***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2017

[straw man]

Congrats to Boult on 200 wickets! Next stop - overtaking Timmeh (currently on 207).

 

[straw man]

Sounds like some hostile bowling from Wagner this morning.

To those listening on radio, how bad was this?

Wagner to Ambris, FOUR, top-edge, straight through the cordon. Short ball again, gets too big on him, comes on right at his face and he plays a hurried hook. Between first slip and keeper

Keeper's catch?

Ambris continues to really struggle against short ball.

 

[straw man]

Anybody else see this?

The birth of Kane Williamson

Wasn't bad, actually came off the helmet on the slo-mo I believe.

 

[NZTailender]

Gotta feel for Ambris. Bit of a horror debut series. Shame because he looks class.

Taylor was the only slip and was at second; the ball went above head height through where first slip would normally be - don't think either could have got to it tbh.

 

[Meridio]

Yeah this is hostile stuff from Wagner. Hitting that really difficult height and with good pace; it's not apparent on the speed gun but he's really firing it into the pitch.

 

[Gnske]

Are you really a man unless you've been bounced the **** out by a man called Neil?

 

[lockton2skipper]

Nasty Neil. Reaking havok.

 

[straw man]

Ambris on his way to hospital. He must just think cricket ****ing sucks right about now.

Can't really think of a worse start to a test career

 

[NZTailender]

Looking forward to losing the ODI series 1-2.

 

[NZTailender]

Rare clanger from Boult. Probably a harder catch than he made it look.

 

[NZTailender]

Literally have not heard of half of that WIndies ODI squad.

 

[straw man]

Black Caps ODI squad v West Indies:
Kane Williamson (c) (1st ODI only), Todd Astle, Trent Boult, Neil Broom (2nd & 3rd ODIs only) Colin de Grandhomme, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Adam Milne, Colin Munro, Henry Nicholls, Mitchell Santner (2nd & 3rd ODIs only), Tim Southee (1st ODI only), Ross Taylor, George Worker.

There's a lot of coming and going. Guptill injured, Worker to open. Williamson only playing first ODI - can't believe Broom is the backup batsman ffs. Santner has shoulder niggle so will miss first match. Southee will have a rest after first ODI. Maybe it's a 'rest'.

Sodhi has been overtaken by Astle. Pretty rough on Sodhi.

 

[Meridio]

Gavin Larsen is making me want to vomit with his Timmys and Tommys and Boultys and Doullys and stfu

 

[straw man]

Bruce, Phillips and Chapman; there's three names I would've prefered to see rather than Broom for a random ODI series.

 

[BeeGee]

Ambris on his way to hospital. He must just think cricket ****ing sucks right about now.

Yeah it's a shitter. Really should have been wearing an armguard. That's like painting a bullseye on your arm.

 

[Athlai]

Don't even need to get that optimistic IMO. Papps,Woodcock, Hamish Marshall. They'd all have been good

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Broom being in there and the non-selection of Sodhi is an absolute joke, imo.
