***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

[Natman20]

hmmmm. What is up with this tour? Theres all this talk of a hot summer and not enough rain, well how come almost every game of cricket this season has been called off by it?

 

[Bahnz]

New Zealand win the toss and will bowl.

 

[sammy2]

why no taylor ?

 

[Bahnz]

why no taylor ?

He was injured at Auckland wasn't he? That's why Baker played.

 

[Bahnz]

Good reward for an excellent start from Mills.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

That was a nice delivery from Mills, for sure.

 

[superkingdave]

Lol at WI, 5.3 overs 5 scoring shots, 4 of them cracking boundaries

 

[superkingdave]

Love watching Chris Gayle bat...staying up till he gets out...then getting up for the bash in the morning

Man up, Sammy - http://forum.cricketweb.net/showthread.php?p=1784603#post1784603

Gillespie, for all his moderate pace, is looking like cannon fodder once more.

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

Get Thompson or Frankie in there. Tired of GillesPIE

 

[Jono]

It'd be so awesome to be in the backyard and see the ball Chris Gayle just smashed land over your fence.


So long as it didn't hit you on the head of course.

 

[Days of Grace]

Hopefully today's match will once and for all put to bed GillesPIE's international career.

Gillespie again showing his awesome class at international level, well done to the selectors for spotting his talent and giving him an opportunity. I certainly hope he plays 100+ tests and 200+ ODIs.

 

[Natman20]

Hmmm. Martin >>> Gillespie. Selectors and Gillespie, never really shown much potential apart from really really really bowling advantaged wickets. Expensive, always strays too wide. His pace doesn't give him an advantage at all, in fact it helps the batsmen get it to the boundaries, so that is no excuse to have him in the squad.

 

[Bahnz]

...and he's taken a wicket.

 

[Nutter]

...and he's taken a wicket.

As luck would have it...

 

[Natman20]

and then he takes a wicket, he booked his spot for another 20 odd matches now

 

[Blakey]

Was a good ball. Give him some credit for that. And at an important time in the game.

 

[Bahnz]

New Zealand can't afford to let this drift. If Gayle and Chanderpaul stay in for a while longer it'll be quite easy to push that run rate up from 4 to 6.
