*Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand, 2024–25 (ODIs / T20Is)

[KungFu_Kallis]

Should've bowled Phillips

Test specialist now like Nathan Lyon apparently

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Damn there is some money being made on this crooked T20 cricket. Someone woulda got decent odds on NZ when NZ were 5 down and/or on NZ when SL were 0 down. Edit: oops

I think he's got a feather on that before it hit the pad.

 

[Bahnz]

I'm sure there's a whole bunch of them but no good example is coming immediately to mind. Iain O'Brien maybe? James Franklin (until he lost it again)?

Probably the best example I can think of is Flintoff who was 130kmh in the early days, but turned himself into 145+ in time for the 05 Ashes.

 

[thundaboult]

hehe

trollsome stuff this

 

[King Kane]

Foulkes reminds me of a slightly faster Willie Watson.

Matt Henry strikes to make another breakthrough.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Yes sir

 

[SeamUp]

Great comeback Kiwi's.

 

[Bahnz]

That's a ripper!

 

[King Kane]

Matt Hadlee, that was a jaffa.

 

[ataraxia]

lol. 78% for NZ now.

 

[thundaboult]

it was a pleasure watching matt henry bowl 10 years ago, and it still is....to me he's like boult, a glorious bowling action, that ever present quality, enjoy him while he's still around

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

We are only winning because Southee retired so once again Timmy should get all the credit

 

[Meridio]

Probably the best example I can think of is Flintoff who was 130kmh in the early days, but turned himself into 145+ in time for the 05 Ashes.

Maybe Kyle Jamieson too, though I think he put on 10 ks during the transition from first class to test cricket rather than after his international debut

 

[King Kane]

Foulkes bowling the last over, pressure on.

A wicket off the first ball, SL are bottling this.

 

[Meridio]

It's ended up being a very enjoyable game this, the swings from one side to the other have been pretty extreme

 

[thundaboult]

if foulkes pulls this off he might finally get rid of that adorable "i'm always looking quite frightened" expression on his face :')

 

[kevinw]

Well this is quite the collapse.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Cool head on this kid after getting smashed around earlier

 

[King Kane]

Foulkes is clutch, wickets and a run out.

Never doubted him.
