1st Match - New Zealand v Sri Lanka

[Zinzan]

Vettori !!

 

[_Ed_]

Yusss.

 

[Athlai]

Was that Dilshan's ideal wicket zone too?

Haha

Also drink for the wicket and the cheap Vettori over Mike.

 

[viriya]

That <60 SR is ****ty even for Dilshan 2.0.

 

[halba]

This game feels so much more even then NZ $1.13 vs SL $5.75

depends if sanga fires. if he can sl can win.

 

[Athlai]

Run out chance missed. Drrrrink.

 

[Athlai]

Besides the wide that was a quality over from Milne.

 

[hendrix]

Run out chance missed. Drrrrink.

If there's one thing that pisses me off more than dropped catches it's wicket keepers not hustling to get up to the stumps for runouts. Ronchi had plenty of time to get there.

Not a bad call considering how rarely we hit the stumps.

It'll be interesting to see how Sri Lanka approach Anderson's and Elliott's overs; you'd think they'd have to go hard at them chasing 330. Might be worth trying to get a couple in now with Sanga still new at the crease.

 

[viriya]

Milne should pull up with a foot issue so NZ can replace him with Henry already.

 

[Athlai]

Milne is such a promising player but I still think we should have went for McClenaghan. He's not quite there yet,

 

[Howsie]

Milne bowling a whole heap of crap here.

Right on cue. Hoping Williamson gets a couple of the 5th bowler quota as well.

 

[_Ed_]

Milne bowling a whole heap of crap here.

Yep, unfortunately. Probably bowling himself out of the team at the moment.

But hopefully he might get a confidence-boosting haul of wickets against one of the associates.

 

[viriya]

Sanga just passed Ponting for the #2 spot in ODI runs:
Records | One-Day Internationals | Batting records | Most runs in career | ESPN Cricinfo

Underrated ODI batsman.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol McCullum, the master at the direct hit when it doesn't matter

 

[viriya]

Elliott to get Sanga off a rank full-toss.. Sanga to stare at the pitch after bopping it to midwicket.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, not handling the pressure at all well is Milne. The ease with which SRL are picking up singles is starting to be seriously worrying.

 

[Howsie]

McCullum drops a catch. Drink!
