West Indies tour of NZ

[Gunner]

Last 5 overs 88/1.

That’s some great hitting, but also some seriously shocking bowling.

[No Quarter]

Jamieson snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Did we really have no one else to bowl?!

[KiwiMurph]

Never in doubt

[Gunner]

Wheeew. We snuck of jail there.
Good comeback in the 2nd half of that over from Jamieson, but by Christ we should have never been in that position.

he seems so unsuited for t20
his figures are terrible, his bulk and size dont go well as a fielder as we saw on 1 occasion
on top of that hes terribly injury prone, why do they keep risking him?

[Bovidae]

NZ needs to pick more T20 specialists rather than hope that the likes of Jamieson, Conway and Ravindra perform in a format less suited to their skills.

[Virgil]

Yup that’s why we aren’t competing as well as the other teams. The bulk of their selections are t20 specialists.
We have a few good ones already but we need to identify more and give them a decent chance
Given the workloads and often injury issues, it makes fuck all sense picking guys like Henry, jamieson etc in all 3 formats

Yep there is a lot resting on those two as guys who are massively important in the longest form of the game. I'd much rather the shits and giggles type bowlers make up the T20 squad.

Maybe they feel Jamieson needs game time ? and that with his height and awkwardness he should be more economical ?

Matt Henry is in the fortunate ( or unfortunate ) position of being bloody good at all three forms of the game.

[Higgins]

Just watched the first over from Nelson and there is something not quite right seeing the Windies opening with a left arm off spinner.

[booboo]

114 for 3, 12.3 overs. Conway gone by direct hit.

[MN5]

Bracewell has been an absolute passenger this series so far. He needs a big one.

[booboo]

19 off the 15th as Good Mitch belts a couple. 142 for 3

Tough to go off a run out.

Ah well, double figures is progress and he has a chance to have a bowl too.

Black Caps falling apart here after being on target for a decent total.

Getting worserer.

We'll be 20 behind where we should be

Yep, a flurry of wickets.

Windies bowling well.

[MN5]

Lowest total ever batting first at this ground. Not a good sign. 177-9.

[MN5]

The moment I remembered this was on I started watching and the BCs lost 31-6. The good news is I have to go to the tip and to Bunnings so will miss watching the Windies bat.

We got this.
