West Indies tour of NZ

Tickner goooone. Just can't catch a break with our bowlers at the moment

[Gunner]

Fark sakes, the poor bastard.

He’s done bloody well since being recalled too, such a shame for him!

[Bones]

Flat cap and dinner jacket in the crowd.... you there @MN5 ?

Is he strumming a guitar trying to look cool?

[Gunner]

Golden arm Phillips sneaks one through Imlach and gets himself 1 in the wicket column.

Bit hot for the dinner jacket in this sweltering heat. I’d also be wearing a straw hat instead of the cheese cutter for optimal neck protection on my pasty Scottish skin.

Sounds like you saw Craig McMillan

[Gunner]

Haha that’s a strange run out. Good work by Clarke.

One to get.

[MN5]

Fucken hell. Not another pace bowling injury.

Wags, take the dinner jacket off and get down there now.

Shields is doing his best Coldplay impersonation out there with the bat.

Edit: next ball, goooorne

Coldplay could probably jump on the East by west to throw down some overs when we need him.

Imagine him and Rae bowling in tandem, you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Lucky jerseys have numbers on them these days.

Batsmen have to do the bowlers a solid and stay out there for a while now

Conway survives an LBW appeal first ball. Here's hoping things get better.

Or, collapse in a heap.

He never moves his feet well at the start. If he can get in he should be fine

[Cyclops]

Pretty much a perfect day after putting the Windies in, apart from the injury to Tickner. Hopefully we can bat for a couple of days.

Was a good comeback from our bowlers after the lacklustre first hour.

[MN5]

Good days cricket.

Pleased for the new bowlers. Stink for Tickner.

Got through with no wickets lost, stage all set for a big days batting tomorrow

Here's hoping Jamieson comes in as a straight swap.

It's not all bad news though, Sevu Reece is leaving NZ.
