2-1 to the Kiwis

 

[BlackThunder]

^ Thank you. Its worth watching now at least its not a dead rubber.

 

[MarkCooper]

west indies off to a flyer

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Two good shots. This lefty looks impressive.

 

[MarkCooper]

Tino Best must have been dropped at least a dozen times in his career now.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Oh nice fielding.

 

[khalil1986]

Which channel is this on?

 

[khalil1986]

In the UK I meant.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

What a shot, FOUR!

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Six!

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Not a bad over that for West Indies. 21/0

 

[Zohaib Shah]

So far this Lefty has a block or hit game. No singles or doubles being taken.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Four!!

 

[Aman]

Which channel is this on?

I don't think they're showing it.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

What a straight shot! FOUR!!!!!

 

[Zohaib Shah]

West Indies going after boundries. Decent over that. West indies 37/0.

 

[Aman]

WI on fire!

 

[Aman]

Powell is a beast

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Powel on fire! What a straight drive! FOUR!!

 

[Aman]

He's got it!!! 100k

 

[Zohaib Shah]

SIX!!!!!!! What a beasty shot that!

 

[MarkCooper]

Someone in the crowd just won 10550000.00 rupees

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Great over for West Indies. 56/0

 

[Zohaib Shah]

New Zealand forced to use a spinner now. Lets see how West Indies does from here.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

That was a good over for New Zealand. Only 3 from it, 59/0. 7 overs.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Kieran Powell Scores a 50 nice shot for four.

 

[BlackThunder]

When did Powell make his debut? First time seeing him play, looks good solid technique

 

[Zohaib Shah]

64/0 8 overs only 5 from it. West Indies cruising to make a big score.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Four!!

 

[Zohaib Shah]

New Zealand desperately need a wicket here. This match seems to be getting out of their hands.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Four!

 

[Zohaib Shah]

9 overs 74/0

 

[Aman]

I hope WI score big, we need practice chasing big totals.

 

[Space Cat]

Fantastic batting by Powell who has looked completely out of his depth all tour. Just batting like he has nothing to lose and its great to watch.

This ground is smaller than most and the pitch is flat. Could be a very high scoring match.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

Lovely shot by Powell I hope he scores a 100 today.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

OUT! Powell gone . LBW

 

[Space Cat]

Not sure why McCullum chose to bowl on this belter.

Wants to try chase something maybe.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

The New Zealand Afridi will lick his lips over this pitch.

 

[Aman]

The New Zealand Afridi will lick his lips over this pitch.

He isn't anything like Afridi, he's a smart Watson if anything.

 

[Zohaib Shah]

He isn't anything like Afridi, he's a smart Watson if anything.

Oh really? Haven't seen him play before, I guess I will today.

 

[Mr Consistent]

ran out charles

 

[Space Cat]

Oh really? Haven't seen him play before, I guess I will today.

Hes a bit like Lance Klusener.

 

[Space Cat]

NZ bowlers have dragged this back brilliantly but Windies still have a platform to push for 300.

 

[Space Cat]

Nathan McCullum still yet to take more than 3 wickets in an innings which is why his average is so poor.

Good economy rate combined with his brilliant fielding and power finishing makes him a decent player in this format however.

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by bravo

 

[Mr Consistent]

11 from the over

 

[Mr Consistent]

250 up for wi

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 for bravo

 

[Mr Consistent]

raining of fours in small ground

 

[Aman]

Mate that's ODI cricket in the last 10 in 2013... #bowlersnightmare

 

[Aman]

Wicket is a phatta

 

[Aman]

We could either get very close or fail miserably.

 

[Aman]

C'mon Corey, go and beat your record

 

[Aman]

Anderson on fire! C'mon boy!

 

[Anfield]

So if WI wins this (highly likely) the series would end as a draw? that's a bummer for NZ!

 

[Aman]

Should be Ronchi's last chance here, he never performs -.-

 

[Aman]

Bravo as Test captain

Guy wouldn't be able to complete 90 overs in 3 days..

 

[Aman]

Drawing a series to this WI team at home is truly an achievement

Congrats to Windies for drawing the series with your B team. #backtothedrawingboard

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

WI drawing the series 2-2 playing away is laudable

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Comment from a kiwi - Are India in the country yet? Can we borrow Kohli for about 30 overs please?

 

[Aman]

Kohli wouldn't have done anything at 6 down. We've lost too many wickets too early, no one would recover from 80 odd for 5 and go on to win.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

That was just a funny comment .....

 

[Aman]

In such a situation I'd much rather prefer

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Dhoni wouldn't even go for win .... you will reach 250/ 280 playing out all the overs
Kohli will try and get out

 

[Aman]

Sign from above that Ronchi doesn't belong. #Latham #Watling

 

[Space Cat]

i knew the NZ of old was hiding under the surface.

 

[style_guru]

So how was the new 's performance today?

 

[Space Cat]

NZ is Afridi.
