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

look at that ridiculous drift from Herath!

 

[hendrix]

Herath bowling about as well as a SLA can bowl on the first day on a NZ pitch.

 

[RxGM]

Just such a quality bowler

 

[NUFAN]

Lets be honest Smith is unlikely to get a second bat. So even if he ducks in second innings I think a century will be about enough. (based on looking at how his points change after each innings)

Smith unlikely? I would say there is about a 95 percent chance that Smith bats twice vs. WI this Test.

95% is quite high. I would say there is more than a 5% chance of aus being in a position to enforce the follow on (ie bowl WI out for less than 150).

 

[straw man]

A hundred, a thirty average, 2000 test runs, what more could you want.

 

[Skyliner]

Terrific fighting hundred by this doughty opener.

Really happy for Guptill to get that ton. A bit streaky at times but it shows what he's capable of.

 

[Athlai]

Where the haters at, where they at?

actually they're still ****ing here

 

[Dan]

Hard not to be happy for Guptill.

For a number three bat who only bowls occasionally, Jayasundera has a nice action.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Even if Guptill can be a home town minnow basher, that's more than anyone else would offer.

 

[SOLID MATTIC]

So we are fifty overs in, one wicket down, 200+ on the board. Maybe try the guy with a test average of 17? Surely worth a go, you know more than Jayasundera at least. Just a thought.

Cricinfo mentioned his 'subdued celebrations'. Didn't see what he did, but surely that's just Gup's style? He's not really the jumping fist-pump type.

Minnows like this should only get 1-off tests.

It's such a shame. SL should be so much better than this.

Should have given it the full "oh what a feeling" David Warner pug dog leaping for a frisbee celebration.

It's far too early to call this one-sided. Wonder how NZ will find the conditions when they bowl. Could flatten out relatively quickly if Dunedin history is anything to go by.
