3rd Test: Conway Says NZ Aimed To ‘bat Big And Well’ After Whirlwind Innings Against WI
Opener Devon Conway: Devon Conway explained that New Zealand’s plan after opting to bat first in the third Test against the West Indies was clear from the outset, saying that the side aimed to “bat big, bat well, and give our bowlers an opportunity to bowl in the fourth innings”.
After winning the toss, New Zealand chose to bat first, a decision they had not taken in a home Test since 2011. By stumps, the hosts were firmly in control at 334 for 1, with Tom Latham dismissed late in the day for 137 and Conway unbeaten on 178. The opening duo vindicated New Zealand’s bold call to bat first on a green top surface, putting on a commanding 323-run opening stand on Day 1.
Conway said the decision to bat first was made collectively once the team finalised its playing XI. Speaking after the conclusion of Day 1, he said, “Once we made the decision that we were going to go with Jazzy (Ajaz Patel), we decided that we were collectively going to have a bat first,” Conway said. “Mentally, I really knew that we were going to bat. It was a guaranteed bat day because I had a feeling that they would have seen a green wicket, and with the make-up of their bowling attack, they probably wanted to bowl first.”
