Silver Silva
International Regular
What a year 2024 is turning out to be for the Sri Lankan team
It isn't his debut. His 3rd match.On the upside it's been a good start for Zak Foulkes international career with 27* and 3 wickets.
Those ropes were so far in (although still normal-ish sized boundaries by nz standards) that 6s are a low risk option.SL gets there comfortably at the end. They made 86 runs in boundaries compared to NZ's tally of 50
One thing when a team has to set a target, the other when it's chasing. NZ were behind the 8 ball very early going into their innings. I believe they lost more wickets than boundaries struck in the powerplay.Those ropes were so far in (although still normal-ish sized boundaries by nz standards) that 6s are a low risk option.
Oh, I wasn't aware of this. Followed the game on CIThe Will Young dismissal was a 'joke'. I know it is technically out, but an umpire must be professionally embarrassed by that.
Yep mid 130’s will probably see him get up around 140 in the next year or two. His bouncer his lethal too, gets a lot of batsman out with it. Real surprise factor to it.Decent effort from foulkes. Really like the look if him,didn't realise he could clock 135 consistently, thought he was more mohammad abbas.
Foulkes gets some violent movement with the new ball aswell doesn't he? If he reaches that Cummins pace like your saying he could be a menace.Yep mid 130’s will probably see him get up around 140 in the next year or two. His bouncer his lethal too, gets a lot of batsman out with it. Real surprise factor to it.
There is a lot of hype over Nathan Smith but I reckon this kid is, and will be a much better cricketer. Big call but I think he’s our best cricketer in 4-5 years. As long as he can stay injury free.
I like him just because it's rare for someone's stock ball to right handers with the new ball to be a ***y hooping inswinger.Yep mid 130’s will probably see him get up around 140 in the next year or two. His bouncer his lethal too, gets a lot of batsman out with it. Real surprise factor to it.

It was a full toss hitting shin 'outside' line of off stump. As it was a full toss there was no 'clutter' or optical illusion of pitch and impact (there was only impact) - that sometimes messes me up where I find my gut initial judgement of an lbw might be way off.Similar to Latham's dismissal in the 2nd innings of the second test. Another lbw shout were a tiny slither of the ball was hitting in line.
Sonyliv?I wasn't even aware this match was on last night, not that I could have watched it anyway as there is no coverage of this series here.
It looks like we were playing a less experienced line up than Sri Lanka so not that surprising that we lost.
No I have Kayo here in Australia, they show most of the international series but Sri Lanka v NZ isn't big enough, they didn't show the test series either.Sonyliv?
He probably means it is free on YouTube on that channel. If no broadcaster in your country has paid fir the rights.No I have Kayo here in Australia, they show most of the international series but Sri Lanka v NZ isn't big enough, they didn't show the test series either.
Take that back.There is a lot of hype over Nathan Smith but I reckon this kid is, and will be a much better cricketer.
Teach Nath to bowl a h00ping innie or else.Take that back.
I meant Sonyliv covers this series for the aussies.No I have Kayo here in Australia, they show most of the international series but Sri Lanka v NZ isn't big enough, they didn't show the test series either.
