That was a brilliant last over. Windies will have to be a bit disappointed not to have made 300.

I hope all the NZ feel happy about having to make 294 to win. Good luck.

Another great ball from Gillespie. He's bowled well since that awful first spell.

He always seems to bowl much better in his second spell of a match...

I wonder how much difference the late momentum shift will make.

 

[Days of Grace]

That's the trouble with Gillespie. He usually goes the distance if he opens the bowling. We should have opened with Southee and Mills and left Gillespie to bowl during the middle overs and of course at the death.

Can't help but feel that if Australia were 240/2 with 8 overs remaining we would be chasing about 334.

More like woeful batting from Edwards TBH though he bowled some good balls.

Did you even congratulate gayle and chanderpaul for playing two innings no NZ batsman would be able to play ?

I'm happy with the score, it seems like you are aswell, I hope the bowlers do alot better than the NZ bowlers.

We chased 320 to tie with England at the same ground last year. Won't be easy, but 290 at McLean is probably worth about 250 at any other ground in the country.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Wow, did Gillespie just bowl that over?
Did NZ just limit WI in the death overs?

Should be a good chase. I only saw the last 2 overs, but I can't help but feel that WI came up short on another ripper of a pitch.

Yes if the two batsman at the crease doesn't get out and bowlers replace them.

I think you should go back to licking your wounds left by SA

I did actually, though I could've taken your logic and said he was dropped early on so he didn't deserve the runs that he got.

.

What was Guptill's score again in the last match?

How much did Jamie How make here last year?

One of the best partnerships i've seen in ODI cricket for awhile between Gayle and Chanderpaul...the pressure to stay out there and set up a big total was pretty big, and they did it.

However, 293 is very gettable in Napier being a small ground and a flat pitch. Kieron Pollard was clearing the rope hitting the ball off the top of his bat..that pretty much sums it up.

Wow, that was phenomenal from Gayle and Chanderpaul.

I hope we can win, and I'm optimistic, but regardless of what happens I'll remember this game for that partnership between two great players. Particularly Gayle's ****ing massive six of Gillespie, and Chanderpaul's reverse sweeping.

Our top four really need to fire.

Yet again, you don't really know much about anything. But I suppose when your role in life is trolling, then that doesn't matter.

Most knowledgable cricket watchers would know that NZ is more comfortable chasing a score around 300 than it is chasing a score of 220ish.

Haha, I love how you act like nobody appreciates the innings of Gayle and Chanders in the same sentence as you rubbish the NZ batsman. I doubt anybody on this forum would be rubbishing Gayle and Chanders innings, we aren't all trolls like you.

Maybe you should look back at the scorecard from last year at Napier, maybe you should look at the top 2nd innings chases in the history of ODI cricket.

Yes, runs on the board are good, but this game is definitely not over, and should be a real cracker.

'Twas 340. The star of that show was Jamie How.

Underestimating the power of Pollard there you are.

No doubt he has power..but Chanderpaul reversed swept a six too. It's a very small ground.
