[Flem274*]

We need SL to cop the full brunt of the #EngineRoom when this partnership is broken. Craig, this is your time.

Bugger off Prasad

**** I'd love a Prasad wonder spell here, would really make my day

Cricinfo: "No sense of urgency from the Sri Lankans. Look like they are quite content to just get to the end of the day"

True?

 

[Maximas]

Holy **** that drop was hilarious

Yeah they look a bit flat, Prasad bringing some grunt though

 

[OverratedSanity]

**** yeah Prasad isiin the mood. Time to roll back the years to Headingley 2014

I think he means the skiers occurred after 50, not 150, which I seem to recall as well.

He was very defensive till he got to his ton.. no skiers till then.

No more so than any other stage during their time in NZ - their over rates have been dismal.

 

[viriya]

If SL end up losing this match they will rue those Kane drops.. just ridiculous.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah they look a bit flat,

Which is criminal given the lead is still only 100. If they're not up for this, they'll never be up for an afternoon session of Test cricket.

We're a pretty poor fielding team on the whole, some donkey fast bowlers and a few suspect others such as Dimuth

They're still on top for mine. Incredibly good position. No excuse to not be going full throttle.

If this pitch continues to get better as it seems tends to be the case then we are way on top

 

[Maximas]

Nice to hear the Kiwi commentators have forgotten we have other batsmen, Sanga did nothing in the second dig last test yet we got to 400 odd

I didn't even think he was the most dangerous batsman going into this match.

Angelo or Chandimalball?

 

[Prince EWS]

Angelo.

I love Chandimal but he was completely out of sorts coming into this game. I was pleasantly surprised when he hit runs tbh.

Oh yeah, NZ still miles away from any semblance of safety yet.

Pitch looks to be playing well & it's not like Craig will frighten the Lankan batsmen too much on days 4 & 5.

Feel we need a lead of 260-270 minimum.
