Black Caps vs Windies Series

[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!

[Chris B.]

Hope the Baron took his umbrella... on second thoughts....maybe he didn't!

[Donsteppa]

All the covers on and the rain is getting heavier. Camped out under an umbrella with hope rather than expectation...

[booboo]

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

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

FIFY

And we didn't already know this?

Fucking black caps! Wake up hungover excited to watch some cricket at the start of recovery and they've gone and ruined it.
