Meanwhile, the dead rubber is underway here in Christchurch, and the weather is adequate at best.

Neil Broom is a cricketing retard. Guide it on purpose to slips once... you are a fool... do it twice and you should be dropped form top flight cricket for a loooong time.

26/3, yikes. Also, what the fuck is Neil Broom doing in the starting line up???

[No Quarter]

Insightful analysis from Rigor: "once people put Umbrella's up that means it's raining".

[Chris B.]

This second coming of Broom is rapidly turning into a disappointment after a very promising start. Seems like he's a nemesis against Bangladesh (who he averages 58 against from 9 innings) and pretty poor against pretty much everyone else - he averages slightly less than 18 against non-Bangladeshi opponents.

Broom played some very good innings last summer and over the winter as well against good opposition. Brownlie is the only other option to bat 3 IMO with Williamson out. Broom was always a bit of a short term solution.

Just shows how fucken bare the cupboard is with KW not there.

They could've given one of the young guys a go.

Good call. Broom is hardly likely to suddenly get better at his age.

Like who? Bruce isn't a #3.

[Gunner]

With this being cut to a T23 game it has played into the Windies hands. Even with messers Duckworth & Lewis coming into play and lifting the target to 166, it should be an easy target to chase down - if the rain stays away.

West Indies don't have that much if Gayle goes early.

[hydro11]

Gayle gone. Windies shouldn't get near this.

Gooooone.

[Gunner]

No Hope, no!

[hydro11]

Another one. Windies are quite a good T20 team if they get their best players together but I don't think many of these guys have actually played IPL.

[Virgil]

7/3 just when you think they can’t get any worse

[No Quarter]

Poor decision, that was missing by miles. Can't believe they didn't review.

[No Quarter]

In fairness, those often don't go your way when they are just clipping, so can't be too critical. Poor decision though, did not look out.

[No Quarter]

8/4, this tour can't end soon enough for the Windies.
