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

[Zinzan]

Mills

Nah, Mills just has cement in his boots these days, but can still catch, throw and do the basics.

 

[Flem274*]

Yeah but I don't want us to make the final only to meet Johnson or Steyn on a deck faster and bouncier than we can produce in NZ.

 

[Bahnz]

Nice work.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

god damnit why do batsmen think Nmac is ever going to turn it

 

[BeeGee]

NcCullum!! Ha Ha that was awesome. The old batsman expects NZ spinner to spin ball trick.

 

[Flem274*]

nice ball NMac

I think you'll find that 'generally speaking' the Aussie wickets aren't that much quicker/bouncier than most NZ tracks anymore. I say generally speaking because this Hagley park track does appear a touch slowish.

This chch crowd is pretty subdued. Perhaps they aren't playing the pop music between deliveries loud enough?

playing Kashmir, gun DJ

Mills

Vettori

 

[Zinzan]

Always a bad tactic to play for 'turn' vs. NZ spinners, you'd think Dishan would have learned that by now.

 

[Zinzan]

Vettori

Again, Vettori and Mills are both long in the tooth and hence slugs around the park. Mitch is both a slug and genuinely uncoordinated.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Milne should not be bowling here.

 

[Zinzan]

Good to see Pig back in the comm box incidentally. Fan of his commentary.

Learnings is not a word, Craig Cumming >:-(

 

[Zinzan]

So impressed with Milne's line today. Been cramping the batsmen beautifully.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Mathews ain't scared of pace Brendon.

 

[Zinzan]

It's a great shame the Alternative cricket commentary doesn't sync with the Sky pictures.

 

[BeeGee]

Much better over from Mitch.
