West Indies tour of NZ

Part of me is waiting for half of the bowling squad to fall over the drinks in the sheds and become unable to bowl

Looking forward to a Dizzy Gillespie like double ton from Jake Duffy tomorrow.

Think of poor little Kane being padded up all day.
He gave up part way through the third session and made Ravindra do it instead.
Is it bad that part of me is glad the Turner/Jarvis partnership wasn't broken? For all his faults, Turner is one of our greatest batters and I think it's fitting that he has a place in our record books.
Fantastic day. Conway locks in his place for the England tour. I hope Mariu still makes the squad though. Good to see Latham back in the runs too. How often has an NZ batter got 2 tons in a series?

Lol a night watchman, come on haha.

There may have been a hint of sarcasm
What an amazing day of batting.

Great to see Conway back in form moving better, still vulnerable to the 5th/6th stump line but that is something he has to work around with his technique.
He is a nice batsmen to watch when playing well, very fluid bat.
Awesome from Tom Latham getting past 6000 test runs 2 centuries in the series and getting his 15th test century closing in on Taylor and Crowe he could end up as the player with the 2nd most test centuries for new Zealand.
Under rated bat but the gritty opener teams need. -

@Cyclops Was it Taylor I remember grabbing a couple against them in 2016 if my patchy memory serves me correctly.
3 in 2013-14, but a very purple patch: https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/series/batting-most-runs-career/west-indies-in-new-zealand-test-series-2013-14-8475

I think I getting old (well I know lol), but I genuinely enjoyed watching the test yesterday, and seeing batsman slowly building an innings, and just ignoring balls they didn't to play.
Something pretty relaxing watching test cricket, and seeing that. Mind you I admit, I not glued to screen, just watch for 30 mins or so at time. -

33 if the filter has been set up correctly - this being the 33rd time.
4th time just for Latham too. More common than I'd thought.

Sadly Duffy fell 183 runs short of a much deserved double century.
-
Conway looking comfortable from the get go ( I don't think you can jinx a guy on 190 so I'm happy to say that )
This one innings has got the average up very nicely, just 1.40 runs behind the much vaunted Mitch Jr now. Overall pretty similar really. Conway 2395 runs in 32 tests at 42.79, Mitch 2164 runs in 35 tests at 44.16. Conway 59 innings, Mitch 54.
