West Indies tour of NZ

Chris B.

Devon Conway. LVP. That was comfortable at this level.

Yeah - you've got to catch that - and especially when you've already dropped an albeit harder one.

Cyclops

Into the last over now. This has been a pretty rough session for us. 3 dropped catches, an umpires call gone against us plus a lot of playing and missing.

Hopefully the catching improves next session. We've kept things tight thought so the two wickets we have got are probably enough for us to have shaded the session but game is still wide open.

I never thought I'd see the day that former pie afficianado Matt Henry ended up with a better bowling average than Boult, Wags and Southee......but here we are.

He's at his home ground, time to have a good lunch, come out firing and get it even better.

Make the fielders stay out all lunchtime for catching practice

Cyclops

Chanderpaul has managed to push his average past 30 now.

MN5

DRS does its job. Hope gloves one to Latham off Duffy.

100/3

MN5

Henry gets Chase for a duck. Good catch from Latham. Windies 106/4.

Chris B.

Bang, bang Hope and Chase go in quick succession. Likely to happen with this Windies line-up, but we certainly needed it.

Now we need Chanders Jr. quite quickly, as well.

Cyclops

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

You know your cricket, Boomfah ! Henry with three !

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!
