Black Caps vs Windies Series
-
9/5. I said during the India tour that Boult was looking in good nick for the summer. Well he's in the zone right now, back to the level he was during the CWC. Great to see, the WI batsmen don't have a chance.

My perspective is you should always be reviewing in those circumstances. In a T20 you get less LBW's and caught behinds and you don't get many anyway. You are the best batsman left. If there is any doubt you should just be reviewing there.
Yeah fair enough, should have reviewed. Showed a lack of experience/confidence in himself.

The West Indies were 9/5 at one point? That's bad....really bad.

I'm not watching but I'm not sure why Gabriel is on 7 from 15. Last I checked you can't play for a draw in limited overs.
Have a fucken swing, you have nothing to lose
His previous highest score was 2 so he's not doing too bad...

Did you know that in the player rankings for ODI batting the highest West Indian is rated 48? That's Marlon Samuels. Shai Hope is next highest on 62nd. That tells me that they aren't getting a consistent team on the field because even Neil Broom has got himself up to 39th place currently.

9 down. Heaps to get.....and I'm talking to myself cos no one cares about this crap Windies team.
I would have been there right beside you bro, but um.....yea, na the relaxing hum of my ride on and it’s stubble holder were more appealing once the Windies got to double figures only 5 down.

All of that speaks absolute volumes. Broom only gets in when someone is rested or injured.

Yeah but surely it's a better option to have a go for an extremely unlikely victory than to pad the woeful average....

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.
They could've given one of the young guys a go.
Like who? Bruce isn't a #3.
Neither is Broom. Young is probably a better choice at 3. But hey, if Munro can open the batting, I'm sure Bruce can have a go at 3.
