373 feels a middling score, but probably looks intimidating to the WI bats.

Hetmyer goes. But 28 from a WI number three is a bit of a result.

West Indies struggling to save this test as well. 112/4 and still trailing by 257 runs.

Sunil Ambris dismissed twice hit wicket in 3 innings. These WI batters lack the technique. It is understandable that one or two are technically incorrect, but here in this team it's reverse. No wonder they fail to put on mammoth scores.

New Zealand four prong pace attack took two wickets each to reduce the west indies to 215-8 at stumps. Kraigg scored 66 but there was not much else to talk about.

Any chance of Bravo (jr) returning Mike?

Had a dream yesterday regarding scorecard of NZ in second innings. Jeet Raval scored 60 odd.

Boult wrapped up the innings pretty quickly. 221 all out.

The crowd at Hampton looks as poor as test cricket in the Caribbean.

Lil bravo has signed up for the PSL t20s in February so he is unlikely to play test cricket against Bangladesh.

The folly of playing a batting all rounder such as Reifer at eight was exposed yesterday when Roach pulled up injured after six overs leaving us waiting for the declaration. Taylor hit 107 not out and kane Williamson 54 to propel new Zealand to 291-8 declared. Cummins took 3-69.

Whitewash almost certain. Might end up tomorrow itself.

Certainly looks like an easy victory coming for NZ. Whats the weather up to Mike?
