Also I'm gonna be pissed if we manage to win this thing, as that CWC farce would have cost us the chance of holding all 3 trophies at once.
I’m pretty happy to hold the most important trophy. Anything else is a bit of a bonus, nothing more.

I'm still fucking furious about the CWC and the test championship did nothing to subdue that. It was the biggest farce I've ever seen in an international sporting event. We have a world class team and we deserve to hold both trophies not just one.

NZ picked a weird squad IMO, and now from that squad even a weird 11. Punching below their weight. The last 2 months of self inflicted weirdness. The NZCPA restricting fringe players from playing, poorly selected world cup squad, then the Pak pullout.
Although even our IPL players were poor in the second half of IPL, so that part not in selectors or management's control.
Not that I've watched the game... 3am starts. Spark giving us the choice of streaming full replays or streaming 5 min highlights. I've watched a few of the 5 min highlights packages and they are just a contextless blur. Think this tournament will be passing me by.

Bugger.....
Pakistan took that one rather comfortably.

As I alluded to earlier….winning would be nice but it’s all a bit “Sevens Rugby” to me to be honest.

Agree in some ways.
Being winners of the Test championship is the big kahuna, being tied winners of ODI is next best, and this is a distant third to me. Ironically, it's the one I thought we'd have the best chance at - in shorter formats, luck plays more of a role

What was Conway doing batting low like he was ?
The team looks a bit ‘bits and pieces’ to me in classic ( 90s 2000s ) Black Caps tradition. We’ll see if they come right.
Mind you the Windies didn’t exactly play well either. Lendle Simmons thought he was Geoffrey Boycott, 16 off 35 !!

Fergburger is out of the Cup without bowling a ball. I thought his pace would be pretty important for us - so a decent sized nail in the coffin.
Replaced by Milne.

Damn. Far and away our best player. Our one true world class player in this format.
What's the story? I'm too scared to google search in case it is stress fracture?
