*Official* West Indies in New Zealand - Nov/Dec 2020

[BeeGee]

This is what it's all about. Bowlers bowling well on a green deck, batsmen being patient and toughing it out.

I love test cricket.

Nice backfoot punch by Williamson his trademark shot.

Oh this is on today

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Hmmm, have always had the bar between me and old mate, but I wanna say about 5'8 1/2"

Get the **** out with this imperial system ****

I'm not convinced even people in firmly metric system nations really get what you're talking about when expressing human height in cm

If WI were 78/1 here we'd have kiwis bumping the NZ Doom and Gloom thread by now.

True ... but also we usually end up coming back from that and taking a flurry of wickets (on an NZ greentop at least). Still a bit there if West Indies up their game.

But on the other hand, this is a fairly standard NZ test pitch that looks nightmarish, but doesn't do too much with the kookaburra ball.

Gabriel and no-balls

Name a better pair

For years now the first session has always been the hardest to bat in NZ Test home games. So far it's been really good

De Villiers' pair.

@Daemon to confirm.

Now we all know Williamson should be on strike because they hadn't crossed when the overthrow was thrown, thanks 2019 WCF.

Disappointing only Bravo seemed to hear a potential edge

Big let off for NZ. That wicket would have been a big boost for the WI going into the break.

Indeed, some may say a good time for WI to regroup but a few things were just starting to happen before the break - the lbw appeal KW inside-edged, that let off and beating Williamson's outside edge all in the last 3 overs of that session to set batsman.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

lmao how the hell can't you hear that

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Is this Grant Elliott because I like it

Love the YouTube live stream

A bit frustrating I splashed out on an apple tv and subscribed to spark when I could have just used youtube and vpn, but I guess I'm indirectly supporting NZC. Have to say the Spark coverage is so far miles better than Sky's was.

I'm also enjoying their highlights from the archives. Jeff Wilson's match winning innings against Australia in 1993 really was superb. Only 19 at the time too. The Kane Williamson masterclass is also good value.
