Maharoof getting hammered by Styris now, way to go Scotty.

It was considering we are playing the extra seamer instead of the spinner.

Wouldn't that make even more sense to bowl first then and use that extra seamer?

Pig for Prime Minister!!!

Styris and Fulton to put on a century partnership IMO.

Doctrove now gives Styris a let off. That No Ball off Maharoof was really harsh. Even Barry Richards thinks so !

That was my point.

Hey, we've already had Muldoon

 

[Dasgupta]

That was my point.

I didn't spot the sarcasm sorry

Run rate over 3. Now to get it to 4 without losing a wicket before the 20th over and we'll be looking at a proper cricket score.

I would love to see how well Murali bowls today, he has mesmerized the Kiwis a lot of times in the past he might do its again today.



I think the Murali factor was one of the prime reason why Fleming choose to bat first.

 

[Dasgupta]

Anyone else think Fleming's lbw struck him outside the line?

50 Partnership

Bowler ripping up the pitch..

Great start from SL. Kicking myself for not putting money on SL earlier, was meaning to.

no sarcasm, I think you just misread my post, it was a strange decision considering we are playing extra seamer.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

double century partnership ftw

50 Partnership

Another 150 to go

Making up for that Fleming decision Nice one umpire.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Nice pelvic catch there from Kumar.

Thanks Ump

Maharoof and Fernando bowl one on two boundary ball(s) in every over and that could be a real problem for Sri Lanka against good batting teams (especially with Malinga not in the side).


EDIT: Styris had a lucky escape there and Doctrove makes another awful decision.
