well hello

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Kanye! Bracewell!!
Blocky!!

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Yussss

 

[straw man]

Damn I want to see a replay of that right now...

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Bracewell's wickets don't count because the catches were awesome.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

woooooooo

 

[bill8164]

WHAT A CATCH!!! Williamson at Gully wow!!! Matthews out Dove to his left grabbed it once dropped it and then took on the second take.

 

[Blocky]

Credit where it's due, he's bowling a great length for this wicket and like Pradeep for the Sri Lankans, seems to be the only two getting the ball through to the keeper. Still have to say it's batsman error more so than bowling masterclass, but then that's what Wagner profits on too.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yeah, looking like a horrible declaration here.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I've got a hose if you need help getting that egg off your face blocky

 

[NZTailender]

Haha what a correction, great recovery catch.

Don't celebrate too early buddy, as good as the day has started for him - it looked pretty good for the Sri Lankans early yesterday too.

 

[Blakey]

In other news. Steve smith is four away from kissing the pitch.

 

[hendrix]

Innings don't start till 5 down at the basin, remember.

 

[Spark]

I just saw that catch. Holy ****balls.

 

[thierry henry]

Love having Craig Mack and Big Daddy Kane in the side. An infusion of old-school hip hop is apparently what we needed all along.

 

[Viddly]

Game over like we both said when McCullum was dismissed on Day 3?

That wicket took SL's chance of winning from something like 2% to 1% in my mind. Though my comment was also directed at pushing for a win rather than petering out as a draw.

Agree with this. SL were never really in it today, even if Sanga got 100 they still needed 300 from somewhere. He got 200 in the 1st and they still only got 350.

Sorry Blocky, I think you're miles off. Understandable if you're a long time NZ follower but this is a different team to what we're used to. From here I wouldn't be surprised if it's all over by tea.

 

[Blocky]

Well, if Sri Lanka keep playing like New Zealanders of past generations and flinging the bat at wide ones outside off stump early in their innings, you'll be right in that assessment.

With both Matthews and Sangakkara back in the shed at lunch though, it would be a disappointment if this side can't capitalise and make it count from here.

 

[Blakey]

I just saw that catch. Holy ****balls.

It was a good catch but I think he should have taken it cleanly.

For me def wasn't holy ****balls but in context of the game it was awesome.

 

[Blocky]

New Zealand must be the best catching side in the world at the moment, with exception of Ross Taylor shelling that sitter and McCullum dropping an uncharacteristic dolly in the first innings, you've seen Boult pull in some all time great catches this year, Williamson seems to snag one or two a series every series, McCullum himself takes some great catches, BJ very rarely ever drops anything, Craig and Neesham have been solid in the slips.

We don't really have a single weak fielder in the side at the moment and we have a few that are absolutely superb.
