***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

[Athlai]

Wonderful stuff. Being brutal at home is what we need to do to climb the rankings.

 

[Blocky]

Enforcing the follow on.

 

[Zinzan]

The irony is Neesham's action reminds me of one of the most accurate bowlers of all time in Shaun Pollock.

Jesus, anyone nervous looking at the scores in Ford Trophy as to what's going to happen during the world cup? One side with 400, the other was 355 and another was 385.

I suspect they're all atrocious roads like last last season. And the 400 was at the smallest ground in the world with a Jamie How that felt like hitting 14 6s.

 

[Hurricane]

What ridiculous batting by the tailenders no wonder why poor Angelo had to throw his bat at it. Surely he has to go up the order.

Pity he only ever felt like that once for NZ.

McCullum needs 112* to get his average up to forty. Quite incredible when you consider how long he was in the mid thirties.

Think someone said it was 35.12 at the start of 2014. Pretty amazing to lift that by 5 runs in a year after playing 90 tests.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wow that's some collapse.

 

[viriya]

Possibility that this match ends within the day here..

 

[Blocky]

Nah. Not going to end today. I think Sanga will make a pretty good tonne - I actually question us enforcing the follow on while it was fresh in their minds how we were attacking them.

 

[Athlai]

No wicket in 3 overs? Try swap the ball Baz.

 

[Hurricane]

No wicket in 3 overs? Try swap the ball Baz.

It doesn't work when he asks I have noticed. It needs to be Trent Boult because he has the kid next door look to him.

 

[Hurricane]

Boult not asking enough questions.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Wags gonna be the most useful in this innings I think.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, bowling some real pies in this spell. New Zealand can't afford to let the intensity slip, but right now they're not coping with the rh/lh combination at all.

 

[Hurricane]

This over it happens or it will be a long couple of days.

 

[Athlai]

The worse Boult bowls the better Southee gets IMO.

Southee

 

[Burgey]

Still think my idea of a neutral test series between India and SL in Australia and NZ has merits, just for the sheer lols.

 

[Athlai]

Old iron grip Wagner will get the ball out of shape. Good thinking Baz. We'll have a new ball in no time.

 

[Bahnz]

They're bowling at the wrong batsman atm. McCullum should offer an easy single to get Southee bowling at the right hander.
