*Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

[The Hutt Rec]

Are we going to play until 7.30 to get the overs in, or what? Commentators seem certain we'll see 99 more balls.

Quite often NZ commentators seem very uninformed on these things I must say ...

 

[The Hutt Rec]

The NZC website which is usually on the money says minimum 15.3 overs left. ?

This is what I was talking about with the Mt Maunganui test 2 years ago. Day 3 was an 11am start and 7:30 finish, so 1.5 hours beyond scheduled close of play. Until then I had always thought it was an hour max.

Sri Lanka trying to slow the game down, bit of gamesmanship going on

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I'm confused lol. Anyway, looks like 15 to go!

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Why are their so many breaks when the players just had a session wiped out cause of rain ?

Cricinfo comms frozen at 169/3, or is that just for me?

Yeah it froze but back to normal now. Hence the nickname crapinfo.

They just apologised for it, I like the idea that it was a personal apology to me

Even money between NZ and the draw going into the last hour. Reckon we'll gobble them up if we don't lose a wicket in the next 25-30 mins.

Haven’t been able to watch much of this innings due to work, but the commentary makes it seem like we’ve been extremely lucky. Is that fair?

NZ have been brave enough to go for the target and in the process giving SL some chances, which is quite natural.

 

[ashley bach]

Kane averages 139 in successful run chases for NZ, not a bad wee stat.

 

[ashley bach]

Those 2 sixes from Mitchell swings the pendulum well and truly NZ's way.

 

[ashley bach]

Mitchell with another ton will wrap up the man of match award without any question.

 

[ashley bach]

Mitchell's average surges well over 60. Again proof that he's classes above Steve Smith.

Yeah but you're lucky if they drop catches.

Lucky, yes. But it would be unfair to coin it "extremely lucky".

58 off the last 10
