*Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

I don't keep up with that forum but all the glee surrounding visiting PakPassion seemed like opportunistic bullying that was just accepted from my perspective so I put it out there

There are dark and ancient things in those depths. Like Ikki.

There are older and fouler things than trolls in the deep places of the forum.

PP is also probably the second best place for new cricket memes too. Though r/cricket seems to be forming a culture of its own

The only thing r/cricket is good for these days is to find ways to fit Kohli in to any given topic.

(the NZ discussion threads are actually pretty good though, about as doom and gloomy as here)

Long, long ago, there were interforum raids. I don't think it included many members that still post here but it's sort of why we all became familiar with PP. We also have gotten the odd update every few years from someone who still posts there about something funny. Like when they were calling for Misbahs head due to his age despite being a run machine for like 3 or 4 more years.

Imagine how much worse it'd be if Kohli was actually as good as Smith (or KW)

Haha look at these clowns on PakPassion *does some dumb raid that hasn't been funny since the 90s*

Just saw cricinfo. Loving this from SL.

 

[ashley bach]

Wags looks like he's trying to be angry but it isn't working. Maybe someone in the field should tell him he's bowling absolute pies, to really rile him up.

He really should of retired after that England series, would of been a great way to go out.

Don't ever believe anyone when they say CW used to be better.

Can't help but love Kusal Mendis and Karunaratne. With this sort of platform Mathews and Chandiguns will pile it on.

 

[Flametree]

Mendis well & truly in the running for the fastest century by a Sri Lankan.

Currently it's held by Jayawardene- 81 balls against Bangladesh.

I'd have thought Perera would have held that record...

 

[trundler]

Why did the show ball tracking for one that hit him on the ribs lol

 

[Flem274*]

Just here to register my disgust at the treatment of Will Young.

 

[straw man]

Reckon that was worth a review. Probably clipping but there's a chance would have completely missed.

edit: but good call

 

[Flem274*]

Quality knock. Given SL a great platform.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Game on. 3 down now.

 

[_Ed_]

One actually does bring two.

 

[trundler]

Add 2 wickets and 20 runs etc

 

[Athlai]

Well this feels a bit out of the blue

 

[straw man]

I don't know how Henry bowled in the first session, though 10 overs for 44 isn't great. But this session he's bowled nicely so far and that wicket is deserved reward.

SL just need to remember NZ's bowling outside of Southee+Henry is weak. So trying to flay a cover drive off Henry near the end of his spell and losing your wicket is a bad move.
