TeaLeaf:
Yep, I think flooding the team with players who can do that consistently, along with 2 players who can go 15-20 overs, really gets us into the 200+ scores, which will be par for the world cup.
Plus two to bat 15 to 20 overs? Thats totally unrealistic.
You'd need to decide of you want a team to set a target from ball 1, a BMC style where you give three big hitters free reign, or if you want an opener partnership to set a foundation. The former, you win if two of the three get a quick fire 50, otherwise you lose. The foundation method, you set a foundation, and allow the big hitters to target teir 2 bowlers, less risk needed, focus on ground fours not aerial. Less risk but still a high RR. You'll get free runs as the bowlers get frustrated.

I guess maybe he's played cricket after all. Williamson, Neesham, Santner and Bolt all excellent. It's almost like experience is valuable.

If Neesham didn’t get Sams and Stoinis out this game would have gone to Aus. I’m quite surprise the Blackcaps didn’t bowl Neesham in the middle overs and used him in the final over.
Overall it was a team performance by every member of the team. The only issue I have now is whether Jamieson might not be cut out for T20. Seems to leak too many runs in the last game and today’s game. Hopefully when Ferguson comes back they swap him out.
I think if Siefert continues to get single digits in this series then either bring Finn Allen or bring in Munro.
Tim Southee to keep then?
Neither of them have kept for some time, they are both specialist batsmen. Chasing shiny things doesn't work well in many pursuits, especially selecting cricket teams.

Fortunately the selectors will persevere with players they see as long term players and not chase "form"
