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

Haha onya Nath. I saw he had made 50 and I thought to myself 'I bet he gets out just before the hundred.' Admittedly, I have no proof, but there you go, great minds think alike.

Good stuff from Astle there with his 50, NZ well and truly on top here. Given their tail, they should be looking at anywhere from 350 upwards, especially if this partnership lasts.

Astle does it again, he must be Mr Consistent, another 50 and doesnt look like getting out. Weather permitting this should be another win, its a pity the Windies look so disinterested.

Fidel gets another.

Why isn`t Bond playing sorry?

He has a virus.

Yeah, Fleming's an idiot. That's ridiculous, seriously that's just ridiculous. Two things: He's forgotten what hundreds are, with some of his conversion rates in the middle. And the other thing is he's just an idiot talking about scoring tons and picking up the... uh... the hundreds in games; he has been one of the most frustrating players to watch and from what I've seen so far in this match, it is crap. He's forgetting how to score them; about two years ago he would have got a double ton..

But good to see Flem get some runs.

Cheers.

LOL at Lewis's average.. 375, SR of 741.

 

[NZTailender]

Theory: All Lewis's bowl poorly?

 

[Nate]

Based on evidential probabiltity, that`s correct.

Go General Maths.

Fleming hugging Richardson was more classic Flem.

I'm starting to get worried. Lara is bound to fire on this tour, but he hasn't done so yet.

I think it's just a matter of time.

Here's hoping.

Ditto. I' get the feeling it will be in this test.

Made any stupid posts about TVNZ racists here yet?

Morton gone, 75/2, and now, he comes.

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

Well that was anti climactic.

 

[Smudge]

Perhaps Lara should have spent more time on his batting and less time on slagging off the NZ press:

30.5 Astle to Lara, OUT: Gone! length ball on the off stump, swinging
away, Lara pushes on the front-foot and goes for the ball, ends up
slicing in the air to Marshall at point

Gone for 1.

 

[andyc]

Lara's scores this series: 5 (12), 0 (1), 1 (4), 1 (6). That's an average of 1.75.

 

[Zinzan]

Fleming just 2 away from 150 test catches now....top effort considering he hasn't played 100 tests yet

 

[Blaze]

Glad I didn't bother going today now that Lara is out.

I am tempted to go up to Napier in the hope that he will score at least double figures.
