Well done! Good cricket!

It is a shame this series has only two tests.


Also, it puts some value on NZ. After all, Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka is a tough test.

 

[Daemon]

Damn it

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Oh man this feels good. So good.

I love test cricket. Love it.

We tore a Sri Lankan batting line up containing Dilshan, Sanga, Mahela, Samaramaramaraweera and Mathews to pieces on a complete road. Twice.

Such a good feeling. This is a much more complete and credible victory than Hobart.

 

[Days of Grace]

LOL at the final shot by Matthews.

They only had to survive another half hour before the bad light IMO.

 

[Prince EWS]

Didn't have a cent on this game and I'm still absolutely stoked at the result. You blokes really suck me in.

 

[Days of Grace]

Oh man this feels good. So good.

I love test cricket. Love it.

Better than ***.

 

[Grasshopper]

Well that was worth staying up for!

 

[Howsie]

Whooooooooooooooooppppppppp.

Wow, that is such a relief. Well played New Zealand. Great catching by Williamson in particular and excellent final spell from Boult. NZ's test stocks should rise with him, Bracewell & Southee hunting as a pack. Happy for Taylor after he showed real maturity and patience with the bat and lead from the front.

 

[centurymaker]

yay victory at last.

boult wag

 

[Hurricane]

Well done Ross Taylor. 140 in the first dig. 74 in the second. Without both knocks we were in trouble. He manned up.

 

[Mike5181]

Finally!

 

[BackFootPunch]

Yesssssss. Well done boys. Williamson is a God in the gully.

With Boult, Southee and Bracewell bowling this well it better not be another year until our next proper win!

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Not an ounce of fluke in this. not ****ing one. Feels so sweet.

 

[Days of Grace]

Yesssssss. Well done boys. Williamson is a God in the gully.

With Boult, Southee and Bracewell bowling this well it better not be another year until our next proper win!

That's entirely up to the batsmen.

I actually see us as West Indies circa 1998-2000. Quality new ball lineup will always keep us in the game but we will probably still be prone to a massive collapse for a while yet.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

It's 3:24 a.m. here.

I'm not going to be able to sleep any time soon after that.

 

[Briony]

Good stuff Kiwis.

The bowlers will probably also do well in SA conditions next month.

 

[Zinzan]

Brillant performance NZ! So good to see us managing to bowl sides out in the 4th innings. Bulawayo, Hobart and now here in Colombo. Something the attack led by Vettori and Martin so rarely managed.
