southee, Lockie, Milne lineup for few more years and hope they don't get injured or hope Sears comes in and blows the opponents away. If we used any of the bowlers that bowled to Ireland barring Santner we'll be smashed all over the park.

As for the guys doing well, they should get more than their share of fillings vs Ireland, Dutch and Scotland. It's going to get ugly later on.

I'd really like to see Bracewell taken to West Indies. Definitely deserves a longer look and bowling off spin to those guys will tell us loud and clear if he can play vs the big boys.

What will it take for cleaver to get a game? Why not in place of Nicholls? Is Nicholls so good he can't be dropped?
