Way, way to slow from NZ at the moment

I trust Kane's pacing of it. The pitch looks a bit two paced and a new batsman is going to spend an over or two to get his eye in. I'd rather bank 80 odd in the last 10 overs cruising than shoot for 120 and risk getting 60 odd.

edit: Latham reverse sweeps the first ball of the last 10 overs, so it looks like they are going for the 120 odd.

Shouldn't they have sent out de grandhelm?

@Wairau What a joy he is to watch

[Tim]

Just chipped that six.

Hope obviously a graduate of the Haddin/Dyer school of wicket keeping.

[Tim]

Come on, Mitchell Santner?

[Tim]

Do we have no other hitters?

[Tim]

How good is that score? Should I get some booze delivered and watch the chase?

About 20 short of par imo. If the Windies are in the mood, they will get it easily, but then again they are also known for collapsing every now and again.

The pitch required application from the batsman and the West Indies will be batting so...

Not sure that was a 290 pitch against that quality bowling, certainly wasn't two down for nothing.

[Siam]

Finally, getting up to piss 8 times a night comes in handy!

Kane sublime again
If we can't defend 290, we've bowled or fielded poorly

So much hate for Munro who has exactly the same runs as Guppy this tournament. Imagine the rage if the useless muppet stood on his own stumps.

Edit, can't add, guppy has 20 more

Need some wickets early

Windies are no hope

Here's one for you boys: who was cricket's Kenny Powers?

Rig in a way? Heath Davis?

Bring back Southee 😎

[Tim]

Does Southy play ODIs?

[Tim]

Loving Holder shitting on 20 20. I hate that 20/20 shit.

[Siam]

Want Nicholls in the 11, look no further than Neesham. He buys wickets at best, and Nicholls can provide his runs.

Neesh is a good bugger though and puts in.

[Siam]

Next wicket taker is a goddamn kiwi hero.

84 for 2 off 14. No panic stations but they were 2 for 20 and they're settling into their work.

Gayle looks ominous but hetmeyer might be rash.

Gayle seeing off Locky who seldom bowls more than 3 in a spell.

Game is on an edge
