F'ing Sammy needs to get out of the test team. WI will never be able to complete with 3.5 bowlers. Give the captaincy to Samuels and get any one of the following in Edwards, Taylor, Best, Gabriel, Johnson even bravo. Fact that Sammy is ahead of any of these bowlers is atrocous. I blame hims single handedly for letting NZ get to 350. At least be humble and give the ball to Roach or Rampaul, clearly trying to feed his ego and trying to get a wicket under his name. Pathetic! I'm so mad!

I've been a big supporter of Sammy but even I have to admit he's done himself no favours during this match so far

Lol. Well played.So we have the prospect of Wagner, Elgar and Strauss playing in the next few weeks ...
All South African-born, which may or may not be significant.
I know Flintoff was a such a fan of classical music he spent a lot of time acting like he was Brahms.

Pitching it up here is a dangerous tactic, very little swing. Need to pull back their lengths and look to cramp the left-handers do NZ.

Gayle setting up for a big one maybe

I totally agree.

Good knock from Powell. Much easier on the youngster with an experienced partner

Excellent call not to review, looked dead at first.
EDIT: first signs of reverse for Wagner, please be good.

Yeah. I like the fact he didn't try to pick up Gayle's blazing run rate at the start of the innings. He's showing far more maturity than his age would suggest.
About the LBW appeal on CHG: I figured that nearly hit his arse! Ok, replays showed it was not that high, but still way too high to get so much excitement, not?

Beautiful reverse swing this from Wagner. He could be a real handful

I'd agree, but suggesting Edwards as an improvement is a joke.

Yargh, Flynn. At least the third drop of his that's led to us conceeding a lot of runs (Haddin and Tendulkar being the other two, from memory). Really needs to field at mid-on/off.
Well, I'm glad I didn't get up early for this. Still, if Wagner continues to bowl like this tomorrow, we might still have a chance of keeping the windies to a lead of under 100, and stretching this match out to a 4th innings. Wahoo!

Windies day. If Gayle gets going tomorrow things could get very interesting, they will want a lead of at least 100.

Digging his fingernails into the ball. 3rd ump spotted him and reported him to the standing officials who then examined the cherry before deciding no harm had been done.
Replay didn't look too clever, it must be said.
