West Indies: K Hope, E Lewis, S Hope (wk), S Hetmyer, J Mohammed, J Holder (capt), R Powell, A Nurse, R Beaton, S Cottrell, S Gabriel

West Indies won the toss and elected to field

 

[Abdullah719]

Holder opening the bowling when you have Gabriel and Beaton in the team. What a waste.

NZ looking good on 95/2 but a couple of wickets will put them under pressure, lower-order doesn't look too strong despite Boult's capabilities with the bat....

 

[KingKhanWC]

It's a 320+ pitch pitch/outfield but yes the lower order doesnt look to strong. Windies have a chance if they can keep it under 300. Should be a good ODI this one.

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[MMHS]

I think, in NZ, team has to plan to chase 300+ or post ~350 batting first.

pretty slow for a guy like beaton who was touching 150 in CPL?

7 for Boult, what a bowler!

 

[Aman]

Went for a nap at 3 down and woke back up to Boult shaking hands with the WI players.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another onie-sided international match. Home teams are bullying touring sides everywhere. SA bullying BD, OZ bullying England, India bullying SL, NZ bullying WI.

 

[Aman]

Wow wow wow, Lockie's wickets were amazing.

Deadly bouncer to the throat and the next ball which was a yorker at pace which knocked the stumps over.

We want to play better sides.

We want to play better sides.

Just when we talk about two-tier system they surprise us. WI beating England, SL whitewashing Pakistan. BD beating Australia, England.

Boult has potential to become an Odi ATG. He is this good but he is still far from being one in tests.

I love his brisk action. He is super fit. athletic. Especially when he has his inswinger going he is a treat to watch.

 

[Aman]

Boult may have taken 7, but look at these beauties back to back

This yorker at 147 clicks first up

There was a brute of a ball before this he got a wicket with, it was a fast bouncer right at the throat which he ended up getting a caught and bowled with.

Holy - man

Pakistan are coming so maybe you can expect some competitive games

Forget Boult here, did you not see those two rippers at pace from Lockie?

He has the potential to be an incredible spearhead bowler for us across formats.

Unreal man, the last time I saw a brute of a bouncer like that was MJ in his prime in the Ashes.

And I want to see Lockie firing on all cylinders against Pakistan.

I didn't watch the much but nevertheless I will check the highlights.

Boult looking in good form. Pakistan batsmen need to be wary.
