Even if West Indies lose this, if Bravo scores a double ton it would be one of those occasions in which giving a losing player MotM would be reasonably justifiable.
With the exception being if someone from the winning team also got a double ton. ;)

What's Ian Smith saying?

But, yeah, wow. Incredible innings by Bravo. Just phenomenal.

He's saying that because the bowlers have gone over time (i.e. they're taking the extra 30 mins to get in the 90 overs), the umpires should offer Bravo the option to go off since "he's done his job".

His job is facing 90 overs jfc.

What's Ian Smith saying?
That Bravo shouldn't have to work "over time" because of his "achievements". The umpires should ask him if he wants to pull stumps on the day.

Basically, Smitheh has his daily banquet waiting for him in his hotel room, and he's very hungry!

Well that's not a pleasant score to come home to.

You can't drop a good player twice and expect to win test matches. We better pray the weather doesn't intervene tomorrow or this has Eden Park written all over it.

Wow. Yeah, that's ridiculous.

Anyway, that's the end of a pretty demoralising day for us. But full credit to Bravo - monumental.

Huge day for the Windies. Huge day for our bowlers too but not in terms of results.

Draw approaching NZ win in odds imo, even if the betting odds disagree.

Well done guys. Finally some fighting spirit and all through the innings.

Lets see what tomorrow brings.

Great effort from the Windies. It seems a world wide phenomenon that pitches seem to be improving as matches go on. No wonder most captains no longer enforce the follow on and batsman seem to be chasing down bigger and bigger fourth innings totals.
