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

[Silver Silva]

NZ are making a mistake here , SL are looking to play shots. They should bringing on spin from both ends and try to squeeze ..These two are good against seam on flat tracks

 

[straw man]

SANTA!!

Ok that was nice.

Mitchell doesn't drop those

 

[King Kane]

Santner strikes, thankfully that catch went to Mitchell rather than Latham.

 

[Silver Silva]

Ah well Mathews goes anyway

 

[Athlai]

I ****ing love when Santner just keeps bowling slower

 

[DriveClub]

Why doesn't santner bowl like this in tests

 

[Silver Silva]

Santner probably the best odi bowler with a 35+ bowling average

 

[DriveClub]

Bad luck for Pak no way they can make up the nrr boost kiwis are gonna get in this game

If he played most of his tests in India rather than NZ he would probably be a much better test spinner.

Sorry Pak fans , hopefully Chamika can do something

Jadeja also iirc .

Attacking the bat with turn from bowling slower is a bit more of a recent addition to his arsenal. So maybe we will see more FC success from him.

He hasn't really had this total control of it until recently. He has had a few games this World Cup where he seems to be the only spinner able to get something out of the pitch, which against far bigger turners of the ball is pretty interesting.

 

[Athlai]

****ing beauty

Santner averages 52 with the ball in his 3 tests in India , wouldn't get into the Indian test team ahead of Jadeja

 

[morgieb]

What a bizarre scorecard. It feels like someone getting flogged in a T20, not an ODI.

 

[Groundking]

How did we lose to Sri Lanka?

 

[ataraxia]

Santa spinning out SL is glorious content.

 

[King Kane]

The Santner Mitchell combo strikes again.

Jadeja doesn't have to bowl against ****ing India tho

**** this probably seals the SF and CT spots both
