Taylor to Craig, 2 runs, Whoa! Craig has got a fifty! An overthrow gives him a bonus run.

He is making his presence felt, really rubbing it in

Taylor to Watling,  Watling pushes it softly past wide mid-on to bring his half-century now..

Monumental effort considering the game situation  8)

Look at the determination of BJ :

muddied clothes , scrape up elbows ..

BUT dogged in his approach to this Great Game !

Roach to Craig, OUT, there it is! at long last, no-footwork batting of Craig costs him :

end of a 99-run stand that was getting the West Indians antsy  >

148.2
Gabriel to Watling,  on the pads, he flicks it easily to fine leg but doesn't take the single.

He is on 199 deliveries  ::LOL::

Superb innings from BJ Watling, playing more than 200 deliveries.

It might still not be enough to save the Test for New Zealand :

but BJ is putting together a series of fighting innings just when his team needs it.  8)

"BJ is fast becoming my favourite cricketer, actually.

His strength of character and his fighting qualities.

The guy never complains, gets on with the job :

goes out there and keeps for a hundred-and-something overs

and goes out and bats for seven hours

trying to save a Test match for his country.

"It's not the first time he's done it.

He's done it on numerous occasions now and he's certainly a guy who's becoming a

strong leader within the group as well. He's doing that through his actions and leading by

example and that's a really good sign because we're still a young team,

so we need as many leaders within the group as possible."
