New Zealand v West Indies | 2nd test | Napier | 19-23 Dec 08

[12thMan]

300 up!! wooti wooti wooti Wooooot!!! Ballay Ballay
Wii leads by 300 and about 60 overs or two sessions left

 

[On_the_up]

Benn dropped by Franklin, a difficult chance at mid off over his head. He palmed it over the bar

 

[Random Aussie]

Meh conservative captaincy here

 

[On_the_up]

Powell out to Vettori, New Zealand need 312 off around 60 overs

 

[CricnPak]

96/2 off 22 overs...NZ on course here.
Will we have another cracking run-chase completed here?

 

[CricnPak]

Just as I said that, NZ loses HOW the aggressor for an extremely well-made 54 off 64.

Hmm chasing a big target is one thing (possibly the only thing) the NZ batting line up is good at.

 

[CricnPak]

Well Ross boy just hit 2 SIXES off Gayle the alst over. 162/3 now, another 151 in 24 overs required (6.29).

New Zealand are doing their bit to hang around here. 114 required from 102. And it's not hard to imagine them getting it. A wicket now though and they'll shut her down.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

All 4 results certainly possible.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Taylor removes BM...

Time to hang the close sign outside the shop?

 

[kablooee87]

And there goes McCullum. Not sure that was out though. I'd love to see a New Zealand collapse here.

Can go for it till vettori wicket.

 

[kablooee87]

Can go for it till vettori wicket.

I think they're at the stage now where they'll play moderately for a while and maybe make a charge at the end if no more wickets have fallen and it's too late to be bowled out.

It'll be out of reach by that time though. This is a draw in all likelihood.

 

[minhasuz]

It will end up ina draw unless someone takes hatricks

 

[kablooee87]

That's the end of that. Captains call it.
