Jamieson looks to be a great allrounder in the making.
Ball is still hooping around even though its 63 overs old.
Do we enforce follow on? I think we do if the conditions remain the same.
I would bat unless rain is expected. Put on a quick 150, rest the bowlers, wear out the opposition.
Ordinarily I would agree. Here though the ball is hooping around like mad, and we've already had some rain. I think the play is to finish it off asap.
Kolkata 2001 (?) showed us how followons can go poorly. If the bowlers get tired, things can get away from you. That said, given we're halfway through the day and have some rain, I think it's arguable to enforce. But, Tim has bowled 17 overs already... it starts to add up quickly.
One miracle innings everyone is scared of the obvious course of action.
We're not in Indian conditions. We're in nice comfortable NZ. Not too hot. Seam friendly. Bowlers not overworked. Windies need 500 to even make it interesting.
Enforce!
And I'm in no way pointing at 30 for 4 as justification.
The decision was to my mind obvious.

You know it's in Hamilton right
Everything looks good compared to batting right now

Wow, just switched on to see Kylo bowl an unplayable LBW ball. These guys will be happy to get the hell out of the Tron
That ball was vicious. That would have gotten most batsmen out. If Jamieson can keep doing that he'll have a hell of a career.

Who isn’t ? I still have nightmares of living there in 96
In other news this Windies team is even more shite than I thought they’d be

Joseph needs to come up the order, he looks pretty solid in defence and on the drive.

Joseph looking a class above out there at number 8. 25 off 28 and all very good cricket shots.

Disappointing end for Joseph. Just couldn’t middle them. I actually wanted him to get a hundred because he helped bring some life back into the match.
