* Makes no sense

* Why try to protect Edwards ?

* Maybe Edwards is afraid to come to the wicket.

* If a wicket goes now----he'll have to come.

QUESTION:

* Can West Indies overtake NZ's first innings score of 221 ?

* They will need a miracle---but miracles do occur.

Rev

DAY 2 WILL BE PIVOTAL

* West Indies batsmen will either prosper or perish.

* Which will it be ?

Rev

For WI to have any chance, they have to bat the whole day.

* The last test the WI played at the Queens park Oval they scored 257 in their first innings against Australia.

* Shiv scored 94 and Deonarine 55.

* But this wicket is certainly NZ bowler friendly and the woeful windies may struggle to score 150.

Rev

well i am hoping for a lead

* By lunch today you'll be able to guage whether a lead is possible.

* Boult and Southee looked dangerous last night---Gayle was bowled down like a dunce.

15.3  Craig to Edwards, SIX, Craig gives it some flight on this full delivery, Edwards explodes into swift action, he takes it from outside off and slams it high over the long on boundary
