YES!!! Was worried about a big number 11 partnership as there have been so many recently.

Stay away rain plz

Geez, that was frustrating for a while.

But well played Bravo and Sammy. If that was Sammy's last act as a test cricketer, it was representative of his character.

Poor bowlers only have a handful of days before the next test, too. Which is why I wouldn't have enforced the follow-on.

Yeah I'd call that conclusive as well, bat was well away from pad and clear hotspot.

With the threat of rain anyone else thinking we should get McCullum in next to try and hit and a rapid fire 40/50? Rain drops on the camera lenses were appearing as they headed off for lunch.

The Windies get the early wicket you need if you're any chance of defending just over 100. Anyone from Dunedin want to comment as to whether the weather could be a genuine threat this arvo?

I think this one is all over, well played New Zealand. Very good signs for us though, I reckon the next test will be really good now we've had some significant time in the middle.

Still, I'm just getting over the fact that a spinner shared the new ball for the West Indies in tests.... What an indicator that is as to the team managements faith in Gabriel after that first innings.

In other news, Kraigg Braithwaite is finally off to New Zealand. I reckon they will keep the same batting lineup for the next test and change the bowling, but if Powell or Edwards struggle in the 2nd test Kraigg will be in the side. He;s earned it with all his FC and A team domination.
