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

[Bahnz]

Thats exactly where you want to bowl to Neesham. Sri Lanka have bowled well this session. We're in serious trouble if we don't get to 300.

Nah 250 will keep us well and truly in the game, though even that's looking a way off at the moment.

 

[NZTailender]

**** that was ***y

 

[_Ed_]

Bet365 reckons we'll get to 350 from here. Dunno about that, our tail's good, but not that good.

Still possible, but this partnership is obviously pretty key to that.

 

[NZTailender]

Yes, but he's the best spinner in the world.. and NZ aren't the best players of spin.. surely he should've bowled more than 1 over?

The situations are great for seam bowling and they've picked up 3 wickets in this session. As good as Herath is I think bowling him will initially release some pressure.

I don't want to be in the game, I want to be winning.


God Watling lives for this type of situation.

Matthews arguably releasing more

 

[Zinzan]

Much better bowling by the Lankans this session. Dismissing NZ for less than 250 is a 'non-negotiable' for them.

Even 220 could be a plenty if these condition remains similar and Messrs Southee, Boult & Braces hit the right areas.

Anything over 300 & SL are suddenly under huge psychological pressure.

Difficult to know how much & how quickly this wicket will flatten though. Last year it was a road by day 2 if my memory serves.

I don't think he can do any worse than Angelo is doing...

 

[Prince EWS]

Viriya is never going to argue for Mathews bowling less though.

omg

 

[Maximas]

Our batting really depends on the openers getting off to a decent start and Sanga facing his demons, after number 7 we have absolutely nothing, weakest tail we've fielded since I've been following Sri Lanka IMO, and that's saying something

 

[Maximas]

omg

 

[viriya]

I don't see how NZ is not getting to 250 here.. whether they will get 325-350 is the question.

Get another wicket before 200 and it could absolutely happen

 

[viriya]

That's in ODIs

Also.. he's bowling at <120k... lazy ****er get it to 135k like you can.

 

[Zinzan]

Stranger things have happened in test cricket than the last 5 wickets falling for <75 runs on a green track.

Have they seen this pitch? 350 well above par here.

 

[YorksLanka]

right am off for my beauty sleep as god knows i need it(the beauty that is)..cue four wickets in the next ten mins...laters all

Such as Rutherford making it further than 20 on a green track.
