West Indies tour of NZ

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.

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

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.

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.

I've felt Ravindra has possibly been talked up slightly too much on here and was maybe a bit of a flat track bully but I'm coming round to him. He came in at a potentially banana skin period and has utterly dominated.
Very, very nice to watch too. Left handers often are for whatever reason.

Ravindra has made a mess of this calculation.
And as I type, Shields makes a mess of his stumps!
I'd still bat for an hour tomorrow - shut the door on a Windies win and run them around in the field!

the only thing is weather, otherwise i am on the same page as you. we probably already have 250 more than we need

They are going to need several batsmen scoring several times above their average

Looks like it will be fine.
If we were playing Australia we wouldn't be contemplating declaring overnight and leaving six sessions to get these runs, so I don't think we should leave any sort of door ajar for the Windies either, just so the boys can have a game of golf on Saturday afternoon!
Hope to crush them and get some batting practice at the same time.

On a side note I am disappointed, but not surprised, Stevenson is in trouble for calling the Chirst College guys 'syrup suckers'. It was just a bit of banter and sadly as usual nowadays there seems to be people lining up to be offended on behalf of others. So much for sticks and stones.

"A sexualised slur directed towards minors"
An old Christchurch joke (1940's is the earliest reference), but probably not a good thing to say on the telly.

Obviously wasn't the thing to say on the telly, especially in today's environment. I just don't think it's newsworthy. The coverage in the news probably exposed it to a wider audience. Now we all know what it means.

@Crazy-Horse Totally, the CC headmaster has unleashed a Streisand Effect, which is what my Syrup mates have been calling it...

Definitely around when I was at school many years ago. Pretty silly of Stevenson to go there on TV, unless he wants out of his contract.
