          Munro with a crap shot and senseless dismissal at the worst possible time, in his best format. What. A. Fuckwit.

            Is this really the best T20 team we have?
            Seifert is making Latham look better and better.

              This is why I can't bring myself to watch many T20s, let alone fork out money to go to one. Short of a miracle innings this game is effectively over and we are only into the fifth over.

                Definitely not. Phillips is probably our best option in this format but he didn't take his chances. We need Williamson in there and our actual all rounders like Neesham or CDG. Here we have picked six bowlers - some of them can bat but I don't see why you don't drop one and pick an all rounder instead.

                  T20's are much more likely to be close than any other format. But I do agree. If it isn't close, it is boring. Test cricket is good to go to no matter what the state of the game - as long as you get a full day.

                    @hydro11 it's too reliant on the team batting first making a good fist of it. One dayers were faulted for this, but it seems worse in T20s. Pity nobody listened to me when I was suggesting they turn one dayers into four innings games.

                      There's quite a bit in this pitch. If we can get 130+ that will be competitive.

                          Conversely teams can easily get back into a game. This is now going to be competitive, after struggling for the first 12 overs.

                              Good recovery from the Black Caps. At least made a game of it.

                                The worry with tail wags like that is whether it means our top order just made a dog's breakfast of it, or whether it was genuinely good bowling. Often you see 'recoveries' that still result in 8 or 9 wicket wins.

                                  Take a fucking bow Taylor, Santner, Bracewell, Kuggelijn and Southee.

                                  I nearly turned it off at 30 odd for 4, then again at 54/5.

                                  Fucking Ferguson begins with a leg stump half volley which is promptly sent to the boundary.

                                  Then his second ball is dispatched for 6.

                                  Another great start with the ball....

                                    Ferguson backs up the lower order batting by starting with two complete pies...

                                          He hit 150 clicks with that last ball too.
                                          Good to see.
