*Official* New Zealand vs Sri Lanka- White Ball Tour of SL- November, 2024

[Moss]

Like the look of Hay. Bobbled a couple standing up to the spinners but had the composure to take both on the 2nd attempt & just seems to move well.

Yeah, not a flawless keeping performance but was a livewire behind the stumps and looked like he enjoyed being out there. Some runs in the ODIs would be great too.

I'd like to see Max Chu get an opportunity at some stage this summer as well. Has a good reputation as a 'keeper and seems to be coming of age with the bat, if that knock today is anything to go by.

Wish Chapman would finally score some runs against a team that’s not Pakistan. Really hasn’t made enough of his opportunities in white-ball now that he’s a permanent fixture. Having said that, no.3 is not his ideal position.

In fairness to him (because he cops a bit of flack), his T20I record for NZ is surprisingly good – averaging 30 and striking at 140 – if he doesn't inspire much faith against quality opposition.

Mitch Hay Tim Robinson and Nathan Smith to all make their dayboo. Sri Lanka opt to bat.

 

[Chubb]

I am obviously delighted that my second grade teammate has finally won his much deserved first cap.

Good. Can watch a few overs of Smith before bed.

 

[ataraxia]

Good game boys, faultless from both sides

 

[Moss]

Very tough for NZ having to chase with this lineup in spin friendly conditions.

 

[Howsie]

Are we at the point with Ish Sodhi where it’s what’s the point? In a team with Phillips, Bracewell and Santner do we really need a bog average leggie that can’t bat or field?

 

[Zinzan]

Good. Can watch a few overs of Smith before bed.

Or 1 ball.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Good. Can watch a few overs of Smith before bed.

Or not

Smith has an aggressively pointy face

 

[thierry henry]

Smith 139kph. He looks definitely quicker than reported but still could prove hittable given what Danny Morrison would call his ‘traj’

 

[ataraxia]

That's an impressive jump.

 

[thierry henry]

I’ve only seen him do 7 things but Smith already looks like a cricketer

 

[Mike5181]

Holy **** he made that catch look easy lol

 

[thierry henry]

Smith 143 CLICKS

 

[ataraxia]

143kph. Juiced speed guns but that's still very quick from Smith. Pick him against England please.

 

[Mike5181]

yeah that didn't look 143
