Yeah he is one of too many guys selected for T20 based on class in the longer forms.

We dropped the guy that was getting back to his best in Conway.

Yeah his record is terrific in all three forms.
Ravindra always seems to get a long leash to regain form, it has paid off in Tests and ODIs though.

Phillips is class
definitely all those weights he's been doing.
The horse has well and truly bolted for the India expat XI Canada.
The failure of Seifert and Allen is concerning, but that's quality from Phillips and Ravindra
It does feel like we generally have the batting to do well, if only the bowling will fire consistently

Not really. That's the ebbs and flows of Cricket. They have both scored big in the tournament so far.
Minnows well and truly put to the Sword.
Super 8 spot officially locked in.
Fair to say NZ are a much better batting team than bowling team in this form of the game. Definitely could be cause for concern later on.
Why do cricket tournaments always have the worst possible structures? Was trying to figure out what the loss to South Africa means for our path through super 8s and the answer is nothing. No difference whatsoever. The ICC in their eternal wisdom have preseeded the super 8s, so now that we're through we'll face England, Pakistan* and Sri Lanka. If we'd beaten south Africa and topped our group we'd have had the same super 8 path regardless.
Assuming Pakistan qualify. If they somehow contrive to lose to Namibia then the USA* will take their place.
Unless the India also lose to the Netherlands, by a stonking great margin, in which case the can leapfrog both a defeated Pakistan and the USA.
To be fair, the preseeding means we dodge India, South Africa and the West Indies (and Australia if they make it).
We should make the semis. We need wins over two of England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka to have a decent chance. SL will be tough but England and Pakistan have struggled for form so it's as good as we could have hoped for really.
