4th ODI, NZ v West Indies, Eden Park

[Fast Eddie]

Ryder
McCullum
Guptill
Taylor
Broom
Oram

would be my top 6 ODI batting line up.

Gutted Skippy couldn't get a few today.

Time for the second innings

 

[blain]

i would agree, but styris is still around... so i would think he would go 5, but i would put him 6 with oram 7. there isnt alot of experience in the middle order, so i think he would go well down there.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

WI- 1/0 and Mills finishes his first over and Gillespie is bowling now

 

[shiznit]

im happy sinclair f**ked up again....

just confirms to everyone how much of a f**k up he is...

well done to Guptill... certainly wasn't the best innings ive ever seen and he had a fair few lives but at least he went on and punished them...

 

[salivor]

I'd like to see Ryder and Guptill open. The one problem with our batting lineup at the moment especially with Oram in and out of the side is finishing off innings and it's been the case really since we moved McCullum out of 7. Put him back there as his batting style is suited perfectly to the last 10-15 overs.

WI- 2/0 after 20 overs

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

It will be interesting to see how the WI's go with their batting, after all it was as frail is a stick from the Wellington game...

 

[Bazal]

Dinesh Ramdin is the worst wicket keeper in the world, and he can't even bat. Just another thing that shows that the Windies are going to be sh*t for a few years yet, sadly

 

[shiznit]

the rain look like its coming in.... unbelievable really... theres been f**k all rain around in the last couple of weeks but it seems to be following the cricket...

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

WI- 12/0 and need 264 runs

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

wi- 22/0

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Make that, WI- 28/0

C'mon we needs wickets!!

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

WI- 44/0 after 8

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

WI- 47/0...wickets..when are these wickets going to fall

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Great, players are off coz of some rain that is getting heavy....

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

5.05 It's still raining quite heavily I'm afraid, and the covers won't be coming off any time soon. Fingers crossed this blows over because this match is looking very good right now - there will almost certainly be a reduction of overs however.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Good news!!

5.40pm OK, word is play will start at 5.50, so that's ten minutes away, and we will havea 40 Over match. I'll let you know the target when I hear.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Target's been adjusted accordingly.

West Indies will need to score another 188 in 31.2 overs, so that's a total of 235 in 40 overs.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

and play is back underway
