West Indies tour of NZ

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.

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.

[Donsteppa]

Can't see them bringing in Jamieson, unless by chance the timing works out for whatever his bowling loads/plan is from rehab.

Yeah but does that mean they go for ANOTHER newbie ? Surely this is SOS time.

Lets not forget the four pacemen in this test have played a combined SEVEN test matches between them.

BIg onus on the BCs to bat all day and then some. Those bowlers will need a rest and hopefully Mitch and Ravindra are turning the arm over while waiting to bat as they will be needed.

If they think there's a risk of breaking Jamieson again, then Kristian Clarke is probably making his Test debut

Based on that he'll never play again !

Well yeah, it's gone from "only the Windies" to "Fuck we need him" pretty quick smart.
