I didn't expect such a fight from West Indies. Even Fleming thought the same about it.
Captain Stephen Fleming admitted: "We should have lost that game, there's no doubt about it.

Vettori was amazing.
Bond is the best ODI bowler in cricket. Thats my opinion. Hes much more consistant and threatening than Lee.
We went pretty badly really, the conditions were very bowler friendly. Its good that we have such talented depth in the batting order.

yeh an opinion of pure bias!
i guess the ICC doesnt agree with u.
hopefully Bravo will return next game.
28 dot balls in a row.
The ICC rankings don't take into account that hes been out of the game for years and has jumped up very quickly.
He has the best average and best strikerate with a fantastic economy rate. He bowled the last over and went for 1 run.
I mean you say Lee is the best, well Ponting does anyway. Lee on his day is fantastic, but Bond every day is fantastic. He must be one of the most consistant bowlers in the world.
I see his every game where you guys probably don't. So mabee I am bias. I might upload to the internet some of his bowling, ill record Christchurch.
I hope Bravo returns as well.
I am glad one of our many injured players will be back. Mills is replacing Mason. A bit of a shame because Mason was bowling very well.
Now we need Oram and Adams back for a full powered team.

Oram is definately a necessity
Bravo is the X-Factor of the Windies, he can win them games off his own bat or with the ball. He is just pivotal to their overall performance which is why it is such a shame he's always injured.
I also think Chris Gayle and Dwayne Smith need to stand up, they are the most powerful hitters in the team and really need to be counted.
looking forward to the tests, NZ dont play many tests and the Windies will have Lara...i think the tests will be very competitive.

I wish Aus could find a Oram or Bravo. They both can change a match with either ball or bat. The test series definitely will be good because NZ aren't great in the test arena and any side with Lara in it will be tough to beat. Also maybe Sarwan will finally step up and reach his potential.

well i think the selectors are hoping Watson will develop like that but Oram is a powerful hitter while Bravo is just freakish with ball especially.
I dont think Watson is either.

The test series is what I am looking forward to. Fingers crossed for good weather, its getting into winter here due to the poor scheduling.
The West Indies should do better in the tests. They havn't played an ODI for ages, we havn't played a test for ages. So mabee that will show, like the West Indies lack of recent game has shown. Bond and Vettori in a test match makes me drool everywhere. And Lara, well, its gonna be good. Can't wait to see how Fulton does in his own game. (bes better domestically in the 4 day version.) and hopefully Papps will get recalled, as I think hes a bette roptions than Cumming or How. Theres definatly a spot for grabs and another consistantly fantastic season should get him a place.

It definitely is strange scheduling. West Indies finished up in Aus in Decemeber. NZ finished late December. I would have thought a January series was the best bet.
I can't wait to see how Bond goes in a test match, its been a very long time since we have seen him in the whites.
How looked pretty decent in some of his ODI showings so he might not be a bad option. Cumming I don't see as an opener for the Black Caps. If Papps gets a go the Windies would be the team to go up against. They don't have a speedster in the speed of Lee to bowl that quick bouncer to bring back memories for Papps so this would be the best time to bring him back.
