1st Test, Hamilton, West Indies tour of New Zealand

243 - 2 after 78 overs

Opening session lost to Rain ~

Kane 97* Ross Taylor 31* Latham 86

Stumps Day 1.

Misreading of the Pitch with lottsa Grass on the strip ! *sigh*

Win Toss and BAT !

Windies bowling line up needs some variety, more or less it's hard and straight unless there's swing on offer, we probably need a left armer and someone to do a short burst couple of times during the day... like what Mitchell Johnson did for Australia in d ashes or what Archer is doing currently for England

410 for 6

Due to his injury on the first day - Darren Bravo can only bat at 7 today should he be needed.

Kane Williamson's 251 is the highest individual score in almost 200 first-class games at Seddon Park

55 - 3

29.1 Boult to Brathwaite, OUT they've got rid of the glue in this WI line-up. This is unrelenting bowling. This is ever ball being an event.

28.2 Southee to Brooks, OUT, A gorgeous delivery, full in length, close to off stump, demanding that he plays, then snagging the outside edge with ferocious outswing. This is class bowling

26.5 Southee to Campbell, OUT oh he's thrown it away! Southee, smothering Campbell with inswing and then darting one outside off
to see if he fancied a go. He did. And now he's gone.
