First Test at Dunedin
WI v NZ, 1st Test, Dunedin: Rain ensures draw in Dunedin
Dec 15, 2008
The first Test between New Zealand and the West Indies has ended in a predictable draw after the final day was abandoned because of rain in Dunedin.
Weather has hampered the match from day one when bad light forced the players from the field early and they did not return again until midway through day three after heavy rain the previous day.
Only one full day's play has been possible at University Oval, the highlight of which was Jerome Taylor's maiden Test century on Sunday which helped the West Indies to 340 all out in reply to New Zealand's first inning total of 365. The hosts were set to resume on 44 for two in their second innings, a lead of 69 runs, with Tim McIntosh on 24 and Daniel Flynn on four. But the weather had the final say on Monday with play called off without a ball being bowled.
The teams now head to McLean Park in Napier for the final Test which is due to start on Friday.
