***Official*** New Zealand in the West Indies 2014

Bit sad that Craig's having some of the polish taken off his figures. Should really have gotten the quicks on a couple of overs ago, but oh well.
Craig's just got to look at the wickets column and forget about the econ in this situation........any spinner is going to cop it in this situation, hopefully he gets the last man and picks up his 5fer. No one will care that he went for 6.5 rpo

Well done NZ.

Wonder how the Windies will react to this:
a) Bring back Narine?
b) Make pitches more difficult?

Lol. Good thing we had that massive first innings lead to cover up our classic second innings collapse.

Congrats to Craig, it's good to have someone genuinely able to exploit these conditions. Not too sure about giving Sodhi cheap wickets, it's like we're afraid to admit that Kane would probably do the same if not better. He only got one over ffs. Ah well, seems like our chickens have hatched anyway...

Excellent win.

Saves me staying up to midnight as well. Gotta get back to a normal sleeping pattern in the next couple of days.

Making the pitches worse would be an odd decision. It's been said many times, that dustbowls ironically nullify Narine by making every spinner a demon.

If this is their attitude, they're never going to be a good side. Courtney Walsh, Ian Bishop and Jeffrey Dujon were saying that they didn't think that was the positive option. Hopefully they prefer to take the more long term option.

Didn't Beamer say that the pitch for the second test was most likely to favour New Zealand? If that proves to be the case then you'd have to say WI are in big trouble.

How good was Watling? 89, 22* & 8 catches :huh:
Absolutely phenomenal, his 62 catches takes him to 5th of all time NZ keeper dismissals in only 16 tests behind the stumps, I can only remember one dropped catch in that time – off Alistair cook on day 4 at eden park which was a low one hander.
