    ***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand

    It's raining here in Napier again, and today's play has been officially abandoned. Tomorrow will be much the same, probably. Strange way to end the tour, but there ya go.

    McLean Park is under water this morning. It's not raining right at the moment, and the covers have just come off, but there will be no play before lunch - umpires are coming out for another look at midday.

    Somehow, I think my hotel room is a much better option for a good night's sleep! :laugh:

    First ball @3pm. They're gonna rope off the worst of the boggy areas... which is gonna make for a very short mid-wicket boundary! Hours of play... 15:00 - 16:30 16:50 - 18:30 47 overs minimum (yeah, right!).

    Well, I'm perched on top of a camera tower with nothing better to do! :D LOL Surfing the Net aint a bad way to kill time, especially when you're still being paid. ;) Well, I can't see that the outfield is going to dry out very much in the next two to three hours... it is an absolute bog in...

    Hello from McLean Park! The umpires have just decided that there will be no play at all this morning because of the very wet outfield. They will go out for another look at 12:30pm.

    All over, red rover... The Test has officially been abandoned. Let's hope for good weather and good light at the Basin Reserve next week. [Pigs might fly!]

    Because I thought that the Black Caps were batting extremely well (for a change)... In fact, it was just that the pitch was so damn flat and boring! Anyway.... NZ to bat again shortly. Let's hope that they can knock up a few quick runs, and that Fleming sets a realistic target for the Sril...

    Bored, bored, bored! I am sooooooo damn bored! I've been a huge cricket fan for over 25 years... but for the first time in my life, I have completely lost interest in the game. This season has done absolutely nothing to promote cricket here in NZ. First there was the outright caning by the...

    "Snicko", "the zoomer", and the speed-ball radar are all operated/monitored by the same person, who's from an Australian company who have been sub-contracted to Sky Sport for the entire summer (for international matches only). In theory, yes, snicko could be altered to "manufacture" a graph...

    It can hardly be "plumb" when he hit it! Astle got quite a thick inside-edge on that one, so Buchnor made absolutely the correct decision NOT to give him out.

    Because all the weekend options clashed with Super 12 rugby. These Tests were supposed to have been played in January, remember, so it was a case of having to reschedule them around other fixtures that were already in place.
