Good to see Craig bounce back after the first innings. Good stuff.

shilly has no idea

Holder playing his shots (Y)

Surely if WI play out these overs they would end up winning?

 

[GGG]

That was Ronchi? Looked like a extra out of Dallas Buyers Club.

If they get 4 an over then yes.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

So watling collected his first ever international stumping. Wafg

 

[viriya]

If they get 4 an over then yes.

With the batsman that hit the 2nd fastest 50 of all-time at the crease, anything is possible.

 

[Maximas]

Nah, the windies won't get close to the total at this rate, looks like they're happy to try and see out a draw in any case, it's weird to watch actually, they look like they are trying to score but just can't quite, even though the situation calls for more cautious batting

 

[viriya]

It's unlikely, but if this pair goes at 3/over for another 10 overs, WI will look at the possible steal imo.

Easier hitting a fast 50 when there is no pressure.

 

[Maximas]

It's almost as if they are trying to scare NZ into thinking they are going for the win in order to try and reflect some of the pressure onto them, I'm not ruling it out with the next two batsmen to come in likely to continue in a similar vein if the draw still looks unlikely

They won't need a fast 50 though.. just enough wickets to go for it in the last 10 overs (not sure you can call 3 wickets enough still)

Yes, counterattack is probably the best strategy for WI atm.. gets NZ thinking defensively and it's probably the natural game for the remaining batsmen to be aggressive.

 

[GGG]

At the rate they are going they are going to need someone to get a run a ball 50, Last 10 ovs 23/0 RR 2.30.

 

[Maximas]

looked a little legside for mine

 

[Maximas]

no that's straight actually, matter of height

 

[GGG]

I call bullcrap on that hawk eye, the ball was going down.

 

[RxGM]

Time to chuck it to Kane
