Actually it might be tougher in the one dayers as there is more pressure to score runs quickly.

In tests,you can take your time.

WI innings in turmoil six down for 120


Well WI batting has been their biggest problem and soon it was proved right they lost their 5 wkt in Smith lbw to cairns.

But Lara has reached his fifty at the other end its the only consolidation for their suppporters.

After lara reached his fifty there was a confusion between him and Bravo that resulted in Bravos run out.

NZ 302, WI 120-6, Lara 54*

 

[jazz]

lara is the key here

 

[gold639]

He has to bat out the innings.

Otherwise,the match is as good as won for Nz.

BAUGH GIVES LARA GOOD COMPANY AT TEA ON DAY -2


Well Carton Baugh played lovely innings under pressure along with Lara to put WI under a respectable 170-6 at tea.

Coming to the crease at the score of 119 Lara and Baugh have so far put on 51 for the 7th wkt.

Baugh straight played a lovely drive, though it was a half volley.




NZ 302, WI 170-6 at tea day 2, Lara 72*, Baugh 36*

 

[The Champ]

Lara was maintaining his good form there and the crucial aspect of this innings was how calm he was at the crease with wkts falling at the other end.


Here u can see Lara playing two great shots.





Baugh too growed in confidence and matched his former captain in stroke play.


NZ 302, WI 170-6, Lara 72*, Baugh 36*

 

[gold639]

I hope Lara makes a century

 

[m_vaughan]

If you can make 250, then I think you will have a chance, but they you will have to really bowl well and dismiss NZ for less than 200.

 

[The Champ]

Its been a great session and crowd have really enjoyed the stuff and its worth to have watched the partnership.

TONY COZIER:


Well what a performance by Lara, atleast someone should have supported him at the top, atleast Baugh has done his job.

MICHAEL HOLDING:

Good innings so far by Baugh under pressure





NZ 302, WI 170-6 at tea day 2, Lara 72*, Baugh 36*

 

[gold639]

I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

If WI make around 260,then we will have a very interesting match on our hands.
