Foulkes with a few pies, keeping the WI in it.
67 from 24.
Fuck now Santner being pumped, 6,6.
That missed catch where Robinson and Chapman stopped and looked at each other on the boundary and watched the ball bounce over the rope between them now looking very costly.
Timely wicket, great catch Bracewell.
52 needed from 18.
For some reason Jamieson coming in to bowl at the death scares me.
That might be why… 6 first up.
30 from 12.
We are in trouble, these guys are hitting 6’s at will.
Our death bowling has been trash.
They are coasting home. We can't keep playing Jamieson in this form, the numbers don't stack up at all
Wheeew. We snuck of jail there.
Good comeback in the 2nd half of that over from Jamieson, but by Christ we should have never been in that position.

Jamieson snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Did we really have no one else to bowl?!
he seems so unsuited for t20
his figures are terrible, his bulk and size dont go well as a fielder as we saw on 1 occasion
on top of that hes terribly injury prone, why do they keep risking him?
NZ needs to pick more T20 specialists rather than hope that the likes of Jamieson, Conway and Ravindra perform in a format less suited to their skills.
Yup that’s why we aren’t competing as well as the other teams. The bulk of their selections are t20 specialists.
We have a few good ones already but we need to identify more and give them a decent chance
Given the workloads and often injury issues, it makes fuck all sense picking guys like Henry, jamieson etc in all 3 formats

Yep there is a lot resting on those two as guys who are massively important in the longest form of the game. I'd much rather the shits and giggles type bowlers make up the T20 squad.
Maybe they feel Jamieson needs game time ? and that with his height and awkwardness he should be more economical ?
Matt Henry is in the fortunate ( or unfortunate ) position of being bloody good at all three forms of the game.
Just watched the first over from Nelson and there is something not quite right seeing the Windies opening with a left arm off spinner.
