Black Caps vs Windies Series

All over rover.

Great debut for Phillips, against a poor opposition but that'll do his confidence some good.

WI outclassed again.

Point of order - not Phillips' debut - but, you'd be forgiven for forgetting his previous efforts.

[MN5]

Looks like we're batting. Kane Williamson in for Ross Taylor which is a bit like Richie McCaw stepping in for Josh Kronfeld.

Pretty fucken hard to see anything except a big total and a piss poor effort in chasing it to be honest.

[No Quarter]

Yeah, depends on whether the ball does a bit due to the overhead conditions. Could be a bit of a leveller.

[Mokey]

Gah, fucking rain delays.

[Mokey]

Rubbish shot from Guptill, and he's off. 3/1, Kane to the crease.

[Chris B.]

Guptill had one shortish (22 balls) T20 innings for Auckland before being chucked into this series. Looks pretty underdone!

[Chris B.]

Not to be a wowser - but, this Tui one-handed catch promotion will end in tears.

Kid in Nelson got hit in the head by a deflection.

For $50K someone's going to launch themselves somewhere they shouldn't.

[No Quarter]

Munro is an awesome pinch hitter. I've been a fan of the pinch hitter since the days of Kaluwitharana and Jayasuriya, so I'm pretty happy with the way they're using him in T20s and ODIs.

[Chris B.]

@no-quarter Yeah - he's looking much better suited to this top order role than batting at 5 or 6.

Pinch hitter in T20 makes complete sense. I'm not averse to it in ODIs either - as long as there's sufficient batting lower down to cover the inevitable failures.

[Mokey]

Fuck this Windies team is terrible. Have some pride in your uniform, guys.

In the age we live in I am truly astonished that no one from Stuff.co.nz has come to interview him about his pain and suffering.

[No Quarter]

That was a brutal innings, well played Mr Munro.

[Mokey]

Munro out for 66 after having a fun smash.

[Chris B.]

@mn5 Laura McGoldrick scooped them - she got a thumbs up from him from the ambulance.

[Damo]

This is fun to watch, but a bit sad for cricket really. We could be looking at a 220+ score here.

[mimic]

@Damo Now watch them collapse.

The most reluctant thumbs up ever.

There are my wickets for sure.

Still looking ok for a decent score though.

[No Quarter]

Boooooooo

[Mokey]

Gah. Fucking rain!
