And they had nearly two weeks to rest before this test as well.

There is conditioning, and there’s match conditioning.

One thing that bothers me with cricket. I reckon a batsman should not be able to switch from left to right (or vice versa) when the bowler is bowling. The bowler has to declare if he is bowling left or right handed and cannot change mid run up - why should a batter be able to change? Interested in others opinions.

Oh my, the Windies are half a chance at winning the unwinnable test here.

1 session & 33 overs remaining... Chasing 531... And they're 6-399.

Exactly 4 an over needed from the final session of the test... All 3 results still very possible.

From 4/72 to 6/409 too. NZ are two bowlers down and look exhausted.

Despite none of our batters really batting amazing, it’s good that so many of them knocked up solid contributions. Good team total this one!

Shame about Carey getting out, thought he was looking good for a ton.

Someone making a ton would have topped it off, but at least everyone is showing some form.

Smart batting by Starc. He'll be opening the bowling, so, look for the odd boundary, don't extend yourself, get it up over the hundred.

 

[Lomas]

Is archer going to make it through to the next test? Looks cooked.

 

[Hojuman]

He always looks knackered. He runs better than he walks.

Even Stokes looks like he’s about to cry due to frustration and exhaustion.

Even Stokes looks like he’s about to cry due to frustration and exhaustion.

I wonder if the verbal rub and tug he seems to constantly receive from the ch 7 commentary team will lift his spirits?

They seem to think very highly of him and are eager to tell us so.

 

[Flawed Genius]

What an utterly shithouse country they are.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Why pick a spinner if you are only going to bowl him for an over, and running stokes and carse into the ground.

 

[gokangas]

What an absolute superstar Starc is.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Fair to state that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this pitch... Even Scotty B has got to double figures!

Starc 3/4 of the way to a maiden test ton!

 

[krakouers]

The Star-shes?
Buy up in bronze as the man is getting a statue

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Starc averaging over 60 with the bat and 11.75 with the ball this series. Wow.

 

[Hojuman]

Go the slog Doggy.

 

[Lomas]

Go the slog Doggy.

Give Starc a chance to have a shower and a massage!

If Starc takes a wicket first over I may just need a few minutes alone, thanks.

 

[Dinkers]

What an utterly shithouse country they are.

I've a lot of respect for them as a country. Lived there on and off for 3 years.

Friendly and welcoming. And **** me they didn't flinch when the Germans came a knocking.

 

[Dinkers]

Not sure there'd be many test scores of 500 plus without a century.
I do wonder actually

I am prepared.
