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

[straw man]

loss of Craig not good for our slip cordon.

A definite downside to losing Craig, and to Neesham getting injured too as he's a decent third or fourth slip.

Seems like Guptill has booked his place in the side for the next while - take him away too and we'd be back to Taylor, half-Southee and not much else in slips.

To anyone watching, who was in slips when Southee was bowling here? Taylor, Guptill, McCullum?, someone else?

2 filthy long hops from Wagner.

Obviously deserves to be in the team but gee sometimes he can be an unsexy prospect.

Keep up the good work

 

[Pothas]

That was not very good.

There's clear indication that SL wants to attack Wagner. Hope the Jayasundera dismissal doesn't force them to change their plan.

 

[Meridio]

Lol, Wagner in a nutshell. Short and wide, short and wide, stray onto the pads, short and wide with a wicket.

classic wagner wicket.

"Boult and Southee are off, time to score some runs!

oh ****"

if that's their plan to wagner they clearly haven't watched much of him bowling

 

[Bahnz]

Welcome back Wags.

 

[Athlai]

I've missed the jammy Wagner wickets.

 

[straw man]

So two of SL's best three batsmen at the crease with the other next in. Where can we find a wicket? In the channel or short wide filth seem to be the two most promising propositions right now.

[hendrix]

yeah this is just stupid from McCullum, terrible example for kids watching.

 

[hendrix]

Nice bowling from Santner though, and I like what Wagner's doing.

 

[Bahnz]

Sigh, another snorefest brought to you by Uni Oval.

Tbf, Sri Lanka seem to have batted quite well. Any word on Boult's fitness?

 

[hendrix]

Excellent from Karuneratne. Rate him.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Smithy just called Doug Brendon Bracewell.

 

[Skyliner]

Sri Lanka like what Wagner's doing.

 

[Contra]

Wait SL and NZ playing each other? Didn't they play tests last year this time too?

What was?
