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

I am outraged by the exclusion of Blackwood and the inclusion of Shillingford. As If Windies batting attack is so strong. Shillingford didnt even bowl and was completely ineffective.

On a side note it almost seems to me that the slectors were waiting for Jerome taylors fitness in order to sack Sammy.

This bowling attack is the best attack we have had since Ambrose and Walsh.

 

[GGG]

Nah, Gayle has looked like getting out almost every other ball today. Mind you, you could've said the same about his innings at Trinidad, and he ended up absolutely destroying the bowling attack (admittedly in a no pressure situation).

Yeah he should have been out earlier, happy?

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah he should have been out earlier, happy?

Ummmm...yes?

 

[Swingpanzee]

Why'd they change the ball?

 

[Bahnz]

Went soft apparently.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Is it just me or are balls changed far too frequently in recent times?

 

[Bahnz]

It's certainly happened an awful lot in New Zealand's recent matches. Last summer the ball was changed within the first 20 overs in almost every innings of every test.

 

[Swingpanzee]

NZ have bowled absolute filth today. Especially Southee

 

[Bahnz]

Maybe McCullum should try and get the ball changed again.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Well played Braithwaite.

 

[Swingpanzee]

I think the best aspect of play today has been the absence of Danny Morrison.

 

[Bahnz]

Craig was bowling pretty well before the ball change, but he's been serving up absolute pies ever since.

 

[Swingpanzee]

seriously why hasn't wagner been introduced yet? the 3 haven't seemed threatening at all.

 

[Zinzan]

seriously why hasn't wagner been introduced yet? the 3 haven't seemed threatening at all.

McCullum must have forgotten he's playing. Needs a telegraph from Blocky.

 

[Swingpanzee]

it's frigthening how quickly the 50 stand has come up. WI almost snatched the match from NZ. Unless something drastic happens.

 

[Bahnz]

Ugh, this is the worst collective bowling effort by NZ since day 1 of the Cape Town test last year. This is just absolute dross and lunch can't come fast enough.

 

[Swingpanzee]

I guess Blocky sent a telegraph after all.

 

[Bahnz]

Here comes Neil "mid-140's" Wagner.

 

[fishyguy]

140/1....im in heaven

 

[Swingpanzee]

Williamson to get a 9-fer. And then be banned for a suspect action.
