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

[_Ed_]

I don't think he's hit it, but I can't figure out what else the noise could be.

EDIT: I'm incorrect. Clearly hit it in RTS.

 

[Jono]

SL still $3 on Betfair even after that wicket

FFS Santer you absolute clown, wanted to top up on Lanka at 3/1 but decided my teeth needed to be brushed first and I wanted to get a price closer to 4/1.

Bad batting. I don't mind how he got out. It is just we have allowed them to bowl at us and bowl with confidence. You must bat positively and that dismissal is an example of what can happen if you go into your shell.

 

[Hurricane]

In terms of the Santner vs Neesham vs Corey conversation.

Neesham would have been out for a duck in that circumstance. Corey would have scored a fighting 40, which Santner's 38 was basically the equivalent of.

Bracewell on his second life here.

Should have hooked it down log legs throat an hour ago, like a real man.

 

[Hurricane]

Usually when we are 123/5 (and this time we were 128/5) we make it to somewhere between 180-210.
My target of 250 a long way off now.

I detect a touch of disagreement in your tone. He let some driveable balls go outside off stump, which let them continue to bowl merrily in that channel instead of earning some deliveries on his pads.

I admired his restraint, like you obviously did, against the short stuff.

 

[Hurricane]

BJ out.

 

[_Ed_]

****.

A flurry of Southee sixes would be lovely.

 

[Hurricane]

200 up 210 my next target

 

[CM Punk]

If we play as poorly as we have this series, Aus will hammer us.

The top order dismissals were disgraceful, 3 wickets thrown away after NZ had finally gotten momentum.

Yes SL have played well this series, but we should really be hammering this SL inexperienced side especially if we expect to win a match against Aus in February...

 

[CM Punk]

What an idiot...

 

[_Ed_]

Well, that didn't work.

 

[CM Punk]

What does Southee need to do to get demoted in the batting order? Swear he never lasts more than 5 balls these days.

 

[_Ed_]

I do think this has been a breakthrough performance from Chameera, though. Best I've seen him bowl - by a long way.

Deserves a 5fer.

What do you think of the Watling dismissal? Tried to drive a half volley and ended up getting caught.
