West Indies tour of New Zealand (5 T20s, 3 ODIs and 3 Tests)

[Plugger35]

A 5 wicket haul and a fifty for Roach, not bad for a 37 year old.

 

[sherb]

That's Kemar off the "most Test runs without a 50" list.

 

[Plugger35]

An interesting last session coming up with all possible results still on the table.

 

[mikey127]

If there 2 are still batting in an hour might be sticking with this game rather than changing to the asshes

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Might effort this from the Windies. Even if they lose they have shown significant fight which has been lacking consistently for a long time. Greaves has been superb, coming of age performance under significant pressure. Outside chance to win because there's only 4 wickets left and I would suggest there probably going to play out a draw if they can.

 

[PhatBoy]

It’s just too tantalising I think; I can’t see us trying to chase this. 5 down and maybe we would chance it from one end for half an hour while greaves holds down an end but not with four in hand

 

[MJG14]

Was shocked when I checked Cricinfo and saw this was still going!

Great to see Roach get a 50 to go with his five-for. Windies will probably fall short but can be proud of the fight and getting this to the final session.

 

[sherb]

That's Kemar off the "most Test runs without a 50" list.

I can't find the list at the moment, but I'm 99% sure that Kemar was second.

Our own GOAT of course leads by some margin, even more now that Kemar has notched a 50.

starting to remind me of this one a little bit

[Plugger35]

Not having any reviews left could be costly but I don't think one was out even if we did have a review left.

 

[Plugger35]

That was out lbw but we couldn't review it.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Serves you right for blowing reviews

Always have one in the last two hours

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like the Windies aren't going for a win but a draw would be almost as good as a win for them from the position they were in

Serves you right for blowing reviews

It cost Australia a win in that Ashes test at Headingley when Stokes was out lbw but they couldn't review it after wasting them all

It could cost us a win here too.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yep 100% sure Joel Wilson is as blind as a bat BUT honestly it served us right not having a review left

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hahahahahaha

And another one

Don’t blow reviews

 

[Plugger35]

Another one that should have been out, this umpire looks like he has put money on a draw.

Yep 100% sure Joel Wilson is as blind as a bat BUT honestly it served us right not having a review left

That was hilarious to watch as someone that was supporting England but it wasn't so funny for the Aussie supporters.

There was also Lyon missing what should have been a simple run out.

 

[Some Idiot]

Incredible effort from Greaves and Roach, do they have it in them to chase the win?

 

[fuic08]

Hahahahahaha

And another one

Don’t blow reviews

That second review was s shocker

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Incredible effort from Greaves and Roach, do they have it in them to chase the win?

(note : no Kayo, so just looking at scorecards)
100 to win, 20 overs to go, if they were less than six down, surely go for it.

Maybe as underdogs they need to try, but its a risk at this point. Fielding teams have more options than in white ball games. Just bat, and if those two stay there and its still realistic in 10 overs then chase it. At that stage there is much more chance the tail can still seek a draw if a wicket falls.

 

[FreoRicci]

What do West Indies do? Go for the win or hold for the draw?

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Incredible effort from Greaves and Roach, do they have it in them to chase the win?

I would chance the arm for 20 minutes see what inroads you can make into the chase. Greaves has to be there at the end so it would need to come from the guys at the other end. If a wicket or 2 falls than its total shutdown the rest of the match to eek out the draw if they can.

 

[Plugger35]

We need to sub on this umpire, Billy would be firing out the Windies in no time.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That second review was s shocker

The last two were shockers the first one I get that was close the other two?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Another one that should have been out, this umpire looks like he has put money on a draw.

Plus Harris dropping a soda. I mean there were a lot of things we did very poorly when it counted

 

[dumb]

they'd have to get it down to < 50 and have a dash in the last 4-5. just enough time to win with a slog, and not a lot to block out if a wicket goes.
