Yep, and by 'big' it needs to be 180-200 big one feels & not 120-130.

Agree... but he's been freaking lucky to date. I think he'd have to rate as one of the luckiest cricketers around recently, tends to be dropped quite regularly, inside edges just missing the stumps, outside edges just dropping short.

Watling is one of those rare players who can almost completely put the drives on the shelf and still score runs (to date).
In other news, listening to the radio commentators try discuss Mark Todd and Charisma is excruciating.
The Trojan horse as the greatest horse of all time was a pretty good call though tbf. Genuinely loled.

Speaking of Todds, remember when Greg Todd nearly toured England? Good times.

He's due a fighting tonne to be honest. If he had the luck Williamson has, sheesh.
I'm wondering how the pacers for Sri Lanka will back up tomorrow - longer spells, windy breezy day... just as I'm saying this Cumming talks about it.

I find it rather amusing how someone who accuses other people of "not watching the match" is using cricinfo as evidence.

Couldn't have done any worse than Marshall.

Nah it was me who accused him of not watching.

If Sky TV had half decent coverage and a website that enabled you to bring up the pitch map, I'd use that. I also don't accuse people of "not watching test cricket" - it's something Hendrix quite often likes to state toward me when I disagree with any of his points that are blatantly wrong.

If we were playing Dhoni's India or Sammy's West Indies atm we'd be home and hosed. They just dropped their intensity once they were resisted, even if they were on top.
Sri Lanka are giving more of a scrap despite having only one world class bowler and a very ho hum pace attack themselves.

Dropping Williamson three times may cost them if Williamson turns this into his new highest score. The conditions are perfect for batting, the bowlers are tired and will be tired tomorrow and he's well set in the best form of his short career. Let's make it count like Lara, Sanga, etc did.

The reason I say it is that you parrot ideas from written words rather than visual evidence e.g.:
- Wagner is a good exponent of reverse
- Boult doesn't get reverse
- Ishant Sharma is good
Etc etc.

Would need to get to 400 to be safe though #Auckland

don't forget to leave them less than 50 overs, because an ODI chase would play right into their hands #commentatorthoughts

I'm missing Danny Morrison.
