Cricket World Cup 2027: Door open for Finn Allen to take Kane Williamson’s plac…

T20 specialist in the 50 over team? nah mate, we all know how that ends. Remember how he went in the last ODI series?

Casey Adams2026-07-08T04:22:00.000Z

Door's open? More like a bloody revolving door at this point. Kane leaves and we're scrambling for anyone with a pulse.

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T04:44:00.000Z

Allen can't even hold a bat against decent pace. South Africa will eat him alive. But sure, give him a spot.

Zoe King2026-07-08T05:09:00.000Z

what about Devon Conway? guy averages 50 in ODIs but nah let's pick someone who smacks sixes in T20s

Riley Scott2026-07-08T05:56:00.000Z

Conway's injured half the time mate, can't rely on him.

Kai Thompson2026-07-08T05:34:00.000Z

As an industry worker, I just want the Black Caps to do well. But swapping Kane for Finn seems like a downgrade. Hope I'm wrong.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-08T05:52:00.000Z

I think Finn deserves a chance, he's young and exciting! Good on Gav for keeping an open mind 😊

Zoe King2026-07-08T06:42:00.000Z

yeah true, but still better than Allen's average of 20 in ODIs lol

Riley Scott2026-07-08T06:13:00.000Z

ftr, Finn's strike rate is insane. We need someone to take the game away from the opposition. Give the kid a run.

Noah Bennett2026-07-08T06:44:00.000Z

rate don't mean shit if you're out for 10

Hayden Kelly2026-07-08T06:21:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. Kane's a legend but time to move on. Allen's the future, let's back him.

Casey Adams2026-07-08T07:04:00.000Z

lol cope, he's got potential but you're dreaming if you think he's the next Kane
