*Official* Semi Final 1 - Sri Lanka vs New Zealand

[straw man]

230 probably our expected score from here. Need a bit more than that IMO.

Damn, there goes Taylor

 

[Bahnz]

if it rains all the way.. SL will go through rt..do we have reserve days ?

Yes, there's a reserve day.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Oh FFS.

A longhop right down his throat.
Needed Taylor in for the PP.

(Cue "we should have taken the PP" brigade)

 

[Spark]

Well that's just daft.

 

[Jacknife]

Exactly what they didn't need.

*Types long post of curses and swears. deletes entire post*

Sigh...

That's terrible out on a long hop... It was there to hit and picks out the fielder.

 

[Athlai]

Only dashers to come after this, will be interesting to see how Williamson plays here. Rotate the strike and let the other end go for it?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Exactly what they didn't need.

When do you ever need a wicket to fall?

 

[_Ed_]

And once again Kane has to go in at a time that really doesn't suit his game at all.

But he did superbly last time, so I'm hoping he can contribute something here.

 

[Woodster]

Unfortunately that ball should still be coming down. Rank long hop and Taylor found deep mid wicket perfectly, such a shame, they were going so well and presumably preparing to push the rate on.

Interesting to see how Williamson goes here, tough time for him to come in.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Replay looks even worse. ****tiest ball of the ****ing match.

When Jamie How is batting.

i fell a sleep when it was 1-60 odd just woke up again to hear taylo dismissed, scores looking good.

One positive of Williamson coming out now is he's one of the calmer players in the side and won't panic into a very poor shot.

Just rotate and let Styris belt the ball.

Disgraceful!

 

[straw man]

Hitting time for Styris

Not when they were looking to excelerate , especially after taking up so many balls.

True, but a problem - as we just saw there - is that their vastly different speeds running between the wickets could cause some problems.
