**Official** New Zealand in West Indies

Just look at Vettori scrambling desperately for the last wicket to pad his figures. What an embarrassment. Is he still captaining?

Nah, Taylor.

Well, I say "captaining". Lot of motion going throughing on display.

If lunch is coming either way then there's even more reason to whack it because you just lose extra overs if you come back out.

And Bracewell gets the bonus wicket. What a waste of time.

 

[thierry henry]

Bracewell has an uncanny ability to make the ball not bounce

 

[BoyBrumby]

Good review and we're finally there. 522ao. Third ball from the third new ball does the trick.

Give the utter lack of spin from Vettori one wonders why there was the delay in taking it, but what do I know?

Vettori hasn't been captain for bloody ages.

Rhetorical question, I know who our captain is ftr

 

[thierry henry]

wow, you too?

Did kinda wonder after I posted it, but I'm a credulous kinda ****.

 

[Prince EWS]

Wouldn't have said anything, but you made a post not long ago which I let slide that seemed to be suggesting you thought Vettori would've been captain if he played in Hobart.

tbf POOS took it at face value as well, I guess there's no limit to how stupid people think I am

Kudos to Van Wyk, no byes in a total of 522 (Ramdin conceded 14, although I daresay he might have been unlucky as umpires give bowlers ridiculous leeway with short balls outside leg).

Drinks, but not for me - had more than enough last night.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Doesn't get any less pathetic taking 'wickets' off no-balls. How many times has Roach done it now?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Roach again bowling a no ball wicket; that's a disaster, what a precious wicket that would have been

WI have a spinner in their team, thats where all the byes went.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Test is heading for a draw now

 

[Meridio]

Don't speak too soon.

 

[Hurricane]

Smart Captaincy by Sammy to switch NArine's end. Wagner not really looking that comfortable against him.

 

[Meridio]

New Zealand don't have superstars. They have efficient Test players who perform specific roles that add up to pose a challenge to the opposition.

Just for a change, Cricinfo rolling out the cliches.

Anyway, decent effort with the bat so far, but once again two set batsmen have got out in reasonably quick succession. And within sight of stumps. We're still a long way from safety, especially Gayle in good form.

 

[Hurricane]

Shame we are losing John Wright - the guys are batting with the perfect tempo.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea but New Zealand have... err... Williamson.
