*Official* New Zealand in West Indies, AUG 10 to 21, 2022

[thundaboult]

Oh boy, 2 bad shot selections. Time for some Boult sparks.

 

[Moss]

Slow pitch maybe, and the Windies spinners in particular have used it well, but this has been a crap batting effort.

 

[thundaboult]

Can anyone explain to me why Neesham hasn’t played an ODI in 18 months and yet they don’t pick him for any of 5 so far on this tour

Bracewell bias, subc wc bias.

the establishment haven't exactly been tight lipped over their dislike of his personality through the years. 'is actually clever and funny' isn't what the dudebros like.

 

[trundler]

A 20 over 80 from Hope would be perfect for WI here.

 

[thundaboult]

Brillaint from the windies...they're coming back into the groove. We are slipping a wee bit.

Yeah, he's socially incompatible. I'm not socially challenged at all. Btw my cleaner is Samoan.

Sounds more like Herr Hess

 

[thierry henry]

Southee and Boult rolling over with 5 overs to go is peak ‘we don’t pay them to bat buuuuuut’

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

A good target to chase for us. It’s about time our batting showed some balls

 

[thundaboult]

Rain could save us here.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I'm watching but don't see any such thing.

You saw it right?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ugh, Mayers gone

Shai’s SR check: 112.5

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Just like that Shai

 

[TheBrand]

Kind of crazy that Boult has 20 wickets less than Southee in 2/3rds of the amount of games. What a weapon.

 

[ataraxia]

We really have been a sub-par ODI batting lineup since the WC.

 

[Beamer]

Question for the west indian fans...has holder bowled a ball over 135 in the last few years?

Nope I don't think so. He has been particularly slow since his extended break, it's like he's not found his mojo yet.

 

[thundaboult]

Fergy no good

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

NZ chipping away at the wickets. It might be a 1-wicket win

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Pooran is gonna throw his wicket away as usual
