*Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka 2012

[Zinzan]

NZ should be looking for another 40-50 runs in around 10 overs setting SL 370-380 in 110 overs giving us two cracks with a new-ball.

 

[Flem274*]

About 70.

he'll get there

 

[Athlai]

Incredibly unlucky.

 

[Bahnz]

Bad luck. Should've gone back for 2 Toddy.

 

[Flem274*]

haha karma for astle

hope it broke pirana's foot

 

[Grasshopper]

Bad luck, Astle. That was a valuable innings from the debutant, though.

 

[Prince EWS]

Todd Astle tasting it.

Tastle it.

 

[Bahnz]

Weather still looks really good. Reckon we should bat for another 30 minutes at least.

 

[Zinzan]

Unlucky for Astle, but probably not such a bad thing for NZ at this stage. I'm sure between Taylor, Bracewell, Southee & co will get be able to scape another 40-50 runs and that's all we'll need.

 

[Athlai]

NZ paying $2.75

There is value there.

 

[Mike5181]

Alright, time to pick it up.

 

[Flem274*]

that was braindead. take the single and get taylor on strike ffs. compulsive slogger, if there is such a thing.

 

[Bahnz]

That was really silly. No need to go completely ballistic just yet.

 

[Athlai]

Would love to see Southee and Taylor having a massive tonk. If Southee goes first let Jeets play second fiddle to Taylor, if Taylor goes let everyone have a swing.

 

[Mike5181]

As long as Taylor and Southee/Boult/Patel can get us to 370 relatively quickly, it's fine.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Or Southee could just run Taylor out.

 

[Zinzan]

Haha, poor ole Braces has been nil in this series to date.

 

[Athlai]

Oh FFS.

 

[hendrix]

that was ****

 

[Grasshopper]

Oh, dear.
