The later dismissal of fellow opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul was reward for a tight line and length from a whippy action.<\/p>\n
His deliveries appear to come on quicker than you initially suspect, and look like they might leave recipients needing Popeye forearms to combat a vibrating splice.<\/p>\n
Foulkes performed, not only for the Black Caps, but also for a contingent of family and friends visiting from the Darfield club in the Canterbury country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think you\u2019d coach my action,\u201d he said pre-test.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot going on. It\u2019s hardly out of the manual, but it\u2019s working for me, so long may that continue.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing fast bowlers, we know there will be injuries and we need to build depth.\u201d<\/p>\n
That will face a rigorous examination tomorrow as the West Indies chip away at their target of 531.<\/p>\n
Duffy brought less whip and more muscle through the crease, even going so far as to describe himself with tongue wedged in cheek as \u201cThe Enforcer\u201d after the second day.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old has a build that looks capable of carrying a hogget from the Southland back country under each arm. He has bullocked in with purpose, notably bringing a mop for the West Indies first-innings tail while everyone else foraged for woollen pullovers after the last rain delay on the second day.<\/p>\n
That included four wickets for two runs from 16 balls amid best figures of five for 34 from 17.4 overs. He also dismissed both openers in the West Indies\u2019 second innings, without creating further inroads.<\/p>\n
Duffy made his first-class debut in 2012, so the rarity of a second test resonates among what is now 110 games in total.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a point in time where I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d be playing any test cricket,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cJacob from a few years ago would be pretty chuffed. Especially with the amount of pride we put into the red-ball game through things like the capping ceremonies.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been on a lot of tours and seen what it means to the guys. To add value to the group is a special feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The later dismissal of fellow opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul was reward for a tight line and length from a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[107439,20251,7022,42574,107887,2082,109784,107438,28523,54173,5971,111,43,139,69,1532,15400,14446,61,810,8982,3807,109783],"class_list":{"0":"post-169237","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-zealand","8":"tag-alderson","9":"tag-andrew","10":"tag-black","11":"tag-caps","12":"tag-duffy","13":"tag-for","14":"tag-foulkes","15":"tag-hagley","16":"tag-indies","17":"tag-jacob","18":"tag-need","19":"tag-new-zealand","20":"tag-news","21":"tag-newzealand","22":"tag-nz","23":"tag-oval","24":"tag-push","25":"tag-stand","26":"tag-to","27":"tag-up","28":"tag-victory","29":"tag-west","30":"tag-zak"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
