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

[Blocky]

They didn't throw it away they were gotten out by good bowling.

McCullum and Rudds threw it away.

Taylor squared up against a delivery, Williamson got beaten by flight which made the turn and bounce more appreciable. Both mistakes by set batsmen.

 

[Zinzan]

Ahh ***** it. I thought that was Craig run-out, not Neesham

 

[Flem274*]

craig is such a glorious troll, and can genuinely bat too

 

[Blocky]

I'm liking the mentality of Craig, controlled innings to date - now looking to attack the bad balls and make them pay while he can.

 

[Zinzan]

He can certainly hit a ball

 

[Blocky]

If we can eek out some runs from Wagner and Boult and get ourselves around 300-330 - I think we're still in with a shot. We have a better bowling attack than we did in the last game, they're one batsman short and have a long long tail.

they both made mistakes, yes, but as I said earlier, you can say that about 90% of dismissals - there's usually at least some batsman error.

Benn and Roach have genuinely bowled well.

Yep, He should take Rutherford out for a coaching clinic.

 

[GGG]

Bah a runout of all things in the situation we are in. Well batted though Jimmy.

 

[BeeGee]

Time for the BeeGee radical team selection:

Craig
Latham
Williamson
Taylor
Neesham
Anderson
Watling
Sodhi
Southee
Wagner
Boult

It requires McCullum to retire early and Craig to work on his batting, but IMHO it's ****ing awesome.

Tastle in opening and Craig in Sodhi's position, IMO.

 

[hendrix]

Don't worry Jason, Wagner will hit you back with an equally pedestrian 125kph bouncer.

 

[GGG]

I like it, 2 and a half spinners and 5 seamers.

 

[hendrix]

bit of reverse there for Roach.

 

[Blocky]

Yeah, because Wagner wasn't just bowling mid 140s against India in the last series or anything was he.

struggling to deal with the quadruple negative, but no, he wasn't.

 

[Zinzan]

Ok, NZ 1st Innings score sweep then;

312 for me. And would still say Windies would have their noses in front if they we got there.

300, and it will be par.

Ok, Argue with facts.
