*Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

[Hurricane]

Ian OBrien has been in 58 minutes. My coach used to say there is a barrier at the one hour mark where you lose your concentration.

 

[DingDong]

good stuff from o'brien...

 

[Meridio]

With us finally showing some guts, it's about now that I'm seriously fuming that this is only a two test series. Got a big glut of ODIs/T20s between now and the Pakistan tour for us to forget how to bat again.

 

[Hurricane]

I am not a fan of walking. OBrien should've waited for the decision.

 

[Meridio]

Um, I don't think O'Brien hit that. Will be interesting to see the replay.

 

[Craig]

O'Brien is out. This won't last long.

 

[Zinzan]

Um, I don't think O'Brien hit that. Will be interesting to see the replay.

Dude, he would not have walked if he didn't hit it

The only time a NZ four ever disappoints me is when it's the last ball of the over and Chris Martin's at the other end.

Ten bucks says DingDing isnt a kiwi but some pricks smartarse multi (bond21 or MNS ftw). Seriously, how patronising can you get?

Good point, thought he was trolling myself. Didnt think he could be bond21 and MNS because how lame would you have to be to do that?

 

[Craig]

Vettori gets his highest Test score. We know need 99 runs to win

 

[Meridio]

I know, I just couldn't see it. Didn't hear anything and there wasn't any obvious deflection. Must have been the thinnest of edges.

 

[JBH001]

Is Murali back on? See he got the wicket of Patel, but has he recovered from the groin injury or just battling through as he tends to do?

Edit: Reckon a quickie would have a better chance of getting Martin, but I think Vettori may sew up that end.

Fabulous defence from Martin. Survives the over.

He seemed to be limping a bit.

Coming back on to bowl again now.

He lasted an entire over against Herath.

 

[JBH001]

Haha, and 3 balls against Murali! Reckon a quick would finish Martin off (ahem) quick, but dont know if Sanga will stick to the two spinners.

 

[Craig]

Martin has lasted 11 balls

 

[Craig]

Make that 13.

 

[_Ed_]

Wow, what a catch!

 

[Hurricane]

Good try new zealand its all over.
