Southee saving himself for that deceleration batting. 2-3 wickets with Sri Lanka on 500 would see him safe for the England seriesHa ha, NZ just seem determined to help SL along. Where’s a rain break when you need it?
I’ll be relieved if NZ don’t overbowl WOR here and in the upcoming tests given he’s the one bowler who offers a persistent threat. Southee as first choice is questionable enough but he shouldn’t be restricting himself to the new ball either.
shocking he has not scored one against zimbabwe yetChandimal the 15th Test player to score a Test hundred against 9 different teams , only South Africa and Zimbabwe left to complete the set , we tour SA later in the year
Yeah hopefully he can correct it onedayshocking he has not scored one against zimbabwe yet
SL are playing SA again on non Highveld venues like in 2020. Durban and Port Elizabeth. They have a chance yet againChandimal the 15th Test player to score a Test hundred against 9 different teams , only South Africa and Zimbabwe left to complete the set , we tour SA later in the year
I have to admit that I have a slight more liking for the player who doesn't necessarily fill his boots against the small teams and has an even spread of scores against everyone, rather than a player who scores big against the small teams to cover up failures against the best.Yeah hopefully he can correct it oneday
Looking forward to that series , I think for the first time we go to South Africa having a better batting line up pedigree wise than the South Africans.SL are playing SA again on non Highveld venues like in 2020. Durban and Port Elizabeth. They have a chance yet again
I'd say so. Though you are in a pickle in a way that 3 of your best bats comfortably count as old. How long they can keep going for is anyones guess.Looking forward to that series , I think for the first time we go to South Africa having a better batting line up pedigree wise than the South Africans.
