The lack of focus is shocking.


You could call for a few of the batsmen missing from this game to come in instead but the result would be the same...just like moving deck chairs around on the Titanic.


They are, as a group, lacking between the ears as much as any batting line up I have ever seen at test level.


Radical change is required and it needs to start at the very top. Pitches and the first class structure, especially A team cricket development, MUST be made paramount focus or this rot will continue for years.

42.2

Jacob Duffy to Justin Greaves, out Caught by Mitchell!! Another one for Duffy! It's Greaves who has to go this time. Hard length around off, nips away as he hangs back in defence and takes the edge. It dies on Mitchell at first slip and he does so well to get his fingers underneath that. Greaves gone for a duck and West Indies are sinking fast.

Finally, Roston Chase pads up and walks out to face the music.


Frankly, unless he saves the match from this position, it should be his last appearance in a test match.

Duffy, by the way, just took his 20th wicket of the series. For those that did not know beforehand, Duffy is a back up bowler, only playing due to injuries to New Zealand's usual seamers.

Jamieson, Henry, O'Rourke...must be cursing their luck at missing out...
