Re: West Indies in New Zealand

4th ODI - New Zealand vs West Indies at Eden Park, Auckland

New Zealand scored 4/275 from their 50 overs with debutant Martin Guptill making a century on debut. He is only the 5th player to do so in the history of ODI cricket. He finished on 122 not out with Ross Taylor making 75. Brendon McCullum scored 26 opening the innings and Neil Broom lifted NZ at the death with a quickfire 24 not out and is the other Kiwi on debut.

Lionel Baker was the standout for the Windies, taking 2/29 from ten overs including one maiden. A brilliant effort with the ball there. Fidel Edwards and Daren Powell got a wicket each but proved to be expensive.

In reply, West Indies are 0/36 from seven overs. They started slowly but Chris Gayle has started to tee off and has 32 from 29 balls, Sewnarine Chattergoon is on 3. Last 20 balls has seen Gayle score 31 runs.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

Raining quite hard at the moment, West Indies were 0/47 from 8.4 overs before the rain came. It's been raining for about 30 mins so we'll see a reduction in overs. The rain doesn't look like clearing up anytime soon though.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

Back on the field now. Game will be a 40-over match, the Windies target is now 235 from 40 overs.

0/53 from 9.5 overs, this is sure to be a cracking match. Gayle 35, Chattergoon 17.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

And we're off again. Southee came into the attack and was dispatched for a four and a six before the rain came once more.

0/64 from 10.3 overs, Gayle on 46, Chattergoon 17.

These rain delays can only help the Windies as the target revision won't be as severe due to having all ten wickets in hand. They'd want the rain to stop soon though as they are in a good position to win the match.

Match Abandoned. A shame because this was shaping up to be an excellent encounter.

Four match series is still tied at 1-1. The final game of the series is on Tuesday.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

NZ need to build a stadium with a bloody roof, just about every game is rain affected.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

That's really disappointing.

Sets up game five for a thriller though. The winner of that game will win the series.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

The 5th One Dayer that will decide the series is on today.

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl.

The West Indies are 2/73 off 17 overs. Gayle is on 48 off 53 and Chandepaul is yet to face a ball.

Chattergoon was bowled early by Mills for 1 and Gillespie got Sarwan hooking for 22.

The winner of this match will win the series.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

This is the best partnership i've seen in a long time.

Chanderpaul just reverse swept for 6.

West Indies are 3/243 off 43 overs.

Gayle was just dismissed for 135 off 128 and Chanderpaul is on 81 off 81.

The partnership between Gayle and Chanderpaul was worth 170 runs at 6.45 RPO.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

NZ off to a flyer, only one from the first over but then Daren Powell came onto bowl which was an over of everything. McCullum creamed Powell for three fours and Ryder also made it to the boundary once from the final ball, then add a wide, five wides and a leg-bye into that and it's 23 all up, with 22 coming from Powell directly.

Horrible first over and the run-rate required has already dropped to almost 5.63.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

Geez, that over wasn't much better. Edwards had a good start but has just leaked 16 from his next over, McCullum hitting a six and a four from the last two balls. He's 25 from 8 now!!

0/40 from three overs.

Last two overs,

Code: 
4 1wd 4 . 5wd 4 1lb 4 | 3 2 . 1 6 4
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

Windies have picked up a couple of wickets but the runs keep flowing. Ryder was out for 21 after trying to unsuccessfully hook Daren Powell. Lionel baker continued his good form and got the dangerman McCullum for 41 hitting it straight to Shawn Findlay at mid-wicket.

2/103 from 12 overs. NZ are on Twenty20 pace at the moment, Baker and Pollard need to slow things right down here.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

No, cause he just got out. :p

Guptill out for 43, attempt to cut Pollard but it's too close to him and he edges it through to Ramdin.

3/138 from 19.4 overs. Run rate is great but one of these batters needs to make a score now.

Yeah they need to slow it down and get some stability towards the chase now.
 
Re: West Indies in New Zealand

Powell just removed Flynn and Broom in 2 balls and is now ona hat trick.
