I've resisted saying if for a while but we gotta bring my boy in.

Not until he starts converting.

that pitch match is just shocking

 

[Bahnz]

It's so lovely watching Ross and Kane bat together. Two excellent technicians at work.

Lovely day in Wellington now. 2/80 is a poor start for the Windies given the conditions available.

 

[BeeGee]

Honours even, imo.

 

[hendrix]

A lot riding on these two batsmen.

Up to them to take McCullum up to the top of the mountain so he can do some skiiing

Honestly, if we were to lose a wicket after lunch I'd send Watling out.

Well, that session could have been a whole lot worse. Happy with 79-2, all things considered.

probably a good call, but on the other hand McCullum is the ****ing captain so needs to go in at his position no matter what

Tuned in just before lunch, unfortunately Gabriel was bowling, can;t even bowl the same ball twice, shocking. This is where Rampaul's length and bounce would of been a great asset if, and its a big if after watching this West Indies "attack", they finally understand that bowling full is the key to getting wickets.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Interesting dicussion from the commentary team about Gabrielle's grip contradicting with his wrist release. He certainly doesn't quite seem to know what he's trying to do with the ball.

 

[hendrix]

bugger. He's been out like that far too many times.

 

[BeeGee]

Huge wicket.

WI ahead.

 

[straw man]

Dammit, this was a very useful partnership that was accumulating nicely.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I trust Williamson to play that shot against bowlers like sammy but he really should put it away against quicks

 

[Meridio]

****, Kaneh, you were looking so good. Unnecessary shot. Big chance for WI now, don't hugely fancy McCullum or Anderson to score runs in these conditions.
