It's more to do with having enough evidence to over turn the decision.
If Rudi had given it not out and NZ referred, then it would have stayed not out.

All over 375. Chase is 311 from 60 overs or slightly less, I think.
Top stuff from WI, they fought all the way. Shame Gayle did not make his 200, deserved it.
Tbh, I think WI deserve this - or at least dont deserve to lose. For my money they have played a little better than we have over 5 days.
Ryder and McCullum to open?

So a draw unless something miraculous happens for either side. Keywords would be: Taylorx2, Ryder, McCullum, Edwards, Jeets
Good Test match really, Edwards and Taylor have really impressed me in this match and I was already a big fan of both of them. Nash looks like an excellent find for the West Indies, a solid player who can stick around for long periods of time and get a few runs at the other ends of the Chanderpauls and the Gayles. A real shame the first match was rained off and that there is no 3rd as while I think NZ have been slightly better throughout another match would have been sublime.

Don't think it is that likely that the openers will change but Flynn will surely be pushed behind Ryder Taylor and McCullum.

The only chance NZ has to win is to score about 100 in the first hour, methinks.
They will get to a stage where they have lost too many wickets with too many runs left, which is when they will probaby turn from attack to defense and play for the draw.
So they really need to juggle the line-up. They can't have both Ryder and McCullum coming in at 5 and 6.
Open with How or McIntosh?
I think McIntosh could provide a good anchor to either McCullum or Ryder opening.
I really can't see us chasing this down, but NZ always give things a go so you never know.

Na lets not lose but with Flynn down at 6 he could bat for the draw if anything horrific happens.On the positive front, at least we managed 20 wickets in a Test
We have to have a go at this, and if we end up losing, so be it. If it's a draw we surely stay at 8th in the rankings, but would move to 7th if we win. All to play for.
So O'Brien was good, Jeets and Vettori too, Franklin was much better in the second innings and showed a great improvement, with the weak link this time being Mills who was on level with Gillespie. We need a fast strike bowler a.k.a Bond to get our attack where it needs to be to be a force in International cricket.
Flynn at 3 has been somewhat of a revelation as surprised as I am to admit it.

How is definitely more of a stroke player than McIntosh and Ryder seems like a guy who has no trouble at all with a new ball. If I were going for a most succesful lineup at chasing high scores quickly I'd say
How
Ryder
Taylor
McCullum
Franklin
Flynn (possibly even Mills)
McIntosh
Don't think we'd see it though.

He bowled tripe really.
O'Brien got overs because he is our go to quick bowler now. Franklin was put in for a change up and saw success, otherwise the spinners were the main plan.

It appears to me that whenever somebody writes something remotely disparaging towards (and in SP's case it's just an age old bait) the kiwis you jump for their throat. It's like clock-work.

Oh right. Hard to see Mills getting a run against India in the Tests then, so maybe this opens the door for the return of Martin.
