New Zealand v West Indies | 1st Test | 03/12/2013 - 07/12/2013 | Dunedin

[Bullet Drive]

Didn't even know this series was on.

Does any one know what channel this is on?

 

[Energetic]

Just as I have predicted, poor crowd levels for this low key series. Cannot believe these teams play 3 times as much Cricket compared to Cricket loving nations like Nepal and Bangladesh.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Which channel?

 

[Badboy_1]

no channel in uk and europe i think

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis off to a decent start, both these mediocre sides will be looking to gain confidence by trying to win this series, The kiwis i guess start as slight favourites.

New zealand 27/0 at the moment.

 

[London_Lahori]

Why is this not on sky sports? I thought all NZ home matched where shown on sky sports?

Usually they show all New Zealand home matches

They showed New Zealand vs South Africa last year

New Zealand are not a top team and there is less interest in Cricket compared to major teams like SA, India and Australia. English fans prefer watching these teams compared to weaklings like Bangladesh, West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.

Maybe because you spend too much time watching your favourite players play ODIs like Umar Akmal instead of keeping an eye on the proper stuff

Yeah they've always shown NZ home matches, for as long as I can remember.

Like I stated above, they've always shown their home matches. There the same standard of team they have always been.

Well i have to admit he is s fanboy of UA but this is pakpassion. Majority of posters are pakistani and nz wi are fairly low ranked sides so how would he know? Hardly and media build up or anything either. i like both nz and wi so its awkward following the score

Look who's back.

The guy who only comes out when Misbah wins series.

Where were you when we lost in the CT? Got humiliated in SA etc etc?

Don't get brave because Misbah won a bloody ODI series. It was only a three match series. Games he performed we lost, when he didn't perform.. we win.

 

[EarthBoltX]

Rutherford playing quite a gem thus far.

 

[EarthBoltX]

... And then he kind of gives it a way.
That's a shame.

 

[Energetic]

West Indies just don't care about tests anymore.

 

[EarthBoltX]

West Indies just don't care about tests anymore.

Imagine if they fail in the T20 World Cup too.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rutherford is a class act.

 

[EarthBoltX]

Lunch.

NZ 100/1
Fulton 31*
Redmond 4*

Rutherford out for 62.

 

[Space Cat]

Good looking knock by Rutherford but again threw his wicket away.

Pitch looks to have more in it than last season.

 

[Energetic]

Corey Anderson is a player to watch out for. Reminds me of Shane Watson. Ramdin has played over 50 test matches and still cannot even average 30 poor stuff. Usually batsman that play that many test matches should be averaging at least 35 by now.

 

[Space Cat]

Have a feeling McCullum will score in this test series and buy his spot for another year of failures.

 

[Aman]

Weak sauce from the Windies.

 

[Space Cat]

Fulton out to continue the trend of getting out at the end of a session.

bad back brendon at the crease.

 

[Space Cat]

McCullum never missed a test match since he debuted. Surprising stat.

 

[Space Cat]

That straight drive from McCullum.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI making a mistake by persisting with Sammy in test matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI bowling looks good on paper only , on the field they are pretty average.

 

[Justcrazy]

The WI selectors had full confidence in this side that lost two Test matches in a total of five days! The best bowlers in the India ODIs were Rampaul and Narine, neither of whom is playing here. I wonder if the selectors still feel justified picking this (already tired-looking) bowling attack."

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 70 runs already.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI desperately need wickets here

 

[GenericBrand]

They're all dealing in boundaries it seems.

 

[Justcrazy]

217 / 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Gabriel is over rated as a fast bowler. WI are wasting some really good bowlers.

 

[Justcrazy]

Taylor this poor bowling here.

 

[Space Cat]

McCullum can be so good when in form. wish it happened more

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

Kiwis on charge here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Last 10 ovs 55/0 RR 5.50

 

[akheR]

Last 10 ovs 60/0 RR 6.00

 

[Space Cat]

what a shot

 

[Executioner]

Baz back to bashing minnows as he usually does.

Can't believe he failed to score a 50 against us in the tests

 

[Space Cat]

Oh wow. Gabriel is getting blitzed.

 

[Justcrazy]

partnership 112 runs already

 

[Justcrazy]

300 up here

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Mac in t20 mode

 

[Aman]

WI are officially rubbish...

I thought Pakistan and NZ fans had it bad, these guys were kings now they're this..

Does anyone even care about cricket in the Caribbean anymore?

 

[Justcrazy]

306 / 3

still 15 overs to go.

Kiwis can easily reach 380 here by stumps.

 

[Justcrazy]

310 / 3

Can WI make a breakthrough here before stumps?

 

[Aman]

Should look to bat once and put the Windies out of their misery.

 

[Space Cat]

McCullum smokes one right out of the ground.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen in mid 80s now.

 

[Justcrazy]

11 overs to go, two set batsmen in , it can be a carnage.

 

[Space Cat]

Got to work in 10 mins. Need these guys to get their centuries.

 

[Justcrazy]

331 . 3 after 80 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

342 / 3

6 overs left

 

[Space Cat]

That scoreline...

 

[Space Cat]

Im one of his biggest critics but that was a great century by McCullum.

 

[leatherface58]

Macca was in beast mode during the England home series as well. Redmond as usual proving he is useless. He better bowl some pies that get him wickets else he is certainly no test bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

380 by stumps is possible here

 

[Justcrazy]

7th Test ton and first in 3 years,

maccullum

 

[Executioner]

Well played Baz.

Looks like West Indies are about to face their 3rd consecutive innings defeat in tests

 

[Justcrazy]

Things looking really bad for WI here

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen have got hundreds now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 173

 

[Justcrazy]

3 overs left

can Kiwis make it 380?

 

[leatherface58]

Things looking really bad for Kiwis here

Eh?

 

[Justcrazy]

All these WI bowlers are over rated.

 

[Justcrazy]

Eh?

typing mistake !!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Why is F. Edwards / jermone Taylor not considered for selection?

 

[Sandeep]

Is the pitch flat or West Indies just plain incompetent? Great batting by Bazz and Ross BTW

 

[Justcrazy]

365 / 3

 

[Aman]

Pitch is flat but the WI have been pretty poor with the ball there was a bit early on and they didn't capitalize.

 

[Justcrazy]

Last over in progress.

 

[Justcrazy]

367 / 3

That is stumps.

Kiwis will look to bat once here.

 

[OZGOD]

Hobbits doing ok, pulverising a shambolic Windian attack. Let's see how the Windies bat on it before making judgment tho.

Would do the same to you in NZ

 

[Mamoon]

Wow, beastly effort.

It would be great to see both getting double hundreds.

WI annoy me to be honest.

 

[Executioner]

Its not that West Indies are annoying, just that there poor body language makes me dislike them. They are all of nice character and they have some natural strokemakers. But when they represent national colours they don't look motivated as compared to leagues like IPL/CPL whatever you name. They are much better than thi

 

[Aman]

Tino does fire up when playing for the WI, he was probably the only bowler who tried today.

This why they annoy me, they are least bothered with the results of the national team. Always laughing and joking around doesn't go down well with me personally.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Lets see how WI bat on this pitch!
