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

[BeeGee]

Now the score is good.

 

[straw man]

Lol Boult. Has an excellent eye when he's trying to smack it. And the intelligence to work out a method to score a fifty on a low slow Bangladeshi wicket too. Amusing because his batting in any other circumstances (e.g. defending) is really pretty rubbish.

 

[hendrix]

lol Watling is such a dick to Tino. Doing anything he can to deny him a 5 for.

 

[Flem274*]

clever shot

 

[_Ed_]

28 (15).

Boult must be getting pretty close to being as good a batsman as Southee now.

 

[Meridio]

Love a good Boult slog innings.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

And as I say that Boult goes nuts. See him making some runs, but not hanging around all that long.

Nah, no turn, and Shillingfords not beating him for flight. As long as he picks the gaps he will be fine.

 

[straw man]

Won't get to bowl any overs if we lose the last wicket now, so should try to bat to lunch and then get the Windies out in the field again afterwards.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Actually i take back what i said about wanting Watling at 5. He is god at 7

 

[Flem274*]

so we actually have another half hour until lunch?

Not sure if everyone is aware but Trent was the batsman of the tournament at a National Club Champs a couple of years ago. Scored 378 runs at a strike rate of 130, with two hundreds. Admittedly most players in that tournament are drunk from Wednesday onwards, but the kid can bat.

This is painful to watch!!..honestly if we had to suffer this feeble attack long term i think i'd have to step away from WI cricket!!..i couldn't handle watching this utter tripe series after series!!..thankfully the top guns will be back next year and we won't have to see these pathetic bunch of jokers in a WI shirt EVER again!!..it's three first innings in a row now where they've allowed 400 plus runs!!..but of course dipstick Gibson and his merry men just KEEP on giving them opportunity after opportunity!!..i hope he p/sses off after this series aswell .

 

[_Ed_]

Glorious.

 

[Dan]

Great stuff from both Boult and Watling here. Gotta love #11s making runs.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

can bat

 

[Bahnz]

There 's gonna be a bit more rain soonI think.

 

[Flem274*]

catches have been the main issue imo. the bowlers have created chances, but so far they've dropped about 160 runs, or whatever 129 plus Boult's current score is.

I always considered him a genuine rabbit. Must just be adjusting to the extra pace, hes probably been working very hard in the nets

 

[Dan]

Boult to walk off upset that Watling cost him a 50 (or more) here.
