West Indies tour of NZ

@Cyclops Was it Taylor I remember grabbing a couple against them in 2016 if my patchy memory serves me correctly.

Good to see Latham back in the runs too. How often has an NZ batter got 2 tons in a series?

33 if the filter has been set up correctly - this being the 33rd time.

Only watched the highlights so I don't know how difficult it was to bat on that green deck early on. But it played like a road for the most part and we went to town. Are we going to be able to bowl the Windies out on this road?

I think I getting old (well I know lol), but I genuinely enjoyed watching the test yesterday, and seeing batsman slowly building an innings, and just ignoring balls they didn't to play.
Something pretty relaxing watching test cricket, and seeing that. Mind you I admit, I not glued to screen, just watch for 30 mins or so at time.

Sadly Duffy fell 183 runs short of a much deserved double century.

Conway looking comfortable from the get go ( I don't think you can jinx a guy on 190 so I'm happy to say that )

This one innings has got the average up very nicely, just 1.40 runs behind the much vaunted Mitch Jr now. Overall pretty similar really. Conway 2395 runs in 32 tests at 42.79, Mitch 2164 runs in 35 tests at 44.16. Conway 59 innings, Mitch 54.

The fern wasn't around when Crowe was playing.

still remember it and the tv commentator curse

It was a bugger. The gap between triple centuries in tests went from 1974 to 1990. Fair to say its tough to get them.

👍 Conway to 200. Well done that man! 👍

double hundy for Conway. Super stuff.

May as well have a crack at a triple, he has time.

He could get there before tea if things go his way. We're only a day and half a session into the match remember !

35 double centuries by NZers, but only 15 above 225.

Devon with a chance to enter rarified territory.

I think we should be looking to declare about an hour after tea, having scored around 600.
