[Flem274*]

[straw man]

yeah Dickwella is killing it, great innings this. Lakmal, one rush of blood aside, has been solid

Ha ha, remember that like it was yesterday.

Similar situation at the P'Sara that day, NZ needed 3 wickets in the final session and was left to Southee and Boult pretty much do all the damage. Here there's more of a threat of not having the full session to work with.

With one wicket in hand, nz having butchered a run out and a plum lbw not given the prior over?

 

[NZTailender]

yesss somers somerville

 

[vandem]

Ajaz looked tired. Summers still getting some rip. So Summers + seamer looks a good option.

Edit - just as I was typing .....

 

[Flem274*]

thank ****

now we need to go bang bang before the light kills us

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Who heard them saying between overs one more from Somers and then back to spin? haha

 

[Athlai]

I've grown to love Dickswella. Wag

 

[Burgey]

Carn enzed

 

[Flem274*]

yes

 

[NZTailender]

ohhh dickwella, just one lapse

 

[vandem]

Anyone else think NZ have been overly defensive to Dickwella since tea? Trying to stop a single is OK, but no close fielder for spinners for 2-3 balls per over, and now no slip for Boult?

 

[NZTailender]

good move to bring ajaz on, great premeditation from latham. Not the first time he's done that for an in close catch. wag.

 

[Flem274*]

wicket to wicket and yorkers

 

[Moss]

Phew. Full marks to Dickwella for batting completely against type this series and making life difficult for NZ, but that hopefully is the end.

 

[NZTailender]

**** me why is there no 3rd test. Sri Lanka have been more of a challenge than expected and our guys are just figuring out conditions now. Test #3 would be a cracker.
