**Official** New Zealand in West Indies

[Neil Pickup]

Action replay of the 4th ODI coming up I fear. Narine to bowl three overs for eight.

 

[thierry henry]

Anyone else ready for some delicious disappointment?

 

[thierry henry]

Hit a 6, 5 dot-balls. Vintage stuff.

 

[thierry henry]

WOW

z

 

[Meridio]

We face far too many dot balls at this time of the innings. If you can't get a boundary, at least get one.

Actually, we face far too many dot balls through our entire innings.

 

[SteveNZ]

We know how this is ending.

Interesting that Narine is bowling round, however. Over seemed to work pretty reasonably in the first four ODIs. Boredom..

 

[thierry henry]

oh dear

 

[BoyBrumby]

Man, that's some grab.

Even made that look lazy. Very low temperature chap, Gayle.

 

[thierry henry]

Playing for the draw now

 

[Meridio]

Yeah, with Kane gone that's the game methinks. Ellis playing a step-away-step-back-in forward defence not filling me with confidence that we can chase this.

 

[thierry henry]

We shouldn't lose sight of how disgraceful this is

 

[BoyBrumby]

That'll be yer lot then.

It's Groundhog (one) Day (international).

 

[NasserFan207]

Yeah, this is an action replay of the last game. Narine too good

 

[thierry henry]

Need 36 off 5 overs

Get 7 off the first 3

Just another day

Gave the Kiwis too much credit. 3/7 off his closing three.

Well deserved win to WI. Twice now their bowling in final 10 overs has won them the game, and NZ lower order has struggled. Needing 36 from 30, we score 7 from 18 and lose 3 wickets ...

 

[BoyBrumby]

So: Windies back or NZ gash?

Thoughts to the usual address...

Thoughts to the usual address...

Narine is a BAMF, Gayle is good in limited overs, and NZ have a bunch of injuries/disciplinary problems.

Basically nothing much has changed

 

[Meridio]

When did we become so terrible at batting in the final 10 overs? Maybe a cue to move McCullum back down the order.

Anyway, Gayle's catch probably the turning point, though we still might have struggled anyway.

The teams are pretty evenly matched except that Narine is ridiculously dominant, to the extent that 30 off 30 becomes an impossible chase if he's around.
