Am I allowed to feel a little aggrieved that we've batted under grey skies and NZ got cloudless Skys? Feel like that has rather ruined this match as a contest.

Not that our batting is good enough anyway, but I thought we had a chance of batting out the day at least if conditions remained the same.

Alas it wasn't meant to be. We'd probably have folded anyway.

given all the reprieves (4 alone here for holder) i think the windies should have done better but i get it, we've sat through enough abject surrenders to understand the frustration you can't direct anywhere.

id be desperately looking through the caribbean for some coachable batsmen. forget world class, you're batting adequacy away from the mid-table when you have absolute guns like jason holder to bowl for you.

I think it's really only for limited overs cricket though. Zinzan was grumpy about Southee's place in the team a few years ago, and after the WC a few of us started thinking he might be past it. But in terms of consistent results its hard to argue that Southee's been NZ's best bowler in tests for the past few seasons.

Yes KJ could join Ben Sears in a building up a bit of collective frustration with Blundell's glovework over the next few years, probably. We'll have to watch that.

It's the way it goes sometimes for the golden ones and the clever ones. They often bear the worst consequences of any 'get lots of NZ domestic anons involved more in Tests' drive run by old hippie administrators.

This is where having a spinner in the side is kinda handy. Lob up a couple of slow ones and wait for a miscue.

Yes although wondering more from a perspective of sending this to a 4th day - its academic as to whether game is over today or not I guess but just intrigued if West Indies are likely to see out the day as I presume there will be an additional 30mins added with the game potentially minutes away from ending.

This might be the alcoholic brain damage speaking, but I don't get why he was mad on that first ball.

He was mad with Leo Carter for pulling him off the front foot on a pretty slow one in the South Island and making his way towards a 50. Sears doesn't need anything big to have happened to become irascible. Hamish Bennett talked about this in the pre-season podcast. It's just a consequence of being about 60 IQ points above the mean in what people are egging you on to make your chosen profession, I suppose.
