On the Sports Huddle this evening: Newstalk ZB Rugby Commentators Elliott Smith and Paul Allison.   The Black Caps lost to West Indies in Thursday’s crucial T20 pool game in Trinidad and Tobago – so they won’t make it to the knockout phase of the tournament.  Paul Allison told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he’s disappointed in the Black Caps loss, given their performance in recent T20 tournaments – being semifinalists two years ago and runners up 2021.   Allison said “They’re blaming weather and poor preparation of pitches – they also have to have a good hard look at the planning.”  LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
