Should never have been taken off. Replacing him with Sodhi when there's only one wicket to go is baffling.
it is actually ridiculous. You don't try and play a player into form in test match cricket. These are matchwinning runs for the Windies.

as awesome as southee is there's four other bowlers in this side and the last thing we need is an injury so it's fair to be cautious with him

This is frustrating. Agree Southee and for that matter Boult should be bowling instead of Sodhi and Anderson here; Best slogs a few more and they get 400 and the game starts to look unwinnable.

that's silly. A couple of overs won't kill him. Was it a monster spell? They're one wicket away from bowling them out, and Southee had taken a wicket in his previous over. It's ludicrous.

It's really not. You call it "just a couple more" but you gotta draw the line somewhere. Anderson should've had best anyway.

gentle freaking bouncers to an 11. As well as Anderson's bowled as 4th seamer, this is not what should be happening.

This is very annoying. I'm waiting until they take this wicket before I go to lunch. Not doing any work in protest as well tbh.

Good innings from the WI. Chanderpaul outstanding.

NZ need their batsmen to stand up. Especially the openers.

I think we need runs from Rutherford here because I can see the middle order really stuttering with this scoreboard pressure.
Fair to say that it was a poor bowling effort after having them 5-90.

And I'll just repeat that when you're bowling to the tail you can afford to bowl 10, 12 over spells with your strike bowler because you know he won't need to bowl again in the day. What we're seeing is A team captaincy and I don't like it.

Anyway, it's over now.
