CWC Game #6 Black Caps v West Indies

[akan004]

Time to start accelerating.

[ACT Crusader]

A bit of impatience from Ross in the last 3 overs, now he chips an easy one and is out.

[canefan]

Taylor succumbs. All too easy in the end, should have stayed patient

[canefan]

These British pitches are proving to be more tricky than they appear. Players using poor technique are being found out

[canefan]

Kane looks ready to give his wicket away before the job is done too. Is it Chris Gayle’s mirror sunnies?

[canefan]

Kane gets to 100. Gotta kick on from here, if he carries his bat and the others do their jobs we will be in good shape

[Stag]

Way, way to slow from NZ at the moment

[Wairau]

I missed the first 10 runs of Kane's innings, but since then it's been a treat to watch his gentle cover drives racing to the boundary. What a player, we are incredibly lucky.

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.

[Tim]

Shouldn't they have sent out de grandhelm?

[Tim]

@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?

[Siam]

@Tim always Tim, always

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
