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

[Bedi]

That would've been out every day of the week before the days of DRS

 

[Bedi]

He was who I was talking about! He copped a straight drive to the shin earlier

ouch!

 

[Bedi]

Say what you will about Bazball, they'd at least be having a crack at winning this. 388 off 76 overs is a tall task on a 5th day wicket but it is a batsman's paradise

Campbell swung at a ball

 

[icyflakes]

King going out is a bit disappointing. I get they're a long way off the target but he at least was playing at the ball.

Both Windies openers gone in quick succession, an NZ win is back on the table.

If there was any chance of a Windies fight (I could see them going swinging after Lunch if they were still 0 or 1 down) is now gone.

And as I type this they're 3 down.

 

[Plugger35]

A great catch from Ravindra, Hodge gone for a duck.

 

[icyflakes]

Windies falling apart. Given how weak the NZ bowling attack is (due to injuries), and the highway courtesy of Pakistan, this is pretty bad. They can be world beaters and then a minnow the next day. Would enjoy a good fightback again like last test.

As someone who has absorbed and dissected cricket stats for over 50 years, I am still astounded that we can see a "first" in first-class cricket in 2025 - and which occurred in a Test match, no less.

 

[Plugger35]

A bad collapse from the Windies but it isn't over yet with Hope and Greaves there who have batted for long periods in this series.

With Greaves gone I'd be surprised if Hope and Chase could bat out today

 

[Bedi]

Duffy one wicket away from beating Hadlee's record for most NZ wickets in a calendar year

 

[Bedi]

Colin de Grandhomme sinking piss in the outer with his mates is the most Colin de Grandhomme thing i've seen

Very much in character for CdG.

Also in character Neil Wagner in commmentary busting to be out there bowling bouncers for 40 overs.

Has no ego whatsoever. Would be great to have a beer with. Don't mind Wagner. Has the Darren Gough's about him in terms of giving it his all.

Wagner is a good egg imo. Really interesting back story, got everything through hard work and determination.

Good interview with him on this pod if you have time.

Duffy getting the wicket of Chase and the record for the most wickets in a calender year by an NZ bowler.

he will love aussie wickets next summer too

 

[madjoe]

Time for Imlach to step up he has been dreadful this tour

 

[ioppolo]

Well this turned into a steaming pile of shit within 30 overs for WI didn't it?

How do you rate him?

 

[Plugger35]

Duffy finishing the test with a 5'fer and a 2-0 series win, a meek WI batting performance today after a good opening partnership.

How do you rate him?

I think he would have to be in the mix for our first choice test bowling line up now along with Henry, O'Rourke and Jamieson.

Thar't a somewhat underwhelming appraisal for someone who just took the most wickets for NZ in a calendar year. So he's not some sort of generational player in other words?

Duffy is 31 years old and averages 32 per wicket at FC level.

He's done well this year, but could easily not be in the team next year on the Australian tour.
