West Indies tour of NZ

It seems we've actually got play in Napier! 34 overs a side. Windies 86/4 through 15 overs.

I love a good game of 34/34

Doesn’t take up as much time as an ODI but more depth than a T20. I think it will be a popular format.

Intriguing stuff. Windies 146/6.

Henry and Jamieson excellent ( the latter with two wickets )

Smith 3-37 off five.......

Tickner decided to open a pie shop conceding 44 ?!?!?! from four.

Hope has a Kohli like record, average over 50, hes on 59. WIll be key to them getting a good total.

That is a very optimistic review

Hope will smash his way to a ton this over. Has really lifted his scoring rate.

Tickner is starring for the West Indies with the ball and in the field.

Windies are flying now, going to need a decent effort to chase this one down.

Some beach cricket fielding there.

He has been bloody good fun to watch. Finding some great gaps in the field.

And there is his 100. One of the best ODI innings I have seen in a long time

It really was. Helped by some pies but still a great effort.

Big chase needed here

What's that thing on the umpire's arm?

I think it’s a shield. Seriously.

Early days but these two are scoring too slowly

I'm enjoying Wags as a commentator.

We've set a nice platform, hope we start to turn up the pace now. Conway looks to be going after everything but can't get hold of anything.

That's a pretty shithouse review.

So 10 rrpo in my helpful recalculation of runs per ball ..

Bugger. Conway out

82 off 51.

4 down.

Latham and now Bracewell at the wicket.

We'll take the top edge 4.

9.6 rrpo

Losing the set batsman now is pretty significant. 9-10 an over not too hard if Conway is there - a lot more tricky with new batsmen - and the quality starts to decline after Santner.

Winnable, but advantage Windies right now.
