Hey we are doing it ATM for NZ.

My point exactly. You're 34/6 right now.

 

[sayon basak]

What do you want us to do? Put up a green pitch and get rolled for lesser scores, while our opponents who might prefer a track like that just stroll to victory every time? You're having a laugh.

So you agree you would lose everytime in a proper sporting wicket?

Why is a spin-friendly wicket not a proper sporting wicket? Are spinners not a thing in cricket?

 

[Spark]

Sporting wickets are one thing but this is basically a portal opening up to Cape Town or Centurion out there in the middle. Whatever was originally intended before all the rain, I doubt this was it.

Not this guy.

In fairness I didn't see a lot of that last half hour in particular but I'm honestly not even sure that NZ bowled that well, as strange as it seems. They seemed to be bowling quite wide, not really forcing the batsman to play, and weren't super consistent.

That extra bounce certainly looked unpleasant though. Perhaps good practice for next month...

Why not play along?

SL with all the momentum going into the final match today.

Predictions:
-SL's spinners continue to spin a web around our batsmen
- Motie takes 5
- the margin of defeat will not be as bad as the 2nd match.

Congrats, Sri Lanka

If Motie takes 5, how are WI losing?

 

[sayon basak]

Thanos gonna take at least 3. Mark my words(4)

The other 15 overs go for 100 runs...enough for SL's spinners to spin a web around our batsmen.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Only if he bowls 5 overs

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

We are batting first,

Hope in, Fletcher out

Fabien in, Shamar Springer out

More spin

 

[sayon basak]

Only if he bowls 5 overs

Ok, he will go for 0-31(4). then he will get the 3 wickets in his 5 over, if he gets to bowl that.

Yes, he is Thanos, he is inevitable.

 

[Silver Silva]

I hope Wickramasinghe gets a chance in the odi cricket stage vs WI , we really need a 6th bowling option and he'll be important in overseas conditions

 

[sayon basak]

King starting like king.

 

[sayon basak]

Look at that in drift from Theeksana.

Wicket #1 goes to a spinner
