must be Napier. Can't remember any since then.

When was the last time we enforced a follow-on against a top 8 side?

yeah, and the last time we won by an innings against a top 8 side. Must be going back a fair few years for that.

Sri Lanka at Wellington in 2005 seems to be the answer.

Boult, you wicket-taking machine.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

how on earth is this man only averaging 3 wickets a test

 

[straw man]

Boult

 

[Bahnz]

Would've batted for a few hours to let Southee and Boult have a rest, and then stuck them back in 10 overs before stumps myself. Still good to see an early wicket.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

the movie star for his first over

 

[Mike5181]

These commentators really know **** all about the form/abilties of a lot of these players. Talking about picking Bracewell over Wagner, saying Anderson's top speed is 126-127, and with the exception of Doull none of them knew Sodhi could bat at all.

 

[hendrix]

Bracewell should be playing domestic cricket, pure and simple.

The really disappointing thing about his selection as 12th man is that there'd still be absolutely no justification for dropping Wagner even if he takes no wickets and goes at 5 an over. Because that's basically what Bracewell's been doing for the last year.

 

[James]

Solid start by the West Indies.

How is the weather looking those of you watching it on the telly? The Radio Sport commentators were saying its forecast for rain later in the day.

 

[Flametree]

I'm in Dunedin and it's clear blue skies everywhere I can see.

 

[James]

Good news then

 

[Mike5181]

Williamson

Looks like he's dying

 

[straw man]

Man, wish I could watch at the moment. Are our bowlers looking tired at all? Southee and Boult mainly. Sounds like Wagner has not been good.

 

[Bahnz]

This is a real waste of the new ball.

 

[_Ed_]

These two seem pretty untroubled at the moment. We're missing Kane the partnership breaker.

 

[hendrix]

Why were Wagner and Sodhi bowling in overs 15, right after the tea break? Complete waste not to have Southee and Boult doing their thing.

Also, it's days like these that Wagner looks so sub-test standard. Just absolutely nothing doing.

 

[straw man]

Sounds like Wagner is spending the credit he built up on Bangladesh's flat pitches.

Where are you Milners or Henryers?
