1st Test: New Zealand v West Indies at Dunedin Dec 3-7, 2013

[TheParraboy]

My kiwi cousins still mourning about the RL world cup thrashing to Australia?

Don't fear Bros ,should chalk up a win or two vs the hapless WI

1st of 3 tests starts tomorrow (Wed 3/11) 8.30am EST

 

[TheParraboy]

WI won toss and elected to field

NZ 0/9

 

[Twizzle]

Rutherford looks nice and straight, Fulton looks like he can only play off his legs, looks pretty shaky on off stump.

0-45 after an hour but only 12 overs, pissweak over rate

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee the Windies are a rabble, how does Sammy continually get picked???

 

[Rod]

Blazing innings from Rutherford comes to a silly end. Not the first time he's got out 5 minutes before lunch either.

NZ 100/1 at lunch.

 

[hineyrulz]

He threw it away, looks a good young player but his shot selection is not the best.

The wicket has a bit in it but the Windies bowled poo, Sammy as first change seamer lol.

Blazing innings from Rutherford comes to a silly end. Not the first time he's got out 5 minutes before lunch either.

NZ 100/1 at lunch.

He seemed like he just lost patience, there was nothing wrong with his run rate, it was actually pretty good.

He looked the goods for mine.

 

[JJ]

Bit of his old man in Rutherford, I reckon...

183/2
Fulton 60
Taylor 35

This Gabriel fellow is special

 

[Helmet Man]

Going to be a tight contest. I think this series will determine who is the better test nation of the bottom tier between NZ, WI, Ban, and Zim.

 

[ek999]

What's happened to Vettori? Hasn't played a test match for over a year but still playing ODI's. Has he retired, been dropped or injured

 

[Rod]

He didn't feel he was quite ready to return from his injury, he's not far away though.

NZ 288/3, McCullum (60*) and Taylor (75*) looking comfortable against some pretty average bowling it must be said.

 

[Timbo]

I have seen better bowlers than Shannon Gabriel.

 

[TheParraboy]

Kiwis in total control here

3/313

12 overs left in the day remaining to bowl

 

[TheParraboy]

3/325

macca 84 and taylor 88. about to enter the nervous 90s

 

[Timbo]

They have to take the new ball surely.

I have historically been a supporter of Sammy, but geez surely his days are numbered.

 

[Timbo]

And why in the name of all that is holy do you pick only three seamers, two of whom are only slightly above medium pace, in Dunedin of all places and then put your opponent in? What is the point of Deonarine here? Why isn't Cotterell playing? And why in the hell do they have three spinners in their squad and only 4 quicks? It's NEW ZEALAND for gods sake.

 

[TheParraboy]

Wheres Narine?

Remember a year or two ago, someone came on here fapping how this guy is gonna carve up the world ,lol

 

[TheParraboy]

Roach is a big loss for them, Rampaul is steady and better than anything in this tests line up

 

[TheParraboy]

taylor 100
macca 101

NZ 3/354

 

[Rod]

Narine should definitely be playing, historically we can't play him. Even two spinners would be better than this Gabriel who is a deadest plodder.

McCullum and then Taylor bring up their 100's meanwhile.
