Just as I thought he would Ross Taylor is going real well against the Windies. He was going at better than a run a ball at a stage when NZ looked to be in real trouble. He has the makings to be a real good player for the Black Caps.

Well it's good to see a West Indian victory for once. I read it was a very close match, with once again Bond performing brilliantly. The West Indian scorecard seems to consist of an accumulation of starts.

Glad to see the windies winning after a while. I think they are a stronger team than they make themselves out to be. I mean some of the guys have serious talent. They may not be worldbeaters but they are no minnows either. But they do play like one most of the time. These guys really underperform. I mean, if they put their head down and apply themselves, they may not beat the big teams but may atleast be able to give a good fight. I do think they have the talent for that.....
Bond well and truly had the measure of the whole team. It was a shame he couldn't keep them from scoring 3 runs in the last over. He provided problems.
Very close game. The West Indies I guess deserved something. They have played well but lack the leadership and skills to keep playing well for a whole day.
Had Vettori played we would of won obviously but thats the price for resting. Im not overly impressed with Eden park pitch. It doesn't live up to the other ones standards.
Im glad we finally got tested and at least we can now get something out of the tour. Dropped chances, missed run outs probably need to be worked on. The fielding coach hasn't amazed me with what hes done yet. Mabee hes made a little impact.
Now in the tests the West Indies are going to have to face a lot of Bond and a lot of Vettori. THey havn't been able to play any bowler comfortably. Bond even had a dropped catch which ended up going for a couple of runs and an edge between slip and wicket keeper. Those moments could of cost us. Then there was Patels rank full toss which was dispatched for 4 in the second last over. Bond could of defended 5 or 6 runs from the last over, but not 3. Taylor was impressive but played a silly shot. Those 3 balls we didn't bat at the end could of cost us too. So hopefully some lessons learnt.
Definatly. They arn't pushovers. They have a long batting order and a lot of bowling options. Their main problem in my opinion is Chanderpaul. He is a poor captain. Hes also a terrible speaker. THeir other problem is lack of concentrating and playing at their best for whole days. They seem to have good patches and then all of a sudden they totally lose it and crumble.
Can't wait for the tests. 3-0 there would be nice.

How, Fulton and Patel in New Zealand Test side
A bit suprising that Vincent has been dropped but I guess we'll have to wait and see how James Marshall goes.

It'll be interesting to see how these guys go, particularly Patel. Is he rated highly in NZ?

what will happen to Patel now the supersub is gone?
i spose they could play Vettori as an alrounder but thats damn risky.

its never easy for NZ
i think they do really well to put such a competitive team on the park given its such a small country, with few players to choose from.
