He's dropped some absolute sitters in his time, but is pretty good with the more difficult ones.

Actually the best we’ve fielded in quite some time, today.

West Indies absolutely need guys like Naraine, Andre Russell, both the Bravos at the least when they tour. With those in the lineup they can compete. I honestly over rated this WI side and under rated black caps. Maybe we haven't seen the best of WI yet but with the kind of players they have at their disposal but aren't playing must be frustrating for their supporters.

Whatever it takes!!!
Phillips gave me vibes of a young Jesse Ryder there in that knock , hope he is managed better.

Well, I'm assuming he's not an alcoholic for a start, so that helps...

We know McCullum is coaching Seifert but please stop focusing on him unnecessarily. Every keeper in the planet dives around quite naturally. Don't judge his keeping in T20s, on an average there's going to be 10 to 20 balls in a game for the keeper.
Save it for one day or test cricket. The truth is he's probably the worst of the lot of all keepers we have in NZ. He can bat though.

Forget alcohol, he's a Mormon. Doesn't drink, he's probably married as well by now. I think he was engaged when he was 19?

East or west Southee should just stick to the tests.

Great to see jamieson bowling brilliantly as well. New Zealand look like an extremely strong side when there first choice guys are back.

Looks like an extremely strong side. If Munro is playing slot Phillips down to 4/5 with Conway and boot out rosco.

The bias Baz has for Seifert is pretty clear. Even before they worked together I’d wager Baz saw how similar their approach at the crease looked and liked that narrative. The gulf in class between Phillips and Seifert today was astronomical. And Phillips has clearly moved his game forward to being more productive on the front foot, whereas I see Seifert doing the same thing series after series.

I was thinking about this during the game. The NZ selector and coach talk about having a stable side and giving players plenty of opportunities creating a great culture when explaining why Conway wasn’t in the test squad. But I think with the depth in the country now this is really based on an outdated reaction to a 2005-12ish state of play, where there really was no depth, and selections were scattergun, trying to find a diamond in the rough. I think we could really benefit from giving more players an opportunity now, and putting more emphasis on form rather than incumbency. Because the talent is definitely there in domestic cricket.

To see the depth just check the way NZ A has gone in the last two or three years. Since playing Pakistan A in UAE they haven't lost a game in 3/4 dayers.
Bet India A in one day series last year. Even when NZ A is fielded against visiting international sides they've gone very well. Shows the depth of NZ cricket at the moment.
One thing they can do is set up few A tours to South Africa, Australia and maybe to England. That'll do world of good if we have to sustain this for few years. Money could be a problem though but if we keep making finals of world cup and win consistently the big three will contribute through bilateral series.

im glad they did the little segment on seifert's keeping because i was thinking myself it was way tidier. not seifert's fault mccullum makes the same point 15 times in commentary. he and warne together would be a broken tape player.
kyle jamieson was hitting 140 semi-regularly today. jeez, if he can sustain that pace across test spells from that height and swing...
i have zero issues with conway and kane in the same side. in a wc you want a bit more cake anyway. hopefully mark chapman takes his opportunity tomorrow because he's a good player and also bowls jammy spin we could find a use for in india.
im surprised duffy can't get in ahead of bracewell and kuggs.
