In the face of all the injuries, I just hope they don't rush Taylor back too early.
... and Taylor injures his shoulder... again... dropping a catch... again.

Taylor should not have been playing in this game. He should have rested until the Tests.

Oram almost got a wicket with that drop catch... Latham should be up at the stumps for the most part.
Why? There's some uneven bounce in this pitch; look at that delivery from Oram that took off. If he comes up to the stumps it makes it so much more difficult for him to get a catch.

There should be at least one slip for Oram. 30 runs from this pair. Good/important so far for the West Indies. But the unevenness is there within the pitch.

A wicket for Oram! Another wicket after a decent looking partnership.

T20 batting lineup biting them in the butt. Terrible shot.
Hardly surprising now that a ODI bowler like Oram is getting that wicket.

New Zealand play well. They'll run through the batting line up and finish off everything with good batting.

Would have to fancy your chances of knocking West Indies over. There's basically Samuels and some hitters/****e.

Will be interesting to see how New Zealand go about things with their bowling resources.

It's pretty hard to understand the logic behind playing so many all rounders in the team; 50 over format still requires some see through and ability to rotate strikes. Windies can get away with this sort of setup in T20 but not a good decision to play so many all rounders and sending them to play at top order. Windies definitely need some proper batsmen upfront and play only two allrounders at middle order or late middle order.

I really like the idea of playing Chanderpaul as Gayle's opening partner in ODIs. It would add some much needed solidity at the top of the innings. Charles and Simmons have done nothing this series.
