Black Caps vs Windies Series

[Gunner]

@dogmeat a few showers around this morning, hoping they’ll burn off by mid morning.
We’ve had a few overnight/morning showers lately then it turns into a stunner of a day...

Touch wood.

[taniwharugby]

@dogmeat I think it should be ok, won't be as hot as it has been for the past month, but should get the 50 overs in maybe with a couple of stoppages

[Bovidae]

Hesson said Bracewell will bat somewhere between 6 and 8. You would hope it's more likely 7 or 8, and interchangeable with Astle depending on the situation.

If Nicholls doesn't bat in the top 6 why select him?

@mn5 I don't think there's any way to fix that in the squad named.

They're backing Dougie as a batsman.

We've been hearing about His batting potential for years now and he hasn't even scored as much as a 50 in any forms of the game.

Now here's an "all-rounder" you can bitch about!

Capital H? I suppose He's got a birthday soon ...

Sun is shining 👍🏼
Still a few clouds around though so wouldn’t be surprised if we get the odd shower come across at some stage.

True. I'll leave Stokes alone.

clearly recalling Bracewell was a mistake..

He needs to score an unbeaten ton too

[No Quarter]

Hah, was about to say solid start for the Windies and then Bracewell goes bang, bang, picking up Gayle in the process. Nice comeback.

@MN5 is in top jinxing form, England better recall Stokes in a hurry.

[Virgil]

Bracewell going for a few, clearly picking him was a mistake..

Standard for him which is why he never used to get picked in ODIs

[Rapido]

Is that a big flash new bridge over the harbour?

[No Quarter]

Good to see Ferguson pushing the 150kph mark.

Edit - if this was in Aussie he'd be well above it.

[taniwharugby]

@rapido yes and no....been there for almost 4 years I think...

[No Quarter]

Decent finish from the Windies gets them something defendable, though it shouldn't be enough.

Braces with 4 but our most expensive by a fair margin. Astle finishes with the awesome figures of 3/33 though obviously gets the luxury of bowling through the middle stages.
