**Official** New Zealand in West Indies

[Howsie]

Typical, forgetting a certain World Cup I think. Was New Zealand's best bowler by a country mile after we got back from India.

Southee bowled tidily this morning, did he not?

We all know he's a talent, a major one at that. He's got ample chance in the upcoming months to prove himself (red ball wise) otherwise there are guys like Milne, McClenaghan, Wheeler etc who await a chance.

No doubt, it was a good few weeks of ODI cricket for him. Pity about everything else that he's done in the last 4 years.

Just out of interest, does anyone know if a stumping would be overruled via the third umpire if the keeper took the ball in front of the stumps? Guptill's one was close, probably safe enough but got me thinking.

 

[Athlai]

Pretty certain that it would. Can't take the ball in front of the stumps from memory.

Haddin WAFC etc. etc.

If you guys have any questions after the game, Feel free to send me a personal message and I will sure ask that in the press-conference. I would think there would be folks interested in asking some questions to the black cap contingent.

0.3 Mills to Smith, SIX, 150.7 kph, and Smith takes full toll of the free hit, in the slot outside off, Smith gives himself lots of room to get under it and smites it over long-on

Mills bowling 150.7 kph? Sure...

 

[SteveNZ]

Haddin WAFC etc. etc.

Yep, you definitely can't - I've just never heard of it being called.

Mills 150km/ph. Haha. He's pushing it to make 130 these days. Like his change-ups, though - might get him a World T20 spot.

Gayle show or Euro final?

 

[stumpski]

177 looking a tough ask atm, RR up to 10 already with both openers gone.

Incidentally here's how the local paper previewed the matches - I always like to see cricket being explained for Americans.

I think we may have a bit of trouble with Narine over the next few weeks.

 

[SilentOne]

I'm predicting we won't win a game on this Windies tour.

useless ****s.

 

[SteveNZ]

Err......yep. You're right. This pitch isn't particularly taking any turn and we're bamboozled. On dust bowls, as we're led to believe they are in the Caribbean, it could get ugly.

Utterly outclassed here. Can't see where the runs are coming in the ODIs, especially if Taylor is out, and there's not much to enthuse bowling-wise either.

Any questions for the kiwis afterthis abject display guys come on..

 

[Bonnie Prince C]

Commentators wondering how Samuels can bowl a 122kph fast ball?

Well you see it is called throwing...

Who would win in a fight, Athlai or Flem?
