All that hard work to get into the winning position and they throw it away. That win really would have thrown a spanner in the fight for 2nd.

That Khawaja run out so crucial, wonder how it would have panned out if he didn't run himself out. Kiwis bowling variety top notch, if they had BMac still you would give them the WC.

All the talk of flexibility on show in the bowling, Zampa who bowled a very good first over wasn't seen again likewise Agar.

Good over from Zampa followed by a wicket next over. Starting to think we should have gone with two leggies in the squad now.

Selectors picked a team that bats all the way down, bowling could be an issue if the seam all rounders don't perform.

Usual T20 suspects (Pak and WI) stepping up at WC time. Will be interesting seeing how they end up going.

Wish they had got Khawaja in there. At least it should mean Head and Lynn both get another go.

Bumrah looks promising will be interesting seeing how he backs up given Sran had a good debut too.

Carters loving the NZ bowlers 100 for him. Seems to have a knack for scoring runs in tour games, just needs a bit more consistency in Shield.

Bowled some off spin in the A game against India and took wickets with them.

Did not see Fekete on the radar at all. Sandhu looked the pick of the A bowlers and his offies looked handy. Will be interesting seeing who the selectors pick on both fronts.

Mainly heard it on forums one from a person that seems to have connections but don't think I've seen it in the media. He might be alright now that Smith is captain though.

He'll probably keep his spot now that Rogers has pulled the pin too. 3 new batsmen would be a bit much and not like they are banging the house down.

Seems to have been put into the doesn't spin it enough basket.

I'd go with SOK if going for the second spinner, ideally I'd have a leggie but atm they are more performing in the shorter formats than the longer one. If Rogers goes we definitely need a like for like replacement, Bancroft has hit form at the right time so probably done enough to leapfrog...
