Chapman usually comes in when the chips are down. His chance to show his quality and guide us home

Still 19 from 35 ...

You say that like it's a problem

It's merely a statement ...

Nice shot by Phillips

[KiwiMurph]

Can Phillips wicketkeep as well or did I mix him up with someone else?

[booboo]

So anyway, more traditional telly broadcast must be quicker than interweb streaming

[KiwiMurph]

@booboo Kayo stream is ahead of Spark too.

Am hoping Phillips scores more runs than he conceded.

Wish granted Mokes

It is a few seconds slower on Spark. I was told the reason but can't remember right now.

[booboo]

Can I tell you guys we won?

[canefan]

Great performance. Phillips closes the match out. Great way to finish the series after starting under pressure

[Mokey]

Guess it's back to the manuscript. Good work black caps.

[Gunner]

Excellent win to wrap up the series after a couple of lacklustre performances.

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful performance.

Conway opening and Chapman in for Jamieson were two excellent changes that made a huge difference.

[Damo]

Sodhi player of the series for me.

[Donsteppa]

We were a lot less predictable today with the batting order and bowling choices, it made a big difference.

Guppy (damn autocorrect) had a couple of decent scores, but yea

As the commentators said, this XI might provide a good blueprint for the T20 World Cup team later this year. We probably need one more outright spinner though, and I'm unsure who that could be? I can't think of anyone outside of Sodhi and Santner who's played more to than a couple of T20s. The back up 'keeper could be Phillips or maybe Blundell comes into the squad but it seems a mild waste of a spot.

[Bovidae]

@shark The names mentioned in a Stuff article yesterday were Cole McConchie, Michael Rippon and Ajaz Patel. I haven't seen any domestic cricket this season, so can't comment on the first two, but McConchie would add to the batting depth.

[LABCAT]

@bovidae It will probably be Astle as he is the only one with previous international white ball experience.

[Siam]

Wow, we won a big one against Oz, and did it easy. Not a common occurrence at all.

Phillips innings was bloody impressive.

Kane backing and bowling those part time spinners was huge. Fortune favouring the brave

I didn’t see any post game stuff, but notice Cricinfo reporting that Sodhi got it.

As for our T20 lineup, I’m more in the “if someone else is in form then give him a chance ahead of Kane” camp.
