***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

They needed that.

That was ****ing braindead. I don't usually get grumpy over the oppo throwing it away but come on. He can't bat in bowling conditions and now he's giving it up in batting conditions. WAC.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

OK wagner don't pitch it up

 

[Bahnz]

Hmmm...would prefer to see Boult have another go from the northern end rather than Anderson. He isn't going to offer much of a threat in these conditions, and NZ need as many early wickets as they can get.

 

[African Monkey]

Awful shot from Powell. Batsmen shouls be disappointed if they don't cash in on this wicket.

yeah me too. Ideally Southee would be bowling at these two right handers but he'd be a bit cooked after an 8 over spell.

 

[WindieWeathers]

I think Powell's place in the side is gonna be in serious doubt after that!!...just stupid beyond belief. We all know the kid has talent but it's time to start scoring runs now!!..14 innings since he got a 50!!..not good enough.

Barath must be licking his lips because if he has a decent time for Trinidad in the four day competition he'll have a place waiting for him for sure.

"…We're wasting the new ball…it would be nice to see Ish Sodhi into the action…"

???

 

[wellAlbidarned]

time for nz's no1 spinner

 

[Flem274*]

KW on. McCullum's either desperately chasing a wicket or is just changing things up to keep the batsman thinking.

****s sake, if it's turning day 1 batting last will be enjoyable.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Lol it's turning for a guy with an injured bowling hand. This is literally the perfect pitch for WI to level the series. Yes I can definitely judge that 22 overs in

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Brathwaite is looking very crabby

 

[BeeGee]

McCullum bowled first so he could avoid any controversy from enforcing/not enforcing the follow on.

 

[straw man]

Any chance of Boult and Southee magicking up some swing when they come back with the 25+ overs ball? Hope so.

I'm perfectly happy with Williamson bowling a few before Sodhi does btw.

 

[hendrix]

If Boult doesn't bowl again this session I will be very peeved.

 

[BeeGee]

If Boult doesn't bowl again this session I will be very peeved.

Boult is off the field, he took a serious blow to his bowling thumb, Wagner is on

Is he injured?

EDIT: I guess not. Yay.

 

[Bahnz]

No.

We have to put up the runs first though!!..but anything above 350 and if it turns then boy it could get interesting..Narine on a turning track is...well..we'll see .

 

[straw man]

so this is a good wicket for Wagner to do lots of old-ball donkey work later on then

 

[Flem274*]

70/1 time?

edit: yup
