*Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

I'd take a spinner who can pick up 2-80 off 15-20 overs with the attack we have right now.

I think you're being wildly over optimistic about Astle's capabilities if you think he would emerge from a days bowling with figures like those.

Loving KVW's calls from behind the stumps

"Lovely work Jeetan"
"Well bowled Jeetan"
"That's the way Jeetan"

 

[straw man]

Frinks!

First wicket since his return to the side.

Jimmy James!

Frinks!

First wicket since his return to the side.

Has outbowled Doug.

 

[Flem274*]

NZ with a 5 run 1st innings lead on the cards.

I'm surprised Franklin hasn't bowled more today - he was on the money in his previous spell and kept the Sri Lankans pinned down.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Yeaahhhh frinks with the paaace

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Lol Franklin could bowl 130 this whole ****ing time, but he just couldn't be arsed? Git.

 

[Flem274*]

Haha as soon as he gets a wicket he hits the mid 130s. So Jimmy.

 

[Spikey]

what a guy

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Jeeeeets

 

[Flem274*]

With the new batsman in surely it's worth giving Southee or Boult a quick two over burst before racing through the overs until the new ball?

edit: wwhat do i know. jeets!

 

[Bahnz]

Just needed Doug to give him the assurance that he wasn't the worst bowler on display.

 

[Athlai]

Jeets

 

[Flem274*]

Get Southee on to rip out the tail

 

[wellAlbidarned]

excellent hollywood by Southee

 

[Bahnz]

Howsie must not know whether to laugh or cry right now.

 

[straw man]

Slips and gully for Bracewell bowling to the SL number 9 - tries to bowl a yorker and goes for four. Not a good performance by him.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Time and time again it's been shown: unless you're a freak bowling 150kph, the most effective way to bowl to tailenders is to pretend they're real batsmen. Quit trying to go for the glory ball, Doug

 

[Bahnz]

Jeeets!
