I don't mind him going to Neesham, you need someone slow medium to dry things up. But he gifted them a six with the loosener off the first ball and took all the pressure off.

Bring back Boult and hope he can get a wicket or two, otherwise these 2 have it in the bag.

FFS, misfield gets Marsh off strike. Santner looked good against him throwing it up last over.

Did New Zealand 1st 10 overs cost them they where 57/1, when they should have scored at least 70
Yes, though caution was partly justified because in selecting 5 bowlers and losing Conway, there are only 5 batsmen worth something in the side.

Been put in perspective I suppose, Hazlewood was terrific in the powerplay. But it’s been a ragged bowling effort to say the least, 200 probably wouldn’t be defended.

Don’t know if Santner’s struggling to control the ball but quite mystifying to see him drop short to Marsh.

Fmd Marsh hits the ball so hard he should be charged with something
I genuinely don't think I've seen a cricketer hit the ball flat harder than he does. Other batsman have hit it harder and longer in the air, but I haven't seen anyone consistently hit it as hard as he does along the carpet as he does.

Would've liked to see Santner bowl some of the really floaty full balls to Marsh. Tempt him and get him to lose his shape, he's got a couple to spin like that as well.
