Lunch on day 4
WI 235/4
Trail by 161

 

[Aman]

What a ball from Sodhi

 

[khalil1986]

Bravo is putting up a real fight here, West Indies will have to bat another 50 overs at least to save the game so looking like it may come in a losing cause but atleast they haven't rolled over.

 

[Saeed]

This match might get interesting if WI get their lead to 150 somehow but tail would need to bat carefully.

 

[Executioner]

NZ could not defeat WI by an innings what a shame.

Now, if this continues NZ might be in danger of losing the match!!! Need to get out Bravo ASAP

 

[Saeed]

WI takes the lead, now lets see how long they can survive.

 

[Wattoo]

Amazing innings by Bravo

 

[Aman]

Good knock from Bravo, but he's very lucky to be there

 

[Kwremb]

Good knock from Bravo, but he's very lucky to be there

Didn't watch the match, were there any missed chances?

 

[Ims1]

forecast for day 5 ?

 

[Buffet]

NZ and SL have taken the responsibility to serve super flat wickets to world cricket.

 

[Ims1]

I think there might be rain on day 5 . This venue has a rep for losing whole days play even when it is just a steady drizzle .

 

[Aman]

Didn't watch the match, were there any missed chances?

Not much of a chance, he was out... the ball clearly hit the strap of his glove and he wasn't given even on review with hotspot evidence.

He wasalso dropped by McCullum later on.

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I still in a massive hole and they would need to probably bat another session or session and a half to get out of jail here, one more wicket and kiwis are into a long tail and i think they will have to work hard but will win this match on day 5.

 

[OZGOD]

What's happened to the middle part of ANZAC? Thought this game would have been done for sure by today

 

[Steynremover]

Bravo gone for 218

 

[Steynremover]

End of a very good innings
WI 453/7

 

[Square Drive]

Oh dear - huge blow for WI. But they are still in this. Need another 125 from the remaining 3 wickets. Sammy, Shilly, Best, and Gabriel can all bat.

 

[Steynremover]

50 for Sammy

 

[Steynremover]

by Sammy
463/7

 

[Steynremover]

by Shillingford

 

[Steynremover]

by Sammy

475/7

 

[khalil1986]

They need to score another 100 at minimum so still looks very difficult as the way Sammy plays there will be plenty time left even if they score a 100.

 

[khalil1986]

490-7 consecutive boundaries from Shillingford.

 

[Square Drive]

Shilly gone, just when WI were looking good.

Need Sammy and Tino to put on a 50-60 run partnership. Come on WI.

 

[Saeed]

Lead is more than 100 now.

 

[khalil1986]

Best just dropped, he should stop trying to be a hero and just bat time an let Sammy do all the scoring.

 

[khalil1986]

NZ bowlers must feel like s*** this is the problem with enforcing the follow on, they have bowled 220+ overs.

 

[khalil1986]

Best playing some loose shots, 500 up need to keep going.

 

[On_the_up]

WI need another 50 runs to make any kind of match of it.

 

[Saeed]

best out.

 

[Saeed]

NZ need 112 to win.

 

[On_the_up]

Sammy gone. WI all out for 507

NZ need 112 to win

 

[khalil1986]

NZ 3-1 Fulton gone plus a bit of rain coming down so lets see what happens.

 

[Saeed]

If NZ go by the RunRate of 3 they should win by the end of day. Would need some good bowling from WI if they want to draw this.

 

[London_Lahori]

How's the pitch playing?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Can WI win this?

 

[deathstreak]

Nopes, its just the mental weakness from the NZ batsmen rather than any good balls.
Someone will stand up, im guess Mccullum and take NZ through

 

[Bullet Drive]

6 wickets to win.

CAN WI do it?

 

[Saeed]

Its 50/50 now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

45-4

 

[in_cutter]

Oh boy

 

[Bullet Drive]

WI pacers have been poor.

Need to bowl Deonarine

 

[khalil1986]

NZ probably still win however would love to hear their pompous commies now along with SA they have the worst commentators (don't listen to Indians)

 

[AFM]

It has to be said, the University Oval is a really beautiful ground.

 

[GenericBrand]

Haha NZ, so close yet so far.

 

[Ims1]

I think there might be rain on day 5 . This venue has a rep for losing whole days play even when it is just a steady drizzle .

Told you

 

[leatherface58]

Bloody rain

 

[ads101]

Haha NZ, so close yet so far.

Yet again. Poor guys. Were unlucky not to pull off the win against England and get the series win. Would have been huge for them.

Looks like they'll be denied this win by rain. Really a shame.

 

[SL_Fan]

Looks like WI will somehow escape with a draw here thanks mainly to lil Bravo and the rain gods.

 

[Smbhayi]

Look like Windies can escape from loss... A hour is left to cut off time.. Btw well played Sammy today...

 

[OZGOD]

Hobbits will regret not bowling out WI on Day 3

 

[Khabri420]

Disappointing results for NZ in the end. Begs the question - why didn't they anticipate the rain and play a little more aggressively
