Pretty typical NZ deck over their last couple of home tests. Interesting to see them with a new keeper. I always rated Watling, is he injured or has he been dropped?

He's injured, has been for a while, that's why Latham took the gloves in the previous ODI series

Na Watling isn't in the frame for ODI's. After Ronchi they've gone for Latham while the blood a young keeper.

Can WIndies lost their Test status?

I watched quite a bit of this last night/early this morning. I thought Wagner bowled well but Windies batting was pretty dire. I though England's tail enders played the short ball poorly but the Windies top order was something else. Windies came back well with the ball. Holder bowled with control. Patel looked pretty solid (a poor man's Pujara) and Latham was going well before he played a rubbish short to ironically a short ball from Holder.

Can't say I'll probably follow this too much with the Aus-Eng and SL-Ind matches beginning tomorrow early.

Imagine your test debut and your first ball is a hit wicket. Sad!

I didn't see it, what actually happened?

In my mind I'm picturing a short ball hitting the batsman and a stick cricket esque collapse onto the stumps...  :D

Doesn't help when you have a big trigger move backwards.
Lovely day in Wellington.

Was pretty interesting to watch Wagner bowl, picking 6 of 7 wickets off the short ball. Disappointed at Kane's wicket, was hoping he would make a double century or something at 80+ S.R.

About time West Indies showed some fight. A lot gets made of the green pitches in New Zealand but they make for fantastic cricket. They flatten out nicely and get easier to bat on from day 3 onwards

Good fightback from WI, but NZ are way far ahead in the game at this point.

Watching this live at the moment and love hearing Trent Bolt batting in the stump microphone. “Wow slower ball” “ohhh bouncy”
“Slower ball Trent” as he is smashing Gabriel all over the place.

Got to feel for the West Indian player - 2nd hit wicket in the series

Not really. His trigger is a huge step backward. Poor technique in my view.

Sunil ambris, heading home with a broken arm after being out hit wicket twice in two games

First ever player to be out hit wicket in successive tests

Certainly a bizzare test career so far!

Feel sorry for that guy. Hope he comes back stronger.

Why don’t players wear arm guards any more? Why has it become so unfashionable

Colin Munro gave it some serious welly in the second T20, 66 off 23 balls - an eye watering strike rate 286. Got to admit I thought he was pants when he first turned out for New Zealand, but he's turned himself into a beast in t20 cricket. May well get a mega ipl deal the way he's going

Some still do.. Trent bout I believe, maybe tim southee.. klinger..

I’d imagine it’s basiclaly because there is less threat in the modern game

Munro at it again, blasts 104 against the West Indies. First man to score three T20i hundreds. All within the space of a year. He's bossing the T20 arena.

Colin Munro, Chris Lynn and Evin Lewis could become the latest IPL millionaires

Definitely. Added to the fact that all 3 should all be available for the entirety of the tournament.

I'm curious to see how RR and CSK go about the auction. RR seem have very few players available to them from the 2015 side as compared to Chennai. It will also be interesting to what Smith does with this IPL. Long home summer against England, then 4 tests away in South Africa right before the IPL. Then he's straight off to England for ODI's and T20's so it could he a hectic 9 months for him.

Lynn will be retained by KKR so there won't be an auction for him.

Will be interesting to see what Munro goes for considering he isn't that 'well known' and that marketable player

You're right, he's not that marketable, but he has been part of the MI and KKR franchises already and now has a T20I hundred in India against India. Both Munro and Lewis went unsold at 50 lakhs last auction I think, but I'm expecting at least 2-3 crores for Munro this year. Would be nice to see him at DD who need some top-order runs.

Think that was the 2016 season. But he certainly didn't get sold in the auction for the 2017 season.
