Snoozies never cease to amaze with their ineptitude, 55 runs and 3 wickets in that session. At least Vettori should push them to a half decent score.

Strange scorecard from the Snoozers, all except two (Martin and the nightwatchman) made double figures but only one went beyond 50.

Gayle making them pay now it seems, WI look set for a big lead.

by Brass Monkey Thu 26 Jul 2012, 20:34

Gayle's ruining them.,, twice. In the face.

by skully Thu 26 Jul 2012, 21:41

Crystal giving it some humpty.

by Big Dog Fri 27 Jul 2012, 09:10

Looks like some poor fielding is going to cost the Snoozers plenty.

by WideWally Fri 27 Jul 2012, 15:35

Crystal Gayle reaches his century with a six off Chris Martin.

How musical.

On this Olympic opening day it's a rare gold for Shiv...

by skully Fri 27 Jul 2012, 23:26

After a 0-250 start, the Sheep did OK to take 6 for 200. Still, they are looking down the barrel.

Nice Test comeback by Crystal.

Shiv seems to need a crisis to perform. Awesome vs Australia and England. Plays NZ on a road in a comfortable position and gets a first ball duck.

by The One Sat 28 Jul 2012, 04:34

just got a good ball first up. not much to read into

by tricycle Sat 28 Jul 2012, 05:05

It definitely can't be a coincidence that Williamson has taken two wickets and Vettori none.

Top effort by the openers

Kane Williamson chucks. Chuckedy chuckedy chuck-chucks.

Well, we can probably allow the Snoozers a chucker, it's not as if they're much of a threat... OK I suppose they did draw a series with Australia last year but other than that they're pretty ordinary.

by tricycle Sat 28 Jul 2012, 10:40

Agreed and thirded

I agree but we can't really complain though. Marlon Samuels is the worst chucker I've ever seen and I maintain that Narine chucks no matter whatever new rules are in place and his replacement would be Shillingford who is worse than Narine.

by skully Sun 29 Jul 2012, 01:27

So Vettori broke his near 100 over wicketless spell. Maybe Narine can crash through in the first session tomoz to set up a Ganja victory. Snoozies will have to bat past halfway in Day 5 to avoid defeat.

Guptill's lousy for converting 50s to 100s.

A bit like Fleming before him then...

by WideWally Sun 29 Jul 2012, 12:37

I guess the sporting highlight today will be this test match. Who do you think will win? Or will it be a draw?

by WideWally Sun 29 Jul 2012, 16:13

Kemar Roach knocking over both Taylor & Williamson to give the Windies a huge advantage.

by tricycle Sun 29 Jul 2012, 16:17

Bracewell? scratch

Thank goodness crockinfo fixed that.
