According to Accuweather, tomorrow is going to be very pleasant in Hamilton.
There has been some uneven bounce on the pitch, but it looks good for batting as long as the West Indies apply themselves. A shame Hatmyer was out to a tame dismissal when his batting tomorrow morning could be very handy. Hatmyer certainly looks the part in international cricket and has potential to very far the more matches he plays.
Again the West Indies keep on bowling no balls, which occured to me that this may well be a contributing reason why they can't bowl their full allocation on time. Is the captain really at fault on this instance?
I actually believe the West Indies are an opener and a middle order batsman short of being a very competitive side. After Chase the lower order batting looks brittle. I suppose the key difference in this test match is Boult and Southee's later order cameo, otherwise a 330 1st innings total would not as daunting for the West Indies to get back within parity.
