CWC Game #6 Black Caps v West Indies

[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

[ACT Crusader]

We drop Gayle. It was a bunny of a catch too.

[ACT Crusader]

And we drop him again

[ACT Crusader]

Santner is seething.

Meanwhile Henry is going for 8.5 rpo

The first one was a shocker. Catches win matches

[nzzp]

And now we're getting reames. This game is mostly over, and we're only 20 overs in. Tough day at the office

[Siam]

Henry's dropped catch. Nearly unbelievable

[nzzp]

Lachie!

[Siam]

He's a fucken great lad that Locky!

Two in two balls!

Apologies Lockie - I got the name spelled traditionally

[nzzp]

Got Gayle! 152-5 chasing 292... we're still in the game. Outsiders, but still in the game

[Squirrel]

@nzzp I think we are now massive favourites

Keep in mind Windies are a proper batsman short

It's all wickets now. I don't know enough about it, but needing 130 with 5 in hand and plenty of time -- should be moderately easy.

They're still smashing us around

[Squirrel]

Goodnight Nurse!

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

I thought yo uwere an optimist for this. 7 down now, it's over barring a miracle.

Great fightback by this NZ team. We were getting pummelled, and in half an hour have all but secured our semifinal spot. Should be a great result

[nzzp]

Finally Matt H gets another. 211/8, but the game is basically over

[Donsteppa]

A good effort so far, given Munro and Latham have left us batting with nine in this CWC.

[Mokey]

We need to get Braithwaite out. As long as he's in Windies have a chance. Especially if we keep serving up pies. Funny old game though. Both teams have been outstanding and shit at various points.
