He missed an out swinger that pitched leg and was going to hit off. Beautiful delivery for Southee
Kraigg is working with Viv behind the scenes...and is also taking guidence from his hero Shiv...who when he was Kraigg's age people said his stance was "a technical flaw" but we all know how that's turned out. As Prince says the boy is just 21 and in truth who was the last opener to score a ton at test level aged 21? Cook maybe? the most important part of Kraigg's game is his defense and mental abilities...now as he goes on and gets comfortable at test level one would expect him to develop his technique and thus enhance his game in the process...i honestly think he could be another Shiv if he works hard and stays grounded.
The thing is there's a big difference between the pujara incident where Powell clearly caught the ball...the Jerome Taylor incident when his heel was clearly a little behind the line and that incident you speak of...my gripe is with the 3rd umpires screwing us..i don't think NZ were screwed over there at all tbh.
If Bravo in the previous series, a call that saved a game, didn't then nothing will.
But there's basically no difference between the Brathwaite appeal and the Chanders lbw in the 1st test that you moaned about as another example of WI being dicked by the umpires.
The last was fellow West Indian Barath against Australia in '09 wasn't it? I remember you were naturally & justifiably excited about him too around that time. What ever happened to him?
Huge call that! In other words you honestly think he'll be an all-time great as well then? (considering few would doubt Shiv is one). Wow, the Windies will be some side in the next couple of years with both Brathwaite and Narine likely to become ATGs !
ummm Chanderpaul LBW?
Nice bait....but it's not working.
I was merely bemoaning things going against us...i don't recall saying the Shiv one was on the same level as the Pujara, Clark, Roach and Jerome Taylor ones via 3rd umpire.
Haha, what absolute bollocks!
Bait or fact? Considering.... 1) I vividly remember you going on and on about Barath at the time & how good he'll be & 2) You just minutes ago said you honestly think Brathwaite could be another Chanders and just weeks ago started the ATG thread about Narine. I know it all may sound like fanatical baiting, but it was you who said it all, nobody else. It's not like I'm fabricating anything.
Haha, which is exactly our point isn't it? Sometimes bad decisions get made by the umpires and you just have the cop them. But coming to the conclusion that a bad decision going against you is a part of some grand conspiracy against your side, and then writing off bad calls against the opposition as "50:50" is poor.
Don't even think about painting others with that brush. The majority of posters here (both NZ & WI fans) are generally both fair and measured. So no, we won't all look in the mirror.
