The only criticism that can be levelled at him at this stage, justifiably imo. Brilliant batsman.

I was gutted... he started to flay the new ball then did something as stupid (or selfish) as smashing the last ball to the boundary. I mean, a new cherry - who leaves the #11 with a full over? ~~Knobhead~~ Koala Snr in search of redinkus.

Goo on Jerome! Two early wickets. NZ 29/4....

Has the featherbed suddenly turned into a minefield??!! Snoozies struggle to 156 for 8 to set the Ganjas 400 and they are wallowing at 3-39. Shocked

54-5. Oh dear.

FMD. WI 9-190 after being 9-134. How very demoralising for their supporters.

This sort of thing is becoming increasingly common... one of these days someone's going to try a tail-end pinch-hitter up the order in Test cricket to try and change the momentum of an innings. Instead of sending number 6 in at fark all for 4, or a conventional nightwatchman, just tell 9, 10 or jack to come in and swing the bat.

Fastest 50 by a WI player from Shillingford, beating all their past batting legends Laughing

10th number 11 to top score in a Test innings, half of them within the last decade, but the first West Indian to achieve this feat.

Well done NZ anyway. Best aggregate match figures on debut for the country from Mark Craig I believe.

Must've been a long last session.

Well done to the Snoozies.

Benn, Samuels and Shillingford ... first instance of 3 chuckers being selected in the same team?

Abject...

Benn? Ragged, but I've not noticed him chucking. Maybe says more about my observation, mind...

Narine's action is definitely dodgy though.

by lardbucket Thu 12 Jun 2014, 05:45

Haven't seen Narine at all.

Benn's a pinger - not as bad as Samuels or Shillingford, but that's not saying much.

by Brass Monkey Thu 12 Jun 2014, 07:46

I thought Benn was a grenade thrower, not an actual thrower.
