*Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

[Mike5181]

He means the SLPL.

Yeah, obviously.

Which counts for about as much as Rob Nicol's 80 he scored in the hotel lobby after practice was cancelled yesterday.

T20 in Sri Lanka isn't relevant to a T20 game in Sri Lanka? Nice logic there mate. If we picked the team based solely on the T20 world cup there'd be about six players.

 

[Meridio]

Well. I turn on my tv, see that NZ are doing **** AND it's raining AND Danny Morrison is commentating. Could life get any worse etc.

The Waterpolo tournament: AKA New Zealand Tour of Sri Lanka

One of the worst times to have a tour in SL. The whole country is getting heavy rains in November. "Neelam" cyclone has made it worse, with rainfalls getting up to 500mm in last two days.

T20 already washed off. 5 ODIs and two tests to be washed off.

1st ODI gone. This does seem like a scheduling debacle.

I was gonna suggest this thread be stickied, but maybe there's no point.

Will it get better in a week or so? Or is it truely the whole month

 

[Immenso]

Can we send Latham and Milne back to NZ to get some domestic cricket?
What a waste of time.

Neelam is gone now, but the evening showers will continue. This is the inter-monsoonal period of SL. Test matches will be in abetter state. But ODIs I don't want to talk about.

James Franklin is trending in the US of A momentous time for Kiwi cricket.

 

[M0rphin3]

****in Rain. Tipping Kaneh to score big in tests.

 

[straw man]

omfg we have cricket! Malinga all over Nicol in the first over

 

[thierry henry]

Jeez this is an awful looking team on paper. I can't believe Andrew Ellis is still playing international cricket.

 

[straw man]

...and the second over, including dropped catch

 

[thierry henry]

Can't tell if the pitch is doing all sorts or if it's just swing and dire batting

 

[vandem]

Why would you choose to bat when your relative strength is seam bowling (Mills, Southee, Boult), and you have a makeshift top order (no Guptill or BMc) !?

 

[_Ed_]

This is positively swashbuckling.

 

[_Ed_]

Jeez. Latham out for 2 (18). Not one of his best. Just one scoring shot.

Top ball, though.

 

[_Ed_]

Williamson should have gone in at 3 IMO.

Wahey! Boundary.

 

[straw man]

I really hope Latham is gaining something from this. Repeatedly shown in international career to date that it is far far too soon for him.
