*Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

[Prince EWS]

I can't remember a statistically worse NZ bowling attack in the last 25 years. These are the bowling averages for the NZ "attack"

Southee: 29.10
Henry: 38.02
Tickner 41.25
D Bracewell 38.83/Kuggleijn 40.25
M Bracewell 44.89
Mitchell: 109.33

When all but one bowler averages over 38, it isn't pretty reading.

Dougeh has the third best average.

Dougeh.

SL win the toss and bowl. Dracewell in for NZ.

If they can get an opener and Kane early and expose Nicholls, it will be game on. Mitchell and/or Blundell can't always save us.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Unless he is reappointed this is Stead's last test in NZ.

Then we'll be stuck with him.

Doug Bracewell.

Thank god its not Kuggs

That's true. Should be neither though.

 

[straw man]

The Bracewell takeover of New Zealand cricket is now complete. Honorary Bracewell Ian Smith is somehow behind all this, I just know it.

There is only one Bracewell. And his name is Michael.

Say his name.

No one will be saying his name.

You heading along tomorrow? In fact, if anyone is heading along tomorrow, give me a PM and I'll shout you a beer.

@SteveNZ needs to make it to the Basin at some point given his deeply expressed love for the place.

100% I'm there if/when the Aussies play there. **** I have some beautiful memories of watching Test cricket at the Basin.

Looking at the forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday, why is Sri Lanka playing the spinner? 95% chance of rain on Tuesday and tomorrow looks wet as well. Not bowled well today. Matthews will probably need to get through a fair few overs.
