*Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

[Flem274*]

woohoo this might just happen guys and girls

 

[Hurricane]

Wicket time. The less wickets we need with the new ball the better.

Need Mathews to really get amongst them.

 

[Flem274*]

lol 141kph all of a sudden

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Who even needs the new ball? Reverse is the way mon.

 

[Flem274*]

I hope Mathews gets 50. Such a good batsman.

 

[Zinzan]

am i the only person who thinks he didn't hit that?

Yup, I think we managed to prank Llong into that one. It was a weird one though, I thought I heard something when they just replayed it at full speed again but saw nothing on the slow-mo earlier. Would likely have been reversed if they had DRS.

Reverse jinx IMO.

I hope he tastles it soon.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Well he walked didn't he?

I'm sure the batsman himself is the best judge of whether he actually hit the ball or not.

Yeah I agree. The more I see it the less I believe it was out. As Russel Arnold points out Taylor didn't really think it was out either. Pretty sure the combo of Astle's love for appealing and Kruger wanting to shout about anything that beats the bat tricked the ump.

Lot of guts in that fifty from Mathews. Sadly for him it might come to nothing, given what has happened at the other end. #slvnz


Phlegm's favourite journo tastling it hard.

 

[Zinzan]

Mathews is a proper cricketer alright. Seems to have a game for all conditions & I expect big things from him in Australia.

So Taylor wins a test in Aus after 18 years now on verge on winning one in sub cont after 14. Fleming who?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Sri Lanka '98, I believe.

haven't won yet.

need kula on strike for an entire over for a start.

 

[straw man]

Reckon Bracewell should try bowl outswing in the channel here instead of inswing, if he can.

and neither matches had Vettori itstl.

 

[Zinzan]

Hmm, did I detect a little reverse in that last over from Braces with the ball 72 overs old?
