West Indies tour of NZ

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.

It was a bugger. The gap between triple centuries in tests went from 1974 to 1990. Fair to say its tough to get them.

double hundy for Conway. Super stuff.
May as well have a crack at a triple, he has time.
You don't get many opportunities in cricket and time is on his side..long way off though still,
surely cant happen

He could get there before tea if things go his way. We're only a day and half a session into the match remember !

We only plan to bat once now. So might as well fill his boots

Shows how shit the bowling was yesterday, great bowling today not only restricted run rate, but now Kane gooonnnneee
-
Conway finally goes for 227, fantastic knock. There is quite a bit in this pitch I reckon, WI will struggle against our seamers.
-
NZ will want to bowl for about an hour tonight so that the bowlers can really steam in without wasting much energy, but also retaining some shine on the ball tomorrow.
You also don't want to bat on and on to only bat once - because you want to have the option to bat a couple of sessions later - just to give your bowlers a bit of time to recharge between innings.
5.5 sessions is pretty much ideal in my view - with the option to bat two more later in the game = 7.5 sessions and that's half the time in the game.
-
Well done NZ, great first innings, well set up and continued by Rachin and a nice run a ball cameo by Ajaz
-
Nice hitting from Patel at the end, couple of 6’s to close out the innings
Gotta give the windies credit they bowled better today
Conway to 200. Well done that man!
