Pakistan into the final
0/55 - 6 overs

Lee Germon tooLuke Ronchi would have snaffled that.
We won the world test championship and tied the 50-over final. I don't think a lack of class players is the issue. I think tactically we blew it last night, and in the T20 final vs Oz last year when Guptill scored 28 off 35.Kiwis just a class player or too short which unfortunately will always be their proplem because they've got such a small player pool
Quality fast bowling is often an issue - Guptill's innings was criminal... Conway and Williamson were too slow, but with Allen and Phillips gone quickly we needed a score - that said, Neesham needed a chance...We won the world test championship and tied the 50-over final.

Well there’s a shock, shit place with even worse people.
Yeah Conway will generally score at 120-130 which is perfect for an anchor role. Scoring at 100-105 like Williamson does is just sucking up too many deliveries.Quality fast bowling is often an issue - Guptill's innings was criminal...

Hopefully Kane retires from this form tbh, I don't see him being dropped, but England's model of going hard all the way through is best - so at most you can only afford one of Conway and Williamson, and atm Williamson clearly not offering much
Think the injuries have been an issue but agree, two anchors is one too manyYeah Conway will generally score at 120-130 which is perfect for an anchor role. Scoring at 100-105 like Williamson does is just sucking up too many deliveries.
