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

LOL! Seriously, how can you appeal for that? THat's was going to miss a second and even third pair of stumps.

 

[Zinzan]

Taylor's stance is so f..ked up. Don't know why he's playing like this.

Hint: Who's the batting coach?

 

[Flem274*]

Wouldn't go this far. A combination of being debuted when he was much too young, and constantly shuffling up and down the order have kept his average lower than it probably should be.

He was quality keeper batsman down at #7 between 2005-2007 or so

Russell Arnold is talking complete crap.

 

[Dick Rockett]

It's a silly gimmick imo.

 

[BeeGee]

Russel's talking a steaming pile.

Russell Arnold is talking complete crap.

What's he saying?

 

[viriya]

This is the kinda match where SL realizes not having ajantha mendis in the squad can be a problem. What do you do when Senanayake loses the plot?

 

[Bahnz]

Bugger, great innings. Still set up pretty well.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Aww, crap.

 

[BeeGee]

Good catch.

 

[Zinzan]

Vettori to go hard here & allow Taylor to bat through, or both to nurdle it for the next 5 overs?

Edit: Lovely stroke to get off the mark.

 

[hendrix]

Yeah Danny to slog a quick 30 so Corey can come in with 15 to go.

 

[Prince EWS]

I think it kind of makes more sense to think of it as Vettori in for Elliott and Henry in for McCleanaghan tbh,

Makes even more sense now.

 

[Bahnz]

This sounds like a hilariously gunge innings from Taylor. Not quite Elliot-esque, but nothing like his recent form in Pakistan either.

He really can't seem to get his footwork right at all. He keeps finding himself in really bad positions and then having to adjust and defend.

 

[jonbrooks]

Man, it's painful to watch Taylor batting. He is really struggling. :-( Used up 54 deliveries and has an SR under 50 :-(

SL have bowled well/defensively. It'll cost them at the end of the innings.

 

[Zinzan]

Wow, pitch starting to slow suddenly?

Pews, this could be one of the few wickets to suit playing both NZ spinners after all.

 

[Dick Rockett]

I don't think Taylor's batting as badly as you guys are making out. Needs to be more assertive now that McCullum's gone though.
