***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

[viriya]

If you don't get him before he gets 8 in NZ, he tons up.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Let's see if it's a good move, it think we're handing them runs.

Hey I'd love it if we could bowl Southee and boult the whole innings. Unfortunately they're not robots so baz has to rest them.

 

[Jono]

Sanga ton. Like I called. Would hate to have been the guy who ruled out an atg batsman getting a ton.

 

[Howsie]

FMD. McCullum you dolt

 

[Cabinet96]

Reckon McCullum misses 2014 yet?

 

[Flem274*]

jesus. didn't realise we had a marsh at cover.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

So arrogant to use sub fielders in this way. Curse you all.

 

[Immenso]

I ****ing hate the reverse cup.

Responsible for bungled catches than Monty Panesar's coordination.

Who's saying anything about robots or bowling Southee & Boult for that matter? Strange response.

I just said I wouldn't be bowling Craig after we finally broke the last recognized batsman. There's an old saying in sport about doing the last thing your opposition want you do to & I'd bet Prasad would be happy to see Craig bowling.

Terrible drop Bmac, sums up the day.

 

[Zinzan]

Anyway, sanity has prevailed and Craig has been replaced now.

 

[Flametree]

Prasad at eight?


Why are Subcontinent lower orders so ****e?

Prasad averages 16, about the same as Harbajan and Saqlain for instance who were a couple of subcontinent number 8's to cause NZ some problems.

Sri Lanka had Vaas at number 8 for donkey's years, so I don't think the generalisation holds.

 

[Howsie]

Argh. The wheels are coming off. Watch Sri Lanka lead by 150 by the end of the day.

I don't see the problem with leaving a spinner on to a known slogger.

 

[Zinzan]

Lovely back foot square drive from Prasad. Shot of a batsmen that.

SL still an outside chance of getting a 100-120 run lead, especially if they get lucky against the new ball.

 

[Zinzan]

We'll agree to disagree. He's half got his eye in now, so it's a slightly different game. As soon as he came out I would have had pace at both ends.

 

[Zinzan]

And that was beautifully bowled by Neesham.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Jimmy finds our lack of faith disturbing

 

[viriya]

SL will be happy with anything 300+ now I think. Sanga should probably start going for it when NZ take the new ball.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Don't bowl Neesham here, waste of time and nothing but free runs. Give Williamson a couple.

Double lol

Neesh for the five-for now

 

[Zinzan]

Herath can hold a bat if my memory serves. One of those very natural little cricketers.
