*Official* Double Match Day - NZ v Sri Lanka (27th Sept)

[kingkallis]

If these 2 stick togather for another 6-7 overs then NZ can fancy their chance to get to 275+

 

[Athlai]

When we have lost the toss and been put into bat our top scores since 2005 are:
324/6 vs. WI
275/4 vs. WI
274/7 vs. Pak
266/5 vs. Eng
248/6 vs. SA
243/9 vs. SA
234/9 vs. Eng
233 vs. Australia

Newzealand are 5 down now, i thought they were going to score 300
but now it's impossible i think

Not impossible, depends on who bowls really. Getting just over 100 in the last 15 overs is nothing particularly with a batting powerplay. The range of scores is very big from here. NZ could get bundled out for 220 or get 310-6.

I'm still disgusted by the collapse, but this partnership isn't the worst - 33 at a run a ball.

no when i posted it was 161-5 that's why i said, but now it is looking good for newzealand
if newzealand beat Srilanks, then Eng & Newzealand have a chance of reaching semi's

Too right, really depends on how the next two partnerships go, if they can last till the 48th or so over then we could still think about passing 300.

Some quite sloppy fielding today by SL.

 

[Athlai]

Still a very good chance of getting one of our highest scores in SA.
287 is the score to beat.

And it was on this ground that we beat SA in the World Cup, wasn't it? Good memories.

Thanks to Ryder, New Zealand are still in a very, very strong position here.

Not as strong as you are suggesting, considering who is still to come in both batting and the bowling departments.

I really want keeper cam - that would way of viewing the lines a bowler if bowling.

 

[Blakey]

Also - what happened with Ryder? Why was he in pain?

Seems like he pulled a groin muscle

 

[Pratters]

The more I see Guptill, the more I am assured that he is an international class batsman.

 

[_Ed_]

Disappointing end to a good innings.

 

[Meridio]

Oh, **** it!! That is such an absurdly stupid way to get.

I think it's the strongest bowling attack we've had in an ODI in a long time.

 

[DIRK-NANNES]

Sir James of Franklin to lead us to victory
Hopefully he can pull off what Johnson did the other night

 

[straw man]

Damn, but well done to Vettori. And Guptill for reining himself in.

Given what happened last time we were 6 down I'm not going to relax until we get 250 at least. Yes Franklin is a lot better than Hopkins but it can't be easy flying halfway across the world to fill in.
