308 runs : Winning on a Declaration

Overnight ??

Okay Folks , they did !

Can we Win on THEIR  declaration ..

a reverse Garry Sobers circa late 60s ??  :-\

They won't  declare

why shud they declare....hey are not fools.  one can never dismiss west indian potential to sooprise.  and the Kiwi will not allow themselves to be sooprised here.

they will bat out at least 10-20 overs 70-80 for the day..enough time for west indies to commit suicide.  if the west indies are going to lose they will collapse like always

that at any rate is what I would do.  a drawn series is cool.  they beat west west indies last time so they have the pips.

they are not playing to loose like the west indies are.  if they cant win they will do their best not to loose.  that is not how west indies organize our cricket.  we organize prone to do shiiity things..which is what we have done in this game so the odds say we will loose

* With the dangerous and explosive Christopher Onry Gayle in the West Indies team, there is no way the Kiwis will declare with a lead of 307.

* They saw how Onry savaged their bowling in Trinidad---80* in only 46 balls.

* So the Kiwis will play it safe and add another fifty runs---hopefully in the first hour.

* The WI will then have to chase 357----a highly improbable task in 2 1/2 sessions.


HERE'S THE DEAL

* If the Kiwis declare overnight---WI will go for the win----they'll play some reckless shots---and lose the match.

* If the Kiwis declare after an hour----the West Indies will draw the test.

They too will be looking for a draw here.it all depends how the first hour turns out to be.WI will surely look for a draw they wouldn't risk this.I highly doubt a WI win,300 odd in under 3 sessions is close to impossible.
I am rooting for a draw..
