***Official*** West Indies in New Zealand 2013/14

[straw man]

That's ridiculous. Vettori's batting has contributed to several wins that I can think of (Pakistan at Dunedin 2009, England at Hamilton 2008 being the ones that immediately jump to mind), and would've contributed to a lot more if it hand't been for the incompetence of his team-mates with both at and ball.

Well yes, the bolded part is the answer to that criticism that I subscribe to.

Hayley Holt's face has changed

There's enough batting just with Watling to get him there if he plays well enough. OPWB is getting a ton today unless McCullum declares on him first.

just go with WPWB mate.

 

[Prince EWS]

just go with WPWB mate.

But Matt Prior isn't playing..?

Oceania's Premier Wicket Keeper Batsman has got this though.

Well yes, the bolded part is the answer to that criticism that I subscribe to.

Yeah...it boggles the mind that anyone could think otherwise.

We all in agreement that the declaration shouldn't happen before tea?

 

[Binkley]

We all in agreement that the declaration shouldn't happen before tea?

I agree with that. I'd even give them at least another half hour beyond tea to give the bowlers two bites with the new cherry.

Deonarine

 

[Flem274*]

No real need to declare before tea really. 550 will take until close to tea or just beyond if we reach the score.

 

[Prince EWS]

"He can be a bit like that, Marlon Samuels."



Scathing.

 

[Prince EWS]

Deonarine bowling to Watling is the best thing to happen to cricket since Anderson bowled to Sinclair.

 

[Prince EWS]

Such a great shot from OPWB.

 

[Prince EWS]

Both feet.

Get this man in the ODI team pronto, McHesson.

 

[straw man]

Congrats Taylor. Five more for highest score.

 

[_Ed_]

150! Keep going, son.

 

[Flem274*]

Carn Taylor go for the double

 

[Flem274*]

Gee Taylor's average bounces around a lot. fluctuates massively between 40-45 every series. I would have though 50 tests would have made his average more stable.

 

[Maximas]

nicely done

Romain Khan: "What I like about the NZ batsmen is the unpretentious effectiveness. I suppose the same can be said about the whole team, bred on modesty and professionalism."

 

[Dan]

OPWB doesn't make a ton. PEWS tasting.
