West Indies tour of NZ

[Cyclops]

Roston Chase is a passable 7 or a really good 8. Badly miscast at 5. Greaves the same.

Comment on cricinfo ( probably stolen from @virgil )

"Is this live? Fees like a match from yesteryear, whereby Chanderpaul stands alone."

[Cyclops]

120/5 at tea. Good session for us, Windies weak middle order exposed. Good opportunity to get a decent first innings lead with a good final session. This partnership is the key. Imlach the last guy who will really be able to offer resistance.

[nzzp]

Fun fact

both NZ and WINDIES were 123/4

one two three for five

[MN5]

Chanderpaul finally gets to 50 off 165. Gutsy innings.

[MN5]

GONE

Conway finally takes a catch and an excellent one at that. Chanderpaul gone bowled Foulkes.

[Cyclops]

Conway holds onto the hardest of the three to finally get arid of him. I believe the drops were 5, 24 and now out for 52. So not that many runs really.

[MN5]

Windies tail looks pretty weak if Roach is batting 8. Time to clean them up Henry !

[Donsteppa]

Bracewell now with a brain explosion at second slip.

[Bovidae]

What is it with Wellington players dropping catches?

Mitchell would have caught that.

[Chris B.]

FFS!

That's going to be a goober for Mitch Jr!

The Channel 9 commentators from the 80s would have an absolute field day on our catching efforts!

[Crazy Horse]

I did not know they had done that at the old Lancaster Park site. I like it.

[Cyclops]

Smith bowls too many no balls.

Bracewell is like a pre-Indian tour homeless man's Satnav

[mariner4life]

thanks Paul Reiffel for that wicket

[Cyclops]

167 all out, 5 for Duffy. I guess we have to bat again tonight?

[Cyclops]

I'm surprised Conway didn't try to take a nightwatcher

[Chris B.]

According to me:

Duffy has a test bowling average of 12.3 and Foulkes is averaging 8.9.

Matt Henry needs to pull finger!

[Cyclops]

32/0 at stumps, lead 96.

Good position to be in. Hopefully a bright sunny day tomorrow and plenty of runs. More likely, another tough day grinding to 250 and 300+ lead and a couple of overs at them before stumps.
