West Indies in New Zealand

[genghis_khan]

whatever...the fact is Bravo is a match-winner, and the kiwis would do well to nullify his influence on the game.
No Corey Collymore is a huge blow, he was the Windies best bowler in their Australian tour...

and where the heck is Pedro Collins?????????????????

 

[James219]

I heard Collins was injured a while ago but it's gone on pretty long. Maybe he's becoming discouraged everytime he attempts to come back, no idea really, someone else may know. But he was a quality bowler and developed in the 2004/05 VB Series with his swing and consistency.

yes his swing was good in that vb series...he had the aussies on the ropes a few times, one being that game at the GABBA that was washed out.

such a shame.

This is strange. Collymore isn't in the squad. Is he injured?

 

[genghis_khan]

yeh Collymore wasnt available through injury.

 

[ZexyZahid]

He was the frontline bowler of the West Indies. Too bad he isn't there.

West Indies 13/0 after three overs in the Twenty20 match. A modest opening. Good thing about it is that they didn't lose wickets.

Just as I wanted to post this Gayle is out. West Indies 14/1 (3.3 ov)

 

[aussie1st]

Wow how economical is Bond. 2 overs 3 runs and a wicket in 20/20. Clearly WI lack of experience is showing up. Also the fact this is their first game on tour.

Ganga looks even worse than Katich strike rate wise. 65.38 in a 20/20 is bloody slow.

 

[irottev]

Did you see the amount of swing Bond got? Amazing stuff. He must be one of the biggest swingers.

Im annoyed we are bowling first. Ill only get mabee 10 overs of us batting at this rate. I wanna see Cairns

This is pathetic from the West Indies really.

 

[aussie1st]

In defence of the Windies this is the fast time they are playing this. Sadly they are going about it the wrong way. They will get about 120 from their 20. The Kiwis should get that with ease.

The only way you will be seeing Cairns is if he is promoted which I would say if very likely to happen. He may even open or bat at 3.

 

[ZexyZahid]

West Indies 84/5 (16.0 ov)

This could be one of the lowest totals in Twenty20 matches.

I hope Cairns opens. After all it's a farewell match for him. When he is placed as number 5 you won't see him bat.

 

[irottev]

We should lose at least 1 wicket. He should come at 3 in my opinion. 4 at absolute latest.

Watching Richardson run in that suit will give me nightmeres. They really needed to use a censor there. That was gross lol. At least he hasn;t got a small one. That would of been embarrising.

Early wicket. I would say we will see some of Cairns. a run a ball still requires some risk.

Vincent's batting superbly atm

4 fours and a six

 

[irottev]

Streaker :/

They even got him full frontal on TV.

I think there should be a death penalty for it. If not that, chop of their ..... Then it wouldn;t happen. Seriously, Im not joking. Chop them off and no man would ever do it again. Security isn't good enough.

I am embarrised and disgusted.



Cairns bowled

Why did he go after Bravo. I saw it coming

Oh well. What a player. Goodbye Cairns.

Cairns could of waited for Gayle.

We have lost far too many wickets also. Whether we were playing with Cairns in the back of their minds or not I don't know. But really, Cairns shouldn;t of been needed Or at least until 6-7 overs or something left at most. The team didn't help him out.

 

[Cricket_60]

death penalty for streaking?? lol

Your second option would definitely stop people doing it though

Black Caps are still favourites but dam they are making it hard for themselves. I would have thought Cairns would have got a fairytale finish.
