He appears to have an issue with England - I suspect he may well be Andy Not Here quite soon.

I'm sure we batted a full 50 against SL once and only scored about 95 - Jayasuriya knocked them off in about 12 overs.
Just found that game, we were bowled out in the 47th over for 88!! So that doesn't count.

Yeah, I mean it’s called scoreboard pressure for a reason right. We will never know how many short England were. Another 50 and maybe NZ still win but you can’t just extrapolate the run rate and assume it.
I guess the fact that we threw starts away is one reason why I’m not super worried. We are capable of big scores. Any talk of no chance of beating xyz based on one game is super premature. Same sort of posting as when Marsh was on the rampage at Headingley.
It’s a bruising defeat and I’m pretty gutted but this format gives us margin for error. Obviously we now have less than we started with. On we go.

2011 quarter final maybe?
You appear to have issue with me for no reason. While I am here just expressing my opinion

Didn't seem to be any dew, but the ball definitely came on better under the lights. I doubt you'll see too many opting to bat first in the D/N games.

39.3 that game.
found when looking for the one mentioned by @Molehill Sri Lanka chasing 322 in 37.3 in 2006 ENG vs SL, Sri Lanka tour of England 2006, 5th ODI at Leeds, July 01, 2006 - Full Scorecard (espncricinfo.com)
So that's more of a paddling in regards run rate. But not a World Cup embarrassment when were the reigning ODI/T20 champions.
Surprised to see Bresnan was playing international cricket back in 2006 mind.

What a win for the Black Caps, we just demolished England and I wasn't even playing.
I might have some trouble getting my spot back with how well Ravindra played today.
Just joking, I will get my spot back, Ravindra will open with Conway and that dud Will Young will get dropped.

Your opinion sucks though, much like the England performance today.

I've been in the nets all day, now I'm just kicking back with the boys celebrating the win in the changerooms downing a few well earned Steinlagers.
We kicked Will Young out though, he didn't earn one.
