***Official*** New Zealand in the West Indies 2014

[El Nino]

He left 5-6 that were ridiculously close including one this morning, although it was to pace bowling, he was definitely flirting with danger in his leaving throughout the innings. A terrific innings though.

Quite interested to see what kind of tempo McCullum comes out with.

 

[Kippax]

Danny with 'Kane William', again

 

[BeeGee]

Well done Taylor. Job half done.

 

[El Nino]

Bravo with his best Simon Jones impersonation, glad he looks ok, need him to bowl!

 

[viriya]

Once McCullum gets set they should look to pick up the rate.. 500 with a good 10-15 overs to bowl at today possibly. Would have to go at ~3.50 from here for that.

 

[Maximas]

another wicket before lunch and the windies are right back in this

Yep. WI bowling better this morning.

 

[BeeGee]

Collapse time.

Neesham doesn't know how to bat slowly, so he'll either go early or lift the scoring rate. The former is more likely.

At what point in time during this game have they looked like scoring at 3.5 per over? Why risk throwing away this platform they've built in trying to up the run rate by such a large amount?

 

[El Nino]

Got a real contest on here now, great situation for BJ to be batting in tbh, thrives on this.

 

[Maximas]

Classic NZ, seem to be going serenely but by the time BJ Watling comes in they need a good knock from him

 

[BeeGee]

Good fight back from the WI in that session. Lots of work to do for Watling and Neesham.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm starting to understand Kippax posts. Not sure whether to be proud or concerned at my mental state.

Given I've always understood them I think you should very worried about your mental state.

This was assuming a set Taylor-McCullum partnership of 100-150 and then hitters at the end.

 

[hendrix]

Morning lads.

Good comeback from the WI.

 

[Maximas]

I have to be up at 8 tomorrow, but it's nearly 4 in the morning here, should I just power through all night then crash at 5 in the arvo tomorrow?

 

[hendrix]

nope.

4 hours sleep better than none.

Goodnight Maximas.

 

[BeeGee]

No bacon?

 

[hendrix]

No bacon?

ran out yesterday.

Gee Neesham's a good runscorer. Can just put good balls into gaps effortlessly.
