There they go again, beaten badly by India 4-1 now getting the winning feeling here. This is not a WC ideal prep series.
Oh well, we have 3 ok warmup matches end May.
I thin NZ still have a very good chance in the world cup. But my gut tells me Eng will win.
Current standings
1. Eng
2. Ind
3. NZ
4. SA
But I think NZ are more like 4th, and Australia is the dark horse who whilst 6th can beat any of the top 4 or Pak on there day.
I just hope Kane has been indecisive in finishing off games deliberately to test the team, and in the WC if we have a team 50-4 he will bowl out his best bowlers all in a row.
Lockie Ferguson could easily had 6 wickets today, 5 at least if Taylor didnt drop 2 sitters unusually for him at slip. But definitely booked his place in the WC squad. Its in the all rounders. I think Sodhi has to be taken. Its between Santner, Colin DG, Astle Nesham. If it were me Id take Santner, Colin DG, Neesham and Seifert as we need to take a real Wicket Keeper more than another spinner.
