Mark Chapman is a poor mans Tim David. He is the NZ equivalent.
He got found out fairly big time against a better bowling attack this series.

He was one of our best batsmen again, 40 off 24 balls is a good knock, he had to play a great knock to make up for our other duds though.
If we had Conway, Ravindra, Williamson and Mitchell all available we probably would have won that game and the series.
Hopefully we get them all back for the test series.

There are 4 or 5 that would be 2nd XI for NZ as well. Conway, Williamson, Ravindra and Ferguson all walk back into that team
Short's knock was perfect for a rain affected match.

Given that this New Zealand team beat Pakistan recently 4-1 on their home patch, it probably also indicates that Pakistan are a mile behind Australia.
Rauf, Afridi looked very attackable.
In World Cup, England v Australia should be a close battle.
India should smash Pakistan on paper.
And West Indies can cause some trouble to NZ especially in their own backyard this World Cup. I havent really seen much that impressed me much about NZ this series. West Indies played well against Australia despite losing the series 2-1 to Australia.

Why are they not playing?
Agar is lucky to get a game for the Scorchers.
He's miles off a T20 return.
I reckon the Aussies have pigeon-holed Green for test and 50 overs.

Someone should start a thread entitled, "Things that happen less often than a NZ win over Australia" - I'll start:

Chris Green, Maxwell, Matt Short have overtaken A Agar as spinning all-rounders. Well Maxwell was a lock as a batsman anyway. Zampa is 1st choice spinner. Feel like having 3-4 options is good, with Travis Head a potential to roll his arms if need be.
Only way A Agar gets back into this Australian team is if he lifts his batting. His batting has fallen off a cliff past 2 seasons.

They are either injured or being rested, hopefully we get them all back for the test series as I can't see us being competitive without them.
Being rested? We have people around here whinging that we don't go over to NZ enough, but if that is how they treat part of one of their biggest visitors touring then maybe we should go less.

They have all had injury issues, if they were fully fit they may have played more in this series, I'd rather they missed the T20s than the tests
There was no point risking any of them today to play in a dead rubber that ended up being a farcical 10 over game.
No point in them playing for their country to avoid a humiliating home series white wash?
Tells you everything you need to know about New Zealand loser mentality.

To be fair at International level David should've realised the left/right hander was on strike and adjusted accordingly

So Australia have never rested their players when they have had injury issues or to save them for more important matches like tests?
Why didn't Smith, Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood play every match of this T20 series?
Well the difference is NZ's depth is like div 2 grade cricketers.

Look we'll just won't do as many white ball tours then.
It's not like limited over cricket is imperative for your board making money or anything.
Pretty solid unit there
Cummins was literally MoM in our last game, he is playing ahead of Ellis. Ellis is quality backup though and more than likely plays at some stage during the tournament.
