Cricket: Windies regain edge for Napier - chairman - 12-27-2013
Assessing the mood of a team on the strength of one game is a stretch.
Yet the West Indies, on the basis of their two-wicket win which began the five-game rubber against New Zealand at Eden Park on Thursday, put a nice edge into what lies ahead, beginning tomorrow at McLean Park.
Having been drubbed in back-to-back tests, the West Indies badly needed a rousing start, and got it, courtesy of fine new ball bowling in helpful conditions, energetic fielding and bold hitting by Darren Sammy to carry his team home in a game of low-quality batting from both teams.
