New Zealand v West Indies, 1st Test, Dunedin, 3-7 December, 2013

Possibly a competitive series? Or Snoozies to smash 'em?

snoozies can only smash sheep, the wallabies and Mudge

Oo-er.

I quite enjoy watching cricket in New Zealand. At least they play test cricket on traditional cricket grounds.

This is likely to be a competition to see who can be the least crap, though. And isn't it about time Vettori made a comeback? Seems he's been injured for well over a year now? And I noticed he's playing domestic cricket. Surely he has to come straight back into the NZ side?

Like Eden Park?

There are more Snoozies in the "West Indies" team in the practice match than West Indians.

The unscheduled series cocked up their preparation.

not sure why the Windies have selected so many spinners in their squad.

Heh. Was going to say something very similar.

England made them look like world beaters last winter. Disciplined, steady bowling to attacking fields should do for the Windies as it nearly did for the pale Windies.

They usually don't play test on the rugby grounds. Dunedin, Christchurch, Queenstown...they're all lovely grounds.

the snoozies could have their home ground in a field of turnips...at least the possums would turn up...

No Bracewell?

Who's Ish Sodhi? The Snoozers have become random anonymous bastards again these days.

The young leggie. Hasn't even played a great deal of FC cricket. But they picked him in Bangla and they say he did alright, in parts.

Got some runs as well, IIRC.

Cheers. Just going by his stats, how did he get picked?

Apparently toured India and Sri Lanka with the A team.... okay, that may not have helped his average.

Quit yo jibber-jabber, you crazy foooo'! Murdock liked him juss fine.

But did it fit in with Buchanan's pie charts?

2-metre & the Hobbit going OK. Sheep 0-85.

hobbit gawn.....2M even by his lofty standards is showing yet again he is the worlds largest crab

Mebbe so. But he's fulfilling a useful Test role so far.

It's not T20, is it.

true ....but he just had a T20 moment and crashed 2 fours in a row

Dear God, Fulton is a boring tit of a batsman!!

There goes hundred they were speaking about....

NZ sheep are neglected by snoozie insomniacs who prefer to watch 2MP

Jayzus, Fulton is the type of player you didn't bother getting out in my playing days, because you knew his sleepy batting wasn't hurting you.

Mukka on the other hand...

How crap is the over rate? Only 25 minutes to scheduled close, no?

Then again, it's not like umpires do anything about poor over rates nowadays.
