When they lose?

You do realise that most teams in Test cricket would go for the win, right?
It's not like they are going to continue to go for it if they lose a lot of wickets.

Your posting so far has been rather dire, btw.

Agreed. Was funny though that he/she was right.

I have to say it was very good captaincy by Gayle to keep Edwards on after he took plenty of stick in the previous opener.

Umpires not doing a good job of preventing the windies from utilising a very obvious "go slow" tactic. Over rate only 12 an hour.

Not entirely sure they need to just yet. Even though How got out, his two over dash has probably bought Taylor and Ryder 5 overs to get their eyes in, and if they can keep the rate below 7 heading into the last 25, they may think it's still worth a go.

One more wicket though, and that's it. It's quite dark as well, so if a couple of wickets go, there's always the opportunity to take the light.

Not Terrible
Hope Taylor scores some runs today, barring a miracle this is all over rover. These two guys will naturally score at 3.5-4 runs an over though so if the partnerships good enough you never know with McCullum to come.

How played well and frankly Flynn should have said "no" to that run. I mean come on, he could've sent How back and avoided a run out entirely. Instead he decided to bite the bullet, very frustrating.

Bring back the Boxing Day test, I say.
A 2 test series is even more ridiculous when played before Christmas.
It almost turns into a one off, as the chances of one being rain affected is really high.

DWTA. It was How's call, a call that never should've been made. Flynn's duty was to trust his partner and run as fast as he could. The fault is on How, and it showed with the way he subsequently batted.
