No problems, it's turning into an interesting game.

The question is, are we any closer to knowing what our best T20 side is? We're about 10 months out from a T20 World Cup (in theory at least), and for my money we only have 4 nailed on, 'must pick' players:

1.
2.
3. Williamson (c)
4.
5.
6.
7. Santner
8.
9.
10. Ferguson
11. Boult

In India, Ish Sodhi will almost certainly be there too, then it's probably a toss up between Jamieson/Southee/Henry/Astle/A.N.Other spinner depending on the pitch. Jamieson surely the preference. Hopefully no sign of Wheeler, Tickner, Duffy, Rance, Kuggeleijn, Bennett et al. that we've had to use recently. Will be interesting to keep an eye on Milne in the BBL.

The bigger question is what to do with the batting. Since 2017 the following batsman/all rounders have either debuted or been in the mix: Guptill, Munro, Conway, Siefert, Phillips, Chapman, Taylor, Bruce, Blundell, Kitchen, Mitchell, Neesham, CDG. Maybe a few others I've missed.

Realistically Bruce, Blundell, Kitchen are unlikely to be in the mix. The problem is then strucuring your order: Guptill, Munro, Conway, Seifert, and Phillips are all probably at their best batting in the top 3.

I still think Guptill and Munro are probably our best opening pair (they're our two highest ranked batsmen if you put any stock in ICC rankings). It's then anyones guess from there - Seifert and Phillips don't really deserve to be dropped on recent performances, Conway looks very good (he might do alright at 5 where he can accumulate/accelerate as needed - taking Roscos place who hasn't been great in T20s for a while). It's then a bit of a dogfight between Neesham/CDG/Mitchell.

Personally I think I'd go with:

1. Guptill
2. Munro
3. Williamson (c)
4. Phillips (wk)
5. Conway
6. Neesham
7. Santner
8. Jamieson
9. Sodhi
10. Ferguson
11. Boult

Squad: Seifert, CDG, Ajaz Patel, Henry (maybe Milne if he shows some form in the BBL and stays on the field).

Harsh on Seifert tonight but where do you put him?

Not necessarily confident in some of those picks, and obviously depends on Munro actually wanting to play for us and not in the BBL, and Guptill rediscovering some sort of form.

Time to change the captain?
