***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand

[RolledOver]

WI made mess of an easy target, really WI team offer no hopes and has been a major dissapointment in cricket world since some years!

 

[Francis]

This is intense - two complete loser countries, both lower tier teams, needing a good test win for confidence. Forget the ODI's, both can't win a test series against a serious country. This is really needed. I hope there's three left tomorrow needing about 40 runs so it can be competitive. It's intense baby!

 

[Zinzan]

Ramdin.....WHAT WERE YOU THINKING Advantage back to New Zealand !

 

[Perm]

Stupid. That sums up the shot by Ramdin. Odds heavily in NZ's favour now.

 

[Francis]

Yeah Bond will be firing tomorrow. I says keep the game going another 10 overs. Give the people what they want!

Looking for friends from New Zealand and the West Indies I see Francis

What, did someone suddenly switch off the lights?

I'd love to have friends from the West Indies Zinzan Brooke.

Anyway it's gonna take some Edgbaston grit to win this one. Losing that last wicket hurt... 45 with 3 wickets means NZ will probably win, but it's still interesting. Now there only two wickets left which hurts. I feel bad for the West Indies, cricket needs them to come back and be great.

Let's be honest, Zinny - nobody wants a friend called Francis.

 

[Beleg]

wow, this seems like an exciting finish. Wish I was able to follow it on television.

I hope this won't be considered advertising, as it's nothing of the sort, but it's a bit of a revelation into how desperately precious Fleming is. I'm disappointed Rigor didn't chuck a few barbs back in his direction.

[Jono]

Wow, what the?

Accusing Rigor of forgetting who his mates were, and bringing up how he was the most boring batsman to watch. Amazing considering how many times that boring batsman saved NZ.

Mark Richardson totally didn't see that coming at all as well. His reaction is priceless.

 

[Macka]

Some things

- Martin should never play cricket again :P
- Simon Doull ... possibly the worst commentator i have ever heard in my life

Can't be worse than Mark Richardson. Can someone please tell him "fairies" and "theories" are different words and hence should be pronouced accordingly?

And don't even get me started on Cairns. Him and Richardson commentating together are enough to put me asleep. Coney is great to listen to, though.

I thought Fleming wouldn't be too pleased about that interview. When I heard it I thought 'Jeez Fleming is going to give it to him once the cameras stop rolling' Especially considering that New Zealand were going into today thinking they were going to struggle to win. Fleming was under pressure and Richardson's comments wouldn't have helped (particuarly as he was a team mate so recently)

Richardson really is a clown though IMO, speaks a lot of crap.

 

[Smudge]

But do you think that excuses Fleming's comments? Richardson's doing his job.

What was actually said during the interview?

 

[andyc]

Woah. What had Richardson said to Fleming to make him say that!? It was completely out of line to say something like that to him, especially when on camera.

 

[Blaze]

Yes I do, they are mates, I am sure Richardson will get over it. It's just unfortunate that the camera crew kept rolling because now a big deal will be made about it.

 

[Zinzan]

Couldn't agree more about our bad luck. But all we need is one breakthrough and then its a new ball game , you know that Blaze.........thats the beauty of cricket.

I agree are W.I's favours, but i'm not writing us off yet

Tim, Blaze all i can say is ...Oh yee of little faith

Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity to gloat.

It ain't over quite yet, even though NZ look favourites. I won't entirely write off the westindies yet, if New zealand have a bad first 6-7 overs and the west indies get a few gimmies (from the likes of Franklin and Martin) and a few edges away, it could become very tense. Wonder what the odds are on a famous tie ?
