What's Hamish Rutherford doing in the NZ set-up still? Maybe he's done some good work in an overseas t20 thing but damn, throwback to 2013

Great bowling but I still don't think the hat trick bowl was legal. Didn't really see any of Malinga's foot behind the line.

Was flown in from the UK because NZ didn't have 11 fit players to take the field. What this means for his international future, anyone's guess.

Who needs a flat stomach when you can bowl like that at 36?Malinga,what a legend.

For pure shock value this rather puts Herath's 5 for 3 against NZ in the world t20 in the shade.

I know I'm late to the party but just saw the highlights and we're all in agreement that the hat-trick ball was a no-ball right? There was definitely white line visible behind the heal on landing.

I actually don't mind that the 3rd ump let it go though, cricket needs this kind of spectacle.

Where did they pull that Seth Rance guy from? watched the highlights from the first T20 and thought he looked like an average club bowler

a little bit of handy inswing with the newey but mostly just slow and on a length

Part-time fireman Rance just swings it much more consistently these days than the more fashionable ones who bulked their bodies up and seemed to lose most of their lateral movement. Add to that the fact it was inland Sri Lanka under lights, conditions quite a bit more in favour of Rance than say Tickner. Milne went under the knife again last month (ankle).

Definitely look for Tickner to be in the T20 mix when there's a bouncy pitch on offer, but the guys once earmarked to be of at least some international use like Wheeler just aren't really giving the selectors any new ball swing or low tournament ERs to work with lately. Just speeds of 143-145 and pretty high tourney ERs.
