West Indies tour of NZ

Bracewell underwhelms me

Yeah I think he gets too much credit for a couple of freak innings. Nowhere near good enough to be picked as an occasional bowler.

Looked a pretty clear wide to Latham to me.

Satnav into orbit

Windies serving up a steady diet of jerk chicken pies right now

Santner 30 off 10. We’re home and hosed now

Windies trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Let's help them

@MN5 A wicket now will make it very interesting.

Mitch that was sick

Never in doubt

No ball four kills the Windies.

After so many years of commentators wanking on about how big a hitter Santner was, and then having to watch him nurdle his way to 11 off 17 or something daft, he's finally living up to the billing this summer.

He's generally been mustard since his MOTS in India

Stage is set for Bracewell to be the hero in a chase again.

Not Braces, but Santna Claus

Santner is a hell of a cricketer - he does it all.

He's pretty decent for a skinny fella that's for sure.

I was watching and thinking the same thing.

Got plenty of mockery, but delivering on the promise now.

Santner hitting sixes for fun these days.

Both sets of pace bowlers all over the shop with their lengths at the end of each innings.

Amazing effort. I knew he was there and there abouts but to get the absolute top ranking is incredible.

When you consider none of Crowe, Taylor or KW ever made it that makes it even more special. All three of them have had moments in the past where I thought they would have been there.......

Such a valuable member of the team, his "steady the ship" qualities are a massive asset ( also ranked 8th in the most important format )
