NZ vs WI (2 Tests, 3 T20I)

[WeMissYouMarkCoughlan]

That sounded like a huge nick live

 

[Fudge Nuggets]

Can't believe Holder didn't ask for a review on Latham's nick.

 

[Kyptastic]

That's what happens when you blow a speculative review early, you're gunshy for the ones that you probably should be going upstairs for.

 

[Fudge Nuggets]

The Indian bird wearing the grey top in the Fox commercial has some serious chi-chi's.

 

[Big Bryza]

Watching Williamson here makes it even more baffling that he was so poor in Australia last summer.

Latham has worked really hard and played a great little knock so far, Williamson has waltzed in and just done it in a canter so far.

Aussie bowlers are comfortably better than the Windies attack.

Aussie bowlers are comfortably better than the Windies attack.

Oh wow are they? Really? Thanks for that remarkable insight.

Williamson has also had little if any problems with bowlers of that level in the past too.

Haven't seen any of the day's play, but would suggest that Williamson's knock today compared to here last summer is just reminding everyone that form is temporary and class is permanent.

They haven’t tested him out as much as they might but his soft hands have been a real feature

Dowrich still got the yips from the English tour

He had them a long time before that. His bad series with the gloves outweigh his good ones.

 

[PhatBoy]

Onya Roachey. Lost his dad just two days ago - must have been very difficult for him to go on the field today

 

[PhatBoy]

He's a very very good bowler in his own right but its sad to think of what Roach could have been if it weren't for that car accident. He's a clear 10-12km/h down since his rehab. Maybe he wouldn't have developed his other tricks, who knows, but it was a tantalising thought

 

[footyfan1978]

Welcome Darryl Mitchell to the least exclusive club in cricket: The New Zealand 120-125km/h Medium Pacer Who Can Bat Club.

Hope Jeremy Coney handed him his Test cap before the game in special ceremony for these types.

This is Mitchell's 2nd test so technically he'd already have a cap.

I'll go away now.

[Santana]

When is stumps?

 

[NSWCROW]

When is stumps?

Still 10 overs

EDIT - scratch that - 5 mins

 

[BronCrow]

Still 10 overs

What time did play start?

 

[NSWCROW]

What time did play start?

Not sure the exact time, 5 mins left now

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Helluva knock from Williamson,
Commentators saying he’s barely played red ball cricket this year. (COVID obviously, but there’s always limited overs somewhere)

97n.o at stumps

 

[BronCrow]

So they are already playing to quite late then?

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

NZ on for a big total tomorrow.

WI over rate terrible, doesn't seem to matter though. Only 7 overs short despite playing late.

 

[corbies]

What time did play start?

Started at 1pm over there (11am AEDT)

 

[PhatBoy]

Hard to know what to take out of that.

the first hundred runs, which were a bit of a chore time wise, were made without the windies bowlers giving themselves much of a chance.

the next 130-odd came quickly but they seemed to be beating the bat every over or two.
