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

This is just rubbish bowling from NZ. C'mon Mitch, pull your head in mate.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Confirms my believe that one of Milne and McClenaghan only.

 

[Zinzan]

Anyone wants a sportsman's bet that Anderson won't go for more than his mandatory 6+ an over today? I say he will.

 

[hendrix]

McCleneghan is quickly playing himself out of the A team.

Southee, Boult, Milne please.

At least McC can take wickets. Milne ain't doing much at all.

 

[Athlai]

Confirms my believe that one of Milne and McClenaghan only.

In my mind Mills and Boult are fighting for the other new ball spot, and Milne/McC are for the third seamer.

Henry could possibly have had an argument for both spots...

Yeah, don't think we can really accommodate two feast-or-famine bowlers.

 

[hendrix]

Such quality from Sanga

 

[hendrix]

Ronchi is so pathetic not coming up to the stumps. Didn't do it in the UAE either.

You simply have to come up.

Latham to take the gloves IMO.

 

[Bahnz]

Well this isn't good.

 

[Bahnz]

Good swing from Elliot.

 

[Zinzan]

Perfect template for SL this. Bat first, get huge score & let their spinners come into play as the pitch slows down. It's when they're at their best.

It's only dangerous at that pace if the batsman is stuck on his crease I.e. If the keeper is up.

I don't think this pitch is going to slow much. If anything, the sun beating down on it should make it harder and quicker as the day progresses.

Having a bowler that can do 150k+ is really a double edged sword - especially in ODIs, unless you are getting a couple wickets+ every game it's more likely that it's not worth the risk imo.

 

[Bahnz]

Ronchi is looking awful today.

milne has been the least of our worries today

 

[hendrix]

Gee this pisses me off so much. There's no value in a medium pacer of the batsmen can move halfway down the pitch with no fear.

I don't know why the bowler and McCullum aren't making that request.

I have no doubt they've already figured out in training that Ronchi isn't up to it.
