West Indies v New Zealand | 3rd Test | June 26-30 | Bridgetown

[eradicator]

If WI lose Gayle early and decide against chasing the target then Chanderpaul is always there to secure a draw.

 

[MarkCooper]

Yorkshire's Kane Williamson has put NZ in a good position. He will surely win man of the match and dedicate his victory to his Yorkshire team mates and coaches who have made him the player he is.

 

[SL_Fan]

The game is nicely poised atm but more rain is expected tomorrow tho. Top knock by Williamson. If NZ decide to declare overnight and rain stays away this could go right down to the wire. Hope rain stays away.

 

[Aman]

Bat 10 more overs to take time away and get the lead to 350-370.

 

[trogger]

How much rain is there meant to be?

if it's anything more than a quick shower or two you would think they will declare first thing.

Would be a complete joke if we declare overnight only for the rain to stay away the whole day.

We don't deserve to lose from here.

 

[eradicator]

NZ would take it safe and set a target of 370-400 runs in 75-80 overs. WI would give up the chase as soon as Gayle is dismissed. Then there is alternate possibility of rain chipping in between from time to time.

This Test has draw written over it .

I have put a grand to back the draw.

[Kianig89]

Can't watch anything else than FIFA WC these days

 

[Mr Consistent]

Bold decision from the kiwis

 

[Mr Consistent]

KA Edwards gone 2nd wicket for boult

 

[Mr Consistent]

now watching for Gayle

 

[eradicator]

Chanders promoted. Means WI are more likely to be content with a draw from here onwards.

 

[eradicator]

As long as Gayle is there fast runs can come for WI at anytime.

 

[leatherface58]

Southee the boss

 

[MarkCooper]

Gayle out with an ugly hack

 

[eradicator]

No chance of a WI victory now , its either NZ or Draw.

 

[Mr Consistent]

Gayle gone

 

[MarkCooper]

Will Ottis Gibson survive yet another test series loss?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kiwis should win this from here, dont know why W.I played just 5 front line batsmen, Poor decision by Ramdin and team is suffering as a consequence now, good stuff from mcullum to declare in such a situation

 

[Saj]

Rain spoiling a very interesting match.

New Zealand could still go on and win this match.

WI 96/4.

 

[leatherface58]

Windies falling apart! Southee, Craig and Boult all doing their bit!!

 

[leatherface58]

From Cricinfo:

Chad: "Fun fact: Shivnarine Chanderpaul has now been stumped more times in Test cricket than the legendary Chris Martin was."

Phantom!

 

[MarkCooper]

chucker coming on to bowl

 

[mithun_minhas]

Williamson is reminding me of Muralitharan.

 

[leatherface58]

Holder and Shilly are going for it!

 

[mithun_minhas]

The way Holder is batting, he looks like a genuine batsman.

 

[MarkCooper]

We may have taught Kane how to bat at Yorkshire but we don't condone his awful, illegal, bowling action.

 

[mithun_minhas]

What a pathetic way to get clean bowled between legs.

The man looked like a top quality bat until that ball.

 

[MarkCooper]

To be fair the ball bounced about 6 inch lower than it should have.

 

[mithun_minhas]

ROFLOLOLOLOL!!!!

The worst review ever?

Ball hits the middle of the bat, pad no where near the bat

 

[Ahson8]

78.3
Wagner to Taylor, no run, appeal for an lbw and he has been given not out and NZ are reviewing it, it was a inswinging yorker and Wagner somehow imagined that hit his boot first and then bat, replays showed that the boot was nowhere close and it smashed the bat and nothing else! That was hilarious!

Would be nice to see a video of this lol.

 

[mithun_minhas]

New ball.

This could be the end of Test Match.

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by Shillingford

 

[Mr Consistent]

West Indies require another 55 runs with 1 wicket remaining

 

[mithun_minhas]

West Indies require another 55 runs with 1 wicket remaining

If only Chanderpaul or Ramdin stuck around for a bit more.

W Indies threw this series away with some irresponsible batting.

 

[razabbas]

Congrts NZL

Well deserved victory

 

[Mr Consistent]

all over for wi

 

[Mr Consistent]

Congrats Kiwis

 

[mithun_minhas]

The new ball does the trick for Kiwis.

Congrats to all Kiwi fans.

Ball swung a mile. Too good for most batsmen in the world.

 

[Mr Consistent]

New Zealand won by 53 runs & won the series by 2-1

 

[NZcricketfan]

Can't think of many other captains who would have declared with so much time left.
