New Zealand not helping the West Indies

[Arnik]

Sri Lanka beat them in three days.

Now if West Indies does not win the second test the WI rating actually drops from 90 to 89. Says a lot about the Bangladesh ranking!!

Surely, even Afro has to acknowledge now that the Kiwis are a weak team....

Sri Lanka actually did better than the Windies since they won by 10 wickets.

The West Indies could only manage to win by 9 wickets.

I am not looking for help for the Windies.

If they are to move up in the period outlined by Gibson then they need all the help they can get.

I suspect that being a very busy man Gibson did not have time to check whether WI moving up in that time frame was a reasonable prospect.

Weak? Even WI whitewash them.

Dang, I was hoping NZ pulled the Lankans close to us

[mikesiva]

When it comes to playing spin, NZ batsmen are even worse than Bangla and WI batsmen....

Only Zimbabwe batsmen are worse than them, among Test-playing nations.

New Zealand attempt to help the West Indies again in the second test starting tonight.

[Arnik]

New Zealand trying hard to bring Sri Lanka closer to the Windies.

If only WI had not agreed to drop the tests they might have had a real possibility of moving to #6.
