West Indies tour of NZ

MN5

Fuck

Nicely bowled from Roach. KW gone for nine.

With Blundell apparently not going to be batting there's a smidge of pressure on Ravindra and Young now.

The swing is nuts. The ball is literally going down leg and ending up in front of first slip.

If we can last this session with loss of only 1-2 and runs of 30 I’d take it.

you dont think we should be positive, swing at everything including wide driving shots on the up?

I see Blundell is out for the next test (will only bat in this 2nd innings if needed)
Assuming Hay will be playing, FC average of 48.
Hopefully one of those serendipitous happenings and he scores well

The selector I. N. Jury strikes again

It takes a real Blockhead to make a joke like that

MN5

Lovely shot to get off the mark for Ravindra. Four all the way.

Cyclops

Wags the commentator calling for more short pitch bowling is very on brand.

But he's not wrong

MN5

Ravindra dicing with death early on but hes certainly getting the strike rate moving !

MN5

Ravindra with a very quick fire 50 that you feel has completely taken the game away from the Windies.

Well played son.

No Quarter

Fantastic ton to Latham, means a bit to him as well

Bovidae

He looked ecstatic and relieved.

Cyclops

Was very cool see how pumped he was. First as captain, first vs West Indies, first in 40 innings.

This partnership has taken control of the game now. We'll presumably look to bat another couple of sessions and then declare with a lead of about 5-600

MN5

Huge session. Pretty much the winning of the test match right then and there.

Much needed ton from captain Latham and Ravindra coming in, playing risky but dominating as well.

247/2 lead of 311. Brilliant stuff.

Cyclops

When the keeper is yelling out 'enjoy cricket boys' you know that the fielding team is struggling.

No Quarter

Kane will be kicking himself, and possibly me for jinxing him, on missing out today. We are piling it on now, game over already just depends on when we declare but with it only being day 3, we don't need to declare at all.

Chris B.

@No-Quarter Declaration - just before lunch tomorrow - with a lead somewhere in excess of 500.

MN5

What a shot to bring up a ton. Have managed to watch virtually every ball.

Gave a couple of chances early on but he's played with swagger and authority. Superb knock and well needed with KW going cheaply, Mitchell not there and Blundell unlikely to bat.

Great work son. 103 not out.

Cyclops

Young will be sitting in the pavillion wandering if he'll get a chance to score a ton too or if these two will just keep on batting.

Ha yeah was thinking of him. He's on a bit of a hiding to nothing if one of these guys gets out soon.
