***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

[Bahnz]

Sounds like a ridiculously defensive field set.

 

[James]

100 partnership from these two, and sounds like they've done it easily.

Hopefully we can somehow pick up a wicket before stumps. What's the general feeling surrounding the selection of Sodhi out of interest?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

It's really not. There's still plenty of men in close, but there's no point in going hard with 5 slips at this point. The batsmen are too well set.

 

[Bahnz]

Interesting prospect, but shouldn't be playing for New Zealand yet.

We probably would've had Edwards caught at 3rd slip off Wagner if we had.

That being said, there's no one better that's available.

must've missed that in between the borderline wides and long-hops wagner was serving up

 

[Bahnz]

Yes there is. I'd say that most of the other spinners playing regular FC cricket are better than Sodhi at this stage.

Yes because conceding runs is such a massive concern for us at the moment.

Nah, disagree.

 

[Bahnz]

Haha! I'm totally claiming that one!!!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

**** yes!!

So dhead!

 

[straw man]

Ysessss! Just put the radio back on and heard 135 for Two. That was needed.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

You'd be surprised how quickly you can piss away 300 runs in conditions like this. Still need to pick the right times to attack and when wagner is bowling tripe is not one of them imo.

ISHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[kyear2]

That was a good innings from Kirk, but really poor dismissal.

Well I'm off to bed

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Sodhi is almost more like an off-spinner than a leggie. Most of his deliveries seem to be pushing into the batsman rather than threatening the outside edge

 

[BeeGee]

What's the general feeling surrounding the selection of Sodhi out of interest?

Looks like a good prospect. Definitely making a contribution.

All of a sudden, I wholeheartedly approve! Fantastic breakthrough.

Very useful lower-order bat, too.

Having said that, I don't think we should feed him to the Indian batsmen later in the summer.

 

[straw man]

This is a perfect match situation for a leg-spinner to develop their skills - plenty of runs to play with and wickets being of primary importance. If we could replicate this more frequently then would surely help Sodhi's development into an attacking spinner.

yeah that's key. He'll get wrecked
