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

[kyear2]

Shot.

 

[kyear2]

What a stupid single.

 

[James]

Looks like a good prospect. Definitely making a contribution.

Haha well timed wasn't it

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

Definitely, hope we can re-produce some green seamers. Pitches like this one aren't going to do us any good against India.

 

[kyear2]

yeah that's key. He'll get wrecked

Definitely.

Samuels as usual looking too casual.

 

[_Ed_]

Thought this was interesting.

Ah, the things that entertain me while I'm at work.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Pad first, imo.

Yes I've been watching those mirroring each other - not just runs but wickets too.

Ooh wicket in Adelaide... one more coming up here then.

 

[centurymaker]

Hawk-eye is BULL!

 

[_Ed_]

Fingers crossed. Come on, come on, come on...

Edit: Aw.

 

[centurymaker]

not given again

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Thought this was interesting.

Ah, the things that entertain me while I'm at work.

Yeah, I got my tabs mixed up. And almost a wicket in both matches too.

Ouch, too much turn.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

replays cast some doubt as to whether the ball hit bat or pad first but eventually appear to go in favour of the pad

Seriously? You could see from the very first replay that it hit pad first.

With that and the "doubt" over whether it hit Bravo's glove or not. Jeez, the world is full of ijits.

 

[Bahnz]

The non-partisan cricinfo commentators generally tend to avoid criticism of the umpires.

If Sodhi could learn how to bowl the slider or the flipper accurately he'd be a massive handfull with his height.

The third umpire took ages to decide about that for some strange reason.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

They're not picking his googly at all.

I'm not really surprised considering the Bravo review, but you'd think someone would need only 2 or 3 views at most, not 12 or whatever it was.

 

[Bahnz]

While I still don't think Sodhi should be playing international cricket yet, I don't think I've ever seen any New Zealand spin bowler make two quality international batsmen look so clueless. Great signs for his future.

Maybe tells us something about the ability of the (relatively old) ICC umpires.

It's amazing that they still don't have specialist review analysts yet.

 

[straw man]

Maybe tells as something about the ability of the (relatively old) ICC umpires.

Probably similar to the commentary team on the radio - Glenn Turner being his old curmudgeonly self complaining about them newfangled technologies and the other guy who sounds younger agreeing with him. Previously they were tut-tutting about kids these days playing on their ipads instead of outside.

In more positive news, radiosport's advertisements are vastly less obnoxious and embarrassing than last time I listened to it.
