Think your analysis is pretty good but yikes I'm still not exactly confident about much tbh.

PCB & NZC are brethren in this regard.
Last match, we sent Haris in middle overs to face spin when he is clearly better against pace & has played last T20WC as opener.

NZ is sure shot semifinalists if he tops batting charts as an opener. They have good pace attack & decent spinners.
If he tops batting charts for NZ playing at no.7, brace for deep deep trouble in India next month.
Into the XI? I dunno...I still don't see it. I think that wicket, and the situation he batted in, was absolutely tailor made for him. A slow wicket, which if I'm hearing right is not what is going to be presented in India. His bowling was reasonably effective, and 122-5 in the middle overs gave him an opportunity to come in and bat like a top order player. He won't have (or he shouldn't have) 48 balls to bat in India, at 7. He was 20 off 28, which is not a criticism - that's the batsman he is. At that stage, we needed over 9s. That's not the 7 we need.
I'm more and more believing (even though I haven't rated him for years) that Neesham needs to be our 7, playing two seamers it looks slow/3 if it looks quick.
Incidentally, I read this quote the other day...I dunno if this is misquoted, but I've seen it a few places now:
“Ben Stokes played an amazing innings, England’s best,” he (Gary Stead) said. “That was pretty special to watch. I don’t mind Ben Stokes. I’d rather he score them now than on October 5.”
I just don't get this guy. He'd rather Ben Stokes score them now than Oct 5? Is that even a thing, like Ben Stokes has chits for massive ODI hundreds that he decided to use now rather than in a World Cup pool game? Isn't it more of a concern that we got smashed in three ODIs against a team we're playing in 3 weeks? Won't Ben Stokes wander out on Oct 5 and think hell yeah, I have these guys' measure? Or will he think ****, I wish I hadn't failed the marshmallow test and used up my big score earlier.

I think he was just making a joke, you don't need to overanalyse it.
This forum has no interest or value in me being reasoned
