West Indies tour of NZ

Chris B.

I'd think Mitch Jr is pretty close if he can field at first slip.

Young and Conway both scored 37 in this test. But, it will surely be Young who sits out if Mitch Jr comes back in.

Yeah Conway would be safe based on the need for an opener ( although Young has opened too of course )

both these guys in a very similar predicament, Conway also has the history of getting big scores which Young unfortunately hasn't managed.

With them being a bowler down I wonder if Ravindra or even KW will turn the arm over ? hopefully Henry, Foulkes and Duffy don't make it an issue.....

Chris B.

I'd be aiming to set 550 in 5.5 sessions.

Ravindra definitely unless we run through them.

I'd be very surprised to see Kane - I think he's probably retired from bowling to preserve his longevity.

What’s that now, 3 or 4 strangled down the leg side in this game.

Bracewell gone caught behind off Roach. Hell of a catch !

Henry in, he'll have a swing.

MN5

Henry hits a six then caught behind ( DRS review ) very next ball. Roach with his 290th test wicket.

Chris B.

They're probably also thinking about how many overs they want to bowl prior to lunch with the new ball.

Four each from Henry, Foulkes and Duffy? Probably no more than that to get two goes with the new ball.

No Quarter

Happy for Roach, well deserved 5-for

Yep, nice to see some genuine emotion there, he was thrilled.

One of his generations better pace bowlers. 5th on their all time list !

MN5

Glenn Phillips in as a substitute fielder. Can't think of anyone better.

Chris B.

Chanderpaul looks a candidate for lbw - if Foulkes can get it very full and swinging.

Virgil

Duffy after lunch doing the damage, 2 wickets in 3 balls

No Quarter

As a former opening batsmen and wicket keeper, I hate to think how sore Latham is going to be after this test.

Alec Stewart may have been the last guy to open, captain and keep all in the same test ?

MN5

Michael Bracewell with the break through !!!!!! Windies 55/3. Only 476 to get so way too premature to start celebrating just yet.

So Nathan Smith not at the ground and sounds like Henry is playing through a niggle too. Are we going to run out of bowlers here?

Henry has gone for a scan at the hospital apparently.

Look like we’ll need Jamieson next test and maybe time for Sears to stop fucking around in Melbourne club cricket.

Who else is there?

Tickner.

Ravindra needs to turn the arm over more too.

Less than 400 needed to win now ! Windies will be fired up
