Fair case to be made that West Indies only have two Test standard players in this team and one of them is a 38 year old medium pacer who averages 37 away from home.

Opening bowlers bowled alright. Trash otherwise.

Paced well, Ravindra picking him up a bit. Was also being served some real hot filth to be fair.

it appears that as bowlers tire and the pitch starts to get a bit baked, a wicket that did a lot early doors can be a bit more tame by day three

The ‘syrup suckers’ scandal intensifies. Now a formal complaint has been lodged.

Missed this. I always tend to ignore NZ commentary these days when I watch, think I'm now understanding the hatred for the man.
Yeah I just don't get how he'd think that was a good idea.
Might be developing a God complex

Ian Smith also mentioned this today lol. Clearly doesn't like him.

Interesting when they both work for the same radio station and are in adjoining time slots

not sure why he later doubled down on it
I remember his "shithouse commentary" line when Fox showed the Johnson/Kelly catch.
I've struggled to listen to Smithy since "barest of margins", but him commentating India 2024 helped.

Only one day's gap between the end of the Plunket game and the start of the next test. As many as 9 days of play in 10 is a bit unreasonable. Suggestive that Phillips will be included for test two but Jamieson won't.
The weird one is Mitch Hay playing two days for Canterbury then exiting and being replaced by Frew. Weird and frankly unfair. Canterbury announced this arrangement after their squad announcement, so maybe it was allowed because Hay was already on the plane to Napier and no one else could make it in time? If so, informing Canterbury too late is a bit of a **** up from NZC (the conspiracy theorist in me says it was intentional).
