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

[Prince EWS]

Jeevan and Dilshan should not bowl another over imo..

 

[Athlai]

Don't look to Wellington for comfortable chases or winning in general ftr.

 

[hendrix]

That short ball first up to Corey almost made him light up.

 

[viriya]

Hard to hate him.. I like his finishing - doesn't waste balls. But he rarely gives you control with the ball.

 

[viriya]

So if PEWS is right Anderson will **** on Jeevan here.

 

[Prince EWS]

So if PEWS is right Anderson will **** on Jeevan here.

I actually think he'll probably be more circumspect against Jeevan than the frontliners. Won't back himself to pick it from the hand right away.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

So if PEWS is right Anderson will **** on Jeevan here.

He's not solid in defense against spin, but he's very strong on the attack and knows how to put them into the stands.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

For us to win the WC we absolutely can't meet SL in a knockout game. They're definitely our bogey side in ODIs, especially tournaments.

 

[Zinzan]

I'd have Crowe at #3 and Kane in the strike rotation role at #5

Thinking about, my updated all-time NZ side would be;

Turner
Astle
Williamson
Crowe (c)
Taylor
McCullum (wk)
Cairns
Vettori
Hadlee
Mills
Bond

with Williamson replacing Twose.

Sena just asked Sanga after that Corey biff to long-on for a run:

"what the **** is he doing with the bat??"

 

[Athlai]

For us to win the WC we absolutely can't meet SL in a knockout game. They're definitely our bogey side in ODIs, especially tournaments.

We're 50/50 against them in ODIs but have pretty much never comfortably beaten them in an ODI.

 

[viriya]

Feel like Corey will decide this game.. if he comes off Sena and Herath will still have to bowl out their overs.

 

[viriya]

So Angelo bowls 4 over for 16 and a wicket and doesn't bowl again.. Mahela or Sanga have to punch him in the face and let him know he has to bowl more than that.

what the actual ****.

isn't our record in knockout games against them horrible?

 

[Zinzan]

Honestly feel NZ have got this even if Anderson falls soon. Still decent batting to come, Vettori, Ronchi etc. Assuming Milne would bat at 11 if required.

Lol I would legitimately say this as the opposition too but I don't think it'd bother Anderson because the guy just has so much power. He obviously has a slog but he's bloody good at it.

 

[hendrix]

Corey vs Kulasekera could be very fun.

 

[viriya]

Corey vs Kulasekera could be very fun.

Only for one of the parties involved... and not the guy who dropped 3 world cups.

 

[viriya]

WASP etc don't really make sense when you get to the last 10 overs anymore.. when a team got 167 runs in the last 10 just a few days ago all bets are pretty much off.

 

[hendrix]

It does seem strange to use him as the death option vs Corey. Would've backed Sena tbh.
