“Bouncing off Guptill, New Zealand amassed 6/393, furthering the West Indies' recent record of quantum toothlessness.”

“The restless disposition of the crowd seemed to say that if they had wanted to see dots, they would have gone to an Australian aboriginal art show.”

“The Kiwis' blows were the whipcracks of the rampant. The Windies' were the flailings of the doomed.”
