**Official** New Zealand in West Indies

[BeeGee]

The NZ bowling is starting to get a bit loose.

 

[BeeGee]

Hawkeye shows the ball hitting off stump.
Cozier: "Ball hits middle".

Is he going blind?

 

[BeeGee]

My favourite score, 123 for 5.

 

[BeeGee]

This is an excellent partnership. They're raising the RR nicely without taking many risks.

 

[Meridio]

Cheers BeeGee, we needed that wicket.

Cheers BeeGee, we needed that wicket.

You're welcome.

Southee trips over his own feet.
Not such a good job in the field for NZ. Dropping catches is becoming a bit of a habit.

A ridiculous number of wides, also. Latham missed a few down leg side, too.

 

[BeeGee]

Superb comeback from the WI. They really were in huge trouble early.
The partnership between Pollard and Thomas really got them back in the game.

Looks like a batsman's track out there now. It'll be interesting to see how McCullum and Taylor go in NZ's chase.

If I were Tino Best, I'd try to get my shirt number changed to 95 I think. 264 is a decent target, far more than looked likely when they were 50-odd for 4. Still a bit sad to see Sarwan batting for Leics on the other side at the same time, though.

 

[Stumpcam]

A ridiculous number of wides, also. Latham missed a few down leg side, too.

Twenty? Twenty runs conceded in wides in 50 overs - ridiculous is right!

Could easily be the difference beteen the teams..............

 

[screamingfields]

Do you have someone who looks after you?

So New Zealand lose an early wicket. Oram and McCullum to be the important batsmen.

 

[BeeGee]

Best is looking sharp. He just needs to find a little movement.

 

[screamingfields]

Rob Nicol getting good shots in. Best vs Nicol... The batting conditions looks good.

 

[Raghav]

Poor decisions from Sammy that favored NZ in 3rd & 4th ODI's. He has chosen to chase in 3rd ODI when they should have batted first and they opted to bat first in bowling friendly conditions today morning..

 

[screamingfields]

McCullum gone. Rob Nicol in good nick, bad shot from McCullum. Russell looks like a great find for the Windies.

 

[Raghav]

Ross: Hope you avoid playing that cross hit to leg side big shot against Narine early in your innings....

 

[BackFootPunch]

Nicol ffs

 

[BeeGee]

NZ batsmen getting themselves out. Terrible start by NZ.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Quick runs at least though so Williamson can take a bit of time to get himself in now.

 

[screamingfields]

Big moment for New Zealand. Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson. Need a partnership.

McCullum in his usual self; the way he gets out is really depressing. That was just inexperience from Nicol, he was batting so well, what was the need for that lofted shot on leg side with Bravo standing there? He could just nudge the ball around with Taylor who is looking in good form. Now it's upto Williamson
