West Indies tour to New Zealand, 2013. Test 2, Day 3.

New Zealand won the match by an Innings and 73 runs.

New Zealand 441 runs/10 wickets – 1st Innings
West Indies 193 runs/10 wickets 1st Innings
West Indies 175 runs/10 wickets(follow-on) 2nd  Innings

      The 3rd day of the 2nd Test match between New Zealand and West Indies proved to be horrible one for the visitors as they were bowled out Twice on the same day. The Kiwi pacer, Trent Boult proved to be the destructor as he got 10 wickets in a single match which proved to be his maiden 10 wicket haul.
      The day started with Marlon Samuels(50* runs) and Narsingh Deonarine(11* runs) on the crease but all of a sudden Trent Boult started to make his mark all over the place as he got rid of Narsingh Deonarine(22 runs) followed by the key wicket of Marlon Samuels who could only reach to a total of 60 runs.
             This marked the end of the Windies as the wickets started to rattle down. None of the batsmen except Dinesh Ramdin(12* runs) could get off the mark including the skipper Darren Sammy and went out for a Duck. Interestingly all the upcoming batsmen were Bowled Out. Trent Boult bowled out Darren Sammy(0 runs), Shane Shillingford(0 runs) and Tino Best(0 runs) while Tim Southee had the last laugh by dismissing Shannon Gabriel(0 runs). This sealed up the Windies at a total of 193 runs and once again the Visitors were forced to Follow-on but the Black Caps were in no mode of creating a mess of it once again.
            
The West Indies again started firmly as Kirk Edwards and Keiron Powell put together 74 runs. Compared to the total what they had to put together, a relatively smaller stand ended by the departure of Keiron Powell(35 runs) due to a brute from Tim Southee as he knocked the stumps over. The very next over produced the wicket of Darren Bravo who went back for a Duck. He was caught at slip on the delivery of Neil Wagner. The Windies camp started to tremble again as the next over brought the wicket of Kirk Edwards(36 runs). This time it was Tim Southee again who got his wicket a brilliant catch from Kane Williamson off Tim Southee. Now the wickets started to come on regular intervals as Marlon Samuels(12 runs) was dismissed soon. Tim Southee was the man again to do so. This marked the fall of the visitors.
      Darren Sammy again went for a Duck. Little resistances were shown by Narsingh Deonarine(12 runs) , Dinesh Ramidn(19 runs), Shannon Gabriel(21 runs) and Shivnarine Chanderpaul(31* runs) but Trent Boult again dismissed 4 of them while Corey Anderson and Neil Wagner provided some help too. This ended the innings of the visitors and the Black Caps won the match easily in the end by an INNINGS AND 73 runs.

     Man of the Match was awarded to Trent Boult for his 10 wickets in 1 match. Still 1 Test to come. Let’s see if the sea Masters can square the series or the visitors maintain the dominance........
