@Chris-B Geez regardless how this plays out its been a sensational performance from the Windies

Yeah - just on the basis of their application. To bat nearly two sessions and not get out is an awesome effort.

We have done (almost) enough to win though - the drop of Roach was very poor and two umpiring errors.

All those dropped catches and shitty reviews add up

If we got Greaves right now, there's still enough time for panic at the disco.

Beasty is clutching his arm a bit now...

[canefan]

Where was this pressure before? Was Latham playing to avoid a loss?

[Steven Harris]

We need to bowl a few gimmies to get them making some shots

[canefan]

Beasty just not quality enough to consistently drop the ball on the magic spot

[canefan]

Wags ever the warrior, thinks we shouldn't have let Greaves off strike. I agree, punish the injured guy

[Steven Harris]

Windies were paying around $100 bucks yesterday to win , i did’nt see what the draw was paying but safe to assume it would have been around the $20 mark
Dont forget to bet responsibly

I don't think it's churlish to say this would have been over by lunch if Henry and Smith had a bowl.....

Rigor made an interesting point about substitutes. He's all for substitute fielders but not for guys to bat or bowl. I'm kind of in two minds, I mean it's like the All Blacks having Ardie on the bench and saying he can come on and run with the ball but he isn't allowed to hit any rucks or make any tackles......

[canefan]

Bracewell should definitely toss it up. All those short deliveries are harmless

But the Beast is bowling really well, haven't you been listening to the stump mic ?

[Chris B.]

Shit - finally catch an edge onto the pad and it drops safely.

[canefan]

Feels like too little too late. Hopefully we have enough fit replacements. Why hasn't Phillips had a bowl? Oh he's a sub isn't he....

[canefan]

Come on, we can't get this guy out if we don't make him play at the ball

[MN5]

Foulkes bowling a bunch of leg side rubbish

[bayimports]

Surely anyone still thinking Latham MOTM has been day drinking...

speaking of which

Greaves has been superb at the crease
Batting with ease and resolute with his leaves
and given NZ the fleece

I'll get my coat

Yeah I’ll have to change my mind on that one. No chance.

Only two real candidates are at the crease now

[bayimports]

well deserved that man, pity against us, but magnificent all the same, match saver

[MN5]

That’s a wicked moment for him. Great stuff. Fantastic character and so needed for his team.

Well and truly sealed MOTM. Pretty tough on Roach after what he’s done !
