3rd Test: West Indies v New Zealand at Bridgetown

How the eff did NZ end up in this situation? I had to go when Williamson and Taylor were looking solid. Then when I checked scores bam, 293 AO. WTF Kiwis?

Hard to believe that a guy who actually played well got dropped. Why fix if it ain't broke anyway? I would have dropped Shilly if needed. Surely not Blackwood, that too after a good debut.

Blackwood provided some valuable runs last match.we have Benn,Holder, Talyor, Roach and a few overs from Gayle. That was all we needed in the 2nd test. It worked so well.Why do we have to change the winning formula then..and it makes no sense trying to fix something that ain't broken?

RE: CHRISTOPHER ONRY GAYLE

* Onry is playing in his 12th test at Kensington.

* He has never scored a hundred at Kensington.

* So let's all root for Christopher Onry to score his first hundred at Kensington.

* Onry has 3 hundreds against NZ.

* Check them out: 204, 197 and 150.

* HUGE!

* So if Onry scores a hundred---it will be a big one. ;D

no Holder!  Holder is no ready!  they are forcing him! 

that was clearly demonstrated yesterday:  HOLDER IS NOT READY!

Gibson and dem close to the situation.  they more than anybody can see the difference between Gabe and Holder.  yesterday we all saw it clearly.  the reason that Jason Holder has appeared to back track since he was 19 and included is that HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. 

HE DID NOT BACK TRACK AT ALL...HE IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

The overall consensus is that the pitch will be flattening out today and tomorrow

The pitch report says the cracks have begun to open

"I know on the first day in Barbados you always get a bit of assistance, because of the moisture in the pitch. It spun in the evening as well. Normally it does a bit first day, and rest of the days it flattens out," said Benn.

"You get a little bit, obviously when the balls get older it tends to be good for batting. Kensington Oval always has bounce for spinners. So you want to get the ball into good areas. A little bit of turn also, so that was good."
