Ricardo Powell weaves dream spell

Nz began their innings after tean and both Sinclair and Mcmillan played very well. Mcmillan reached a well compiled aggressive fifty and really was responsible for keeping the WI at bay.

But Lara introduced Powell for a change to bowl his off spin and everything started changing.

Mcmillan was unlucky as a full blooded sweep hit the shot leg fielder and and balloned in air to be caught by baugh. Ricardo Powell breakks the crucial partnership.

Styris was promoted up the order ahead of Man in form Cairns and he too didnt stay that long.

If mcmillan was unlucky then styris was unluckiest underedging the ball on to the stumps.

Cairns joined Sinclair in the crease, while all this were going on Sinclair moved quietly to 86.
 
Sinclair played really a well organized innings until he played this ugly shot of bradshaw.

Cairns was joined by Mccullum and both started the partnership that i thought would be crucial. But Fiedel Edwards had other ideas as he produced one of the delivery that moved away from Cairns.

Vettori one of few lower order players in the who u can depend for scoring lots of runs but he really miss judged a delivery from powell and was bowled.

Mccullum was there and i had hopes in him that he would do something and he wasout lbw to powell. But he was shocked by the decision.

Powell then cleaned of the bowlers to finish with 5 wickets. Indeed a great dream spell by Powell that really gave WI a valuable lead of 81 runs. WI well and truly on top here at Queens Park Oval.
 
Tony Cozier: Well a great comeback by Wi to take 81 runs lead here and What a spell by Powell.

Ian Smith: Well Tony I Cant believe NZ have been bowled out for 222. Really its a dream spell.

Cozier: Well WI should play themselves well so that they bat NZ out of the game here and level the series.

Smith: Well I think NZ are starring at the barrel. This is big lead and I agree WI r on top at the moment thanks to Powell.
 
End of day 2

At close of day WI were 18-1 with a overall lead of 99 runs.

gayle began the second innings with 3 boundaries in the first over of bond. Two of them went through the slips and one of those was a gorgeous cover drive.

Sarwan joined Gayle and nothing seemed to stop Gayle as he still hit bond for 4 of the last ball of the day.

Tony Cozier: We come to the end of another day of competitive cricket. WI though they lost a wicket r still on top.

Martin Crowe: Ya very much on top. Gayle is in awesome form.

Tony Cozier: Do join us for the live coverage of this match tommorrow. Until then its Good Night to u all bye, Sweet Dreams.
 
Lara comes to the crease

WI are 40-3 at the end of first hour play on the 3rd morning.

Gayle played very well this morning with same aggressive fashion.

Sarwan was out edging one to mccullum of Cairns.



Bond who was punished by Gayle for several runs disguised him with a slower delivery only to see to his delight gayle attempting a aggressive shot and was caught at covers.

Lara and Sarwan r at the crease and hopes of the entire nation rests on Lara's shoulder.
 
I have to say, it's a beautifully presented tour. A lot of good screens in there. The black patches on the players backs are very strange seeing as you don't have custom kits installed.
Great work anyway.
 
Cairns and Chanderpaul share session honours

WI have managed to reach a safe position on Lunch on third day. WI were 178-9 at Lunch thanks to valuable 50 by chanderpaul well supported by Lara and Jacobs.

Earlier Lara played a very aggressive innings as he really dominated the innings with really punishing the bowlers while C'paul played a cautious innings.

But after doing well for 40 runs lara holed out to long off.
 
Powell who joined C'paul after laras exit hit a good 4 but didnt last long he edged one to sinclair at slips of tuffey.

Bravo who came in next edged one from cairns to wk


Really WI innings in shatter with only c'paul and jacobs the last recognized pair who can take WI to safety

They did the same as both played aggressive cricket hitting 4's and even going over the top with ease.

Wi just escaped from a disastrous 94-6 thanks to their partnership

Lawson joined Chanderpaul, but a terrific mixup between these two saw lawson sacrificing his wicket.

Bradshaw comes in and drives a 4 and soon misses one from cairns. Cairns on fire man picks up 5 wkts.



Mean while chanderpaul compiled his half century. A truly crucial one. Edwards is giving him company.



 
Tony Cozier: Well the match is balanced at this stage Wi lead over by 250 runs. Crucial innings by C'Paul and Lara, Superb spell by Cairns.

Ian Smith: Ya its really heating up hope we have a close match.

Cozier: Well c'paul has to be praised for his effort, man what a contribution these runs r all valuable. Hope WI should raise their lead upto 300.

Smith: Yes tough Job ahead for the KIWIS.

Cozier: Do join us for the post Lunch session
