Watching the comms, Bish is huge!
Him, Courtney and ( especially ) Curtley were a menacing bunch for sure.
Ask Ken Rutherford and Mike Gatting. They know
. The golden era of WI quicks was a sight to see. Menacing is right -

I would say its on Latham getting his ton or not.. 10 runs from him to declare or get out
-
With our bowlers I am not sure we have enough runs. The attack has the bad old days written all over it.

Shit from Conway getting out right after the break and exposing KW late in the day.
They shouldn't be out there much longer. Should have sent a pinch hitter
Tongue firmly in cheek but yes they should have. KW on a bit if a hiding to nothing here.

A bunch of handy support bowlers without a spearhead is how I'd look at it.

YES !
Another extension on that awesome opening record. Shot Latham !!!!! 16th test century. Third in the series.
First time BOTH openers have scored centuries in BOTH innings in ANY first class match.
In the history of all Cricket I can't believe it hasn't happened before.
Absolutely incredible. Well done fellas.

Only the fifth time two players have scored centuries in each innings of a test, first time for NZ.
Of note also is it has only been done by opposing batters once (Warner and Kohli).

Jeez the 80s was a tough time to be a batsman.
Only happened FOUR times during that period.

As much as a fluff bunny Warmer is. It’s an incredible stat that he scored twin 100s in a test on 3 occasions

Another record, that’s the highest total runs NZ have scored in a test match 881
Previous record was 874 back in 1990Shame there's fuck all people there watching.....Wellington put them to shame during the test at the Basin ( and I was set to go before the Windies wilted in three days )
Good opportunity to get a couple of cheeky wickets. Rigor commentating and reckons NZ have batted too long though. We'll see.
Quite a lot riding on Duffy coming out firing.

Warner was one of the great openers of the modern era. Very dangerous and effective player with a terrific record.
Definitely not a popular fellow though. I never found him that bad though.
He was no Brad Haddin.

That's incredible, because there must have been tens of thousands of first class matches.
Edit: AI saying hundrds of thousands and potentially millions.

I don't think there's any real demons in this pitch. Pretty much everyone who has got out has got themselves out.
Pleased we've got a big buffer going into day 5. If the Windies bat competently, they'll force a draw about four-down, I reckon.
