***Official***Match #41- New Zeland vs Sri Lanka - November 9th - Bengaluru (D/N)

Just saw the score. So we are playing with reduced overs. Right?

I mean, they probably will now?

 

[Darwin Award]

Thank goodness ... Latham can breathe a sigh of relief.

.. Not entirely... dropped on 0

Costed the team 51 runs & god knows what possible mess of a scorecard it could've/should've been had he taken it.

This isn't really 83/5 bowling tbh. Even with the early swing it's a good deck and there have been plenty of loose ones.

I get that Sri Lanka has bigger issues than their cricket team and that the players are probably pretty unimpressed if the money chat I read on here this morning(?) is a thing, but Afghanistan isn't exactly an easy nation to represent I suspect.

 

[King Kane]

Sri Lanka's run rate is still good, it's just the 5 wickets that are the problem. if these two can bat sensibly they could still get Sri Lanka to a decent total.

Their runrate belongs to a man in the sheds

unlikely the way they have been performing this tournament

 

[straw man]

Despite SL not showing much of a sign of it, this has been a tournament for ridiculous turnarounds and comebacks from impossible positions. Would really like that one more wicket to get into the tail.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bonkers game.

 

[Meridio]

These two batting far too sensibly for my liking. Where's the wild swings to cow corner ffs

 

[Skyliner]

He edged that, and predictably Latham dropped it.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Another drop from Latham, blimin heck!

 

[Meridio]

The Specialist strikes again

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Perhaps Conway should practise his keeping if we make the semis.
Young can bat 5.

 

[Skyliner]

"Yess Mitchy". Just catch the freakin ball.

 

[DriveClub]

Sri lanka should at least aim to bat out the 50 overs

 

[Athlai]

Santner has had so many catches dropped this wc fmd

 

[Darwin Award]

It's not enough to have Latham in the team to hit a careful crafted 35 off 55 on a road...

He needs to drop a few catches to really feel he belongs in the team.

 

[King Kane]

Perhaps Conway should practise his keeping if we make the semis.
Young can bat 5.

A wheelie bin could be a better option too.

 

[NZTailender]

Very kind of Kane to let Sri Lanka have some dignity by not letting loose the Piranha just yet

 

[Athlai]

Beautiful
