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

[Burgey]

West Indies rarely fail to disappoint. Today is not one of those rarities. Good batting by these blokes but just not enough bowling in the right areas. Been all over the shop.

Oh fmd that's juniors division four standard keeping.

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.

Yes, I definitely hope they continue to build that archive up! (Especially the TVNZ days)

Rutherford would have smothered that

Wa-hey, good length, top of off does the trick.

Bowled the wrong length most of the day, lines have been mixed too.

That was a pretty lazy looking defensive stroke by Latham, almost like it was an afterthought.

Roach getting a bit of swing here all of a sudden

 

[Burgey]

Well batted Latham. Vital runs on day one. A poignant moment for Kemar Roach right there, that's for sure.

Lol who's the commentator saying "what a gut wrencher" about Latham not getting a ton, when the father of the bloke who's just bowled him died in the past day or so? I mean, perspective please.

Waiting on the Hendrix post about him being lazy.

That's awful about Roach's father passing away - condolences to him.

Love the swing measurement in degrees I can visualise the difference in my brain

How can you be posting when you're literally down Taylor's strides atm?

Curiously no mention from the commentary team whatsoever. Maybe they mentioned it in the first hour, which I missed.

You can fit a whole laptop in here.

I believe it.

Holder has been tight but not enough balls in the channel

 

[trundler]

WTF is up with Dowrich's keeping though? Was constantly juggling it in England too and got hit in the face doing it.

 

[Bahnz]

Jeez, look at that take off. Bounce, movement and a healthy grass coverage to preserve swing. WI must've been pretty poor to let NZ get to 200/2.

He's rubbish. Not much more to it.

 

[trundler]

He's rubbish. Not much more to it.

The old adage about good keepers not being unnoticed holds worthy. He draws a lot of attention by constantly falling over and letting it go through.

Kane's roll has slowed since he got 78ish

 

[Burgey]

How come Joseph isn't being consistently no balled for his back foot cutting the return crease? It's happening multiple times every over
