West Indies tour of NZ

Lowest total ever batting first at this ground. Not a good sign. 177-9.

The moment I remembered this was on I started watching and the BCs lost 31-6. The good news is I have to go to the tip and to Bunnings so will miss watching the Windies bat.

We got this.

Why is Jamieson there..

WI 75 for 6.

Need 103 off 60

52 from 23 needed. 2 wickets in hand. We should nab this.

As I type Jamieson serves a nice pie for Springer to hit for four.

To keep it close?

Neesh bowling. The Windies could get 30 this over if they back themselves

Windiest favourites now

24 off 12 needed

These two can bat. Windies have some really talented players in this form of the game.

Hit that well

Huge six. Shepherd is a darker shade of Lance Cairns.

And the good news is it's either Jamieson or Neesh to bowl the last

Whattacatch!

Jamieson

Holy shit !!!!!! That was some effort. Hit like a missile but he snagged it !

12 needed off the over

Shepherd facing. I have to say this series has gotten me into T20 more. Great fun.

Wide? Lucky

Nah. It's like watching the All Blacks fritter away a lead.

Jamieson dedicating this last over to @Virgil

10 needed from two balls.

Well, we'll take it.

I usually am

Final T20 on now, WI need to win to draw the series. However Duffy and Jamieson are running through them so far, 21/3. Quite a bit of swing about.

And another for Duffy, 3 in the over....

Windies have a strong tail. Still game on

That tail is going to have to wag big time again if they want a chance here. If they can't win this, then just 1 T20 win (their strongest format) would signal a verrrrry long tour for the WI

8 minutes ago... aged like milk.

Long long way back from here for teh windies. It'll take a miracle

They are running out of tail...

They did ok to get to 140…….

But yeah, uphill battle and then some. Conway supporting well with an unbeaten 0 so far.

Gosh the University Oval is a beautiful Cricket ground, possibly on a par with the Basin. Great spot.

41-0. Heaps of overs left. Game over already.

I've had some splendid days at the Basin, sometimes it didn't even rain.

That was absolutely belted. Robinson will make short work of this if they don't get him asap

Agree on the Basin. I've lived in Dunedin.

There's a lot to love, but the weather isn't part of that equation

Having now called both home. The weather is very comparable. Dunedin colder and sunnier over winter. Wellington a bit more consistent for its good period over summer.

This game here was the coldest I have ever been at a cricket game. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/new-zealand-vs-sri-lanka-2024-25-1443537/new-zealand-vs-sri-lanka-1st-odi-1443546/full-scorecard

@SouthernMann I was at that game too! My God it was freezing. There was a very lonely looking bloke operating the ice cream stand.

I gave up at the innings break and swapped the Basin for the Cambridge and a Parma.
