*Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

We've got this test in the bag lads. Bracewell will hit his stride, Boult and Southee will continue and Jeets will do ok, and the batsmen will turn up. We're about due a Guptill 74 and a Franklin 53, Baz always manages to average 40 in a test (usually with two 40s), Taylor is due a ton and Flynn looks the goods. Kruger will add one of his 30s down the order and we're looking at 700/7 declared with a Boult special with the bat. Herath will injure himself in the first innings.
New Zealand by an innings. I believe!

Lies. Boult and Bracewell will just take all the wickets. 5/10 each, in both innings. B&B will take over from W&W as the greatest fast bowling duo who are a play on the alphabet at the same time, as they should because B comes before W and even the word alphabet starts with an A.

not if you rely on there not being much cricket on and the same time (copyright phlegm**** 2012) to find a place to watch it. Frankly depressing being below Bang/WI in the priorities

Nah, don't mind the selection, tbh.
Franklin just hasn't been at the races. Must infuriate the coaching staff if he is blasting it in the nets and bowling at 135km/h + but becomes a limp dick on the playing field.

TBF your bowlers are better batsmen then your actual batsmen half the time.

Can't argue with you there.

Not unhappy that Astle debuting in place of Franklin. In some ways Franklin deserved one last chance but he also was just so poor with the bat last match. Astle legspin should be interesting.
