WI bowling. Good luck SoR

The pitch is very grassy. Should be heaps of pace, seam movement, and bounce.Fulton and McCullum didn't have any problems biffing around Finn's pies last season. He'll need to do more than just be fast.
Yeah, it's a good start for yer Kiwis. With Sammy the only other seamer it could be a long day in the field if WI don't pick up a wicket or two before drinks.They've been a bit wayward and this scrambled seam bowling is odd, but I can't help but feel Sammy got suckered. When the sun peeks through the pitch already looks browner.
Still no where near panic stations yet of course.
His play reminds me of Dilshan. He's happy to drive through the line but as soon as he's batting against taller bowlers who get some bounce I hope he has the smarts to put that shot away until it's properly full.Slightly airy square drive by Rutherford followed by a gorgeous off drive. Need more of the latter and less of the former please - the first one wasn't a ball to be going after in the fifth over of the game. Don't get carried away Hamish.
Just Best to Rutherford I think, like they're targeting his hip/chest. Seem to be a bit fuller to Fulton.Sounds like the West Indies are bowling much much too short on a Dunedin green pitch. Shades of 1980?
