*Official* West Indies in New Zealand - Nov/Dec 2020

[Meridio]

Yeah that's top bowling, was setting him up for it - WI haven't seen Jamieson before, the first few balls he sent across him then followed with the fuller inswinger.

 

[nzfan]

That's it, no more interest in watching the WI batters. Was hoping for Bravo hundred and knocking over the rest. No more... Just watching too admire the bowling now

 

[nzfan]

They have to go up for that one, looks out.

Good swing bowling by Neil Boultner

Good to see our boys beat up on WI-SL-BAN-lite for the 100th time. Lets see this against South Africa, Australia and India in their backyards now please.

Quite a throwback that Wagner wicket. A couple of 'cricket' friends who otherwise watch a fair amount of NZ games were surprised to learn there's more to him than being a short ball merchant.

 

[nzfan]

It's quite relentless the bowling at the moment. No bridesmaid in this bowling line up. Each one is a genuine wicket taker so it's quite hard to keep them all out consistently on this deck. It takes special skills, lots of patience and plenty of luck.

Well Holder just had his bit of luck...

I know he is a class bowler, but if Wagner is swinging it this much you know conditions are pretty good for bowling...

It's been swinging a lot the whole game. Apart from Kane and Latham- all other NZ batsmen looked like they could get out next ball. Windies bowlers will probably learn in the next match, it would have a lot tougher for us if they had supported Roach better from the other end.

Blundell's keeping is so good. Dowrich and Brooks found it so hard with the ball swinging after it's left the stumps. Blundell's take are so much smoother and assured. Shows how much playing in our conditions makes a difference to all facets of the game.

Not sure I agree. The stats show it has swung way more today. 1.2 to 1.8 I believe it was.

I think we were average on the first morning but then bowled well from then on. Kane was just too good.

 

[Moss]

Earn the right! It's been a while..

 

[Pup Clarke]

Jamieson has swag. Just looks super confident, and is executing his skills very well

 

[Bahnz]

Disgraceful stuff from Wagner until that last over. If he keeps that up he'll ruin his short ball:full ball wickets ratio.

Wagner's always been an ok swing bowler. Managed to maintain a test average in the low 30's until he had his eureka moment with the short ball v SL in 2015. It's part of what makes him such an asset to the side, he can play different roles for different conditions.

 

[straw man]

Wow what a morning, just catching up on the wickets.

Some really good bowling, though tbh they bowled well last night too, it's just that Brathwaite and Campbell were very watchful and disciplined last night. But a clump of wickets was always a good possibility (esp with Bravo's fitness and Brooks having had to keep) and Campbell gifted the breakthrough.

Jamieson looks very very good this season.

 

[Beamer]

That delivery from Boult should be the definition of unplayable.

 

[Beamer]

That wasn't the most intelligent shot from Blackwood. I'm shocked I tell you!

Dowrich not batting? We are truly done for, possibly today. Kane Williamson wins by an innings....
