Windies belted the Kiwis last night in the first T20 at Lauderhill in Florida. NZ's awful bowling no match for Gayle and Pollard. Ross Taylor and Jacob Oram (suprise, suprise) picking up injuries as well. Taylor to miss part of the ODI series. Second T20 is tonight, again in Florida.
Pretty gutsy move from the WICB to stage both T20s in America, but what I saw of the replay this afternoon showed a very healthy crowd with a great atmosphere. The ground itself was very similar to the typical cricket stadium in the Windies. Flat pitch and smallish boundaries to boot. Second T20 tonight. NZ to get belted by even more with a weakened side.
ODIs:
July 5 and 7 @ Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica
July 11, 14 and 16 @ Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts
July 20-22 West Indies A vs. New Zealanders @ Sir Viv Stadium, Antigua
Tests:
July 25-29 @ Sir Viv Stadium, Antigua
August 2-6 @ Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica
Windies to win the ODIs 3-2. NZ the Tests 1-0. Windies limited overs batting looks very strong in home conditions. Looking forward to the Tests the most. Two very evenly matched longer form sides. Hope to see similar pitches to the Australia series a few months back, plenty of spin and spongy bounce.
