And another bowler injured, lol, any Ferners in the area that fancy rolling the arm over today?

Who's out now ?

I say bring Jezza Coney in from the commentary box for some dibbly dobbly.

[No Quarter]

@MN5 Rae went down in pain, but is made of tougher stuff and has run it off. Given his age and unlikely to play much once others return from injury, he'd probably bowl with a broken leg if it meant he could snare another test wicket.

Yeah he won't play another test after this one, hopefully he can survive the last day.

Even so, draw looking bloody likely here. The Windies have no batting superstars, most of them aren't even test standard on paper but NZs fill in attack won't be good enough to knock them over.

[No Quarter]

Interesting pitch this one, I really felt there was plenty of movement on offer with the new ball, but both sides were not disciplined enough, and once the shine wore off it became very difficult to prize wickets out. Not an absolute road though, all batsmen have worked hard for their runs.

The score probably wouldn't suggest it being an absolute road if we had our three frontline seamers playing though.

That’s a ripper first delivery from Patel, turned sideways

[No Quarter]

Ohh then goes the other way, comon Patel spin us to victory!

[Gunner]

Gee, Latham needs to get more catchers in close around the bat. Put some serious heat on these guys.

[MN5]

A tale of two batsmen here.

One is playing a T20 ( slight exaggeration for effect ), the other is playing a test match in the 1960s

The juniors will be on standby by the end of the day at this rate...

[Donsteppa]

Te Puke lads are on the bank after winning the Bay Cup over the weekend. Possibly no sleep since Saturday night by the looks of it, but maybe that's an advantage for bowling relaxed and injury free...

[Gunner]

Where’s the short leg when you need it?
Fuck sakes Latham, why are we not just all out attacking these fullas?
If I had any hair, I’d be ripping it out.

[Donsteppa]

Insert usual comment about Latham being as passive as fuck.

[Gunner]

Duffy with the breakthrough.

[No Quarter]

That's two, comon lads let's get through them now

[Gunner]

Campbell with a brain fart.

He’s blocked everything, his mate who was scoring at the other end gets out, then the next over has a big slog at one and has himself caught at long on.

87-0 to 87-2 in the space of 5 deliveries.

[No Quarter]

16 from 105 then holes out, brain fart there

[Donsteppa]

Ajaz is on fire since finally achieving his first NZ test wicket.

[Chris B.]

Ajaz gets another five balls later - need at least one more in this session!

[Virgil]

Bang bang bang!
Patel looking likely with almost every ball at the moment

[Chris B.]

Inroads!
