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

First full ball does the trick. Well I never.

 

[Zinzan]

Wow, that was comprehensive!

 

[wellAlbidarned]

A full ball with decent seam presentation! finally.

 

[Flem274*]

rutherford misses a straight ball from lakmal.

guptill in yolo mode next test pls.

good length from lakmal though finally.

 

[Immenso]

Ken now averages more than Hamish. Bragging rights to Dad.

 

[YorksLanka]

Mitch M on a medium pace day too.

I'm sure I've seen Prasad bowl quicker though. Much quicker.

Deck looks browner already.[/QUO

Yes when he was bowling at headingley he was averaging around 83-4mph which iI think is decent..no coverage here so not sure what he is bowling at today-obviously not much going by the comments..

 

[Hurricane]

When Hamish got to 14 runs I was going to post that he was entering his danger zone. Often makes scores of 15-20.

On the pitch. I think there is a bit in it for the bowlers. Latham has been beaten 3-4 times already. The SL bowlers have released some of the pressure though with wayward deliveries.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

that innings comprehensively showed the Rutherford is still a long, long way from being a test opener, Absolutely nothing has changed.

 

[Athlai]

Big Daddy Kane is going to slay them for bowling poorly.

 

[Hurricane]

I honestly don't know if that is true. Southee and Boult would have bowled very differently.

This.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

KW is too good for these hacks.

 

[Hurricane]

Little bit of swing suddenly.

 

[Teja.]

Jesus, this innings will be an absolute buffet for an in form KW. So much garbage width on offer. Just need to bat yourself in.

 

[Athlai]

What a ****ing crowd too

 

[YorksLanka]

Looks like the change of ends worked for Lakmal..one down nine to go...

 

[Mike5181]

KW in that authoritative mood.

 

[Flem274*]

Get Eranga on. SL need 2 quick strikes then get someone who can bowl straight to go wicket to wicket to Baz early in his innings. Even though it's KW and Latham, give the spinner a spell too imo.

 

[Teja.]

How good is this Kaushal guy?

 

[viriya]

Halp! How does a US-resident watch this??

 

[Zinzan]

that innings comprehensively showed the Rutherford is still a long, long way from being a test opener, Absolutely nothing has changed.

Yup, following his brilliant hundred on debut, he's averaged 19.8 in his last 25 innings, which is dire even by NZ opening standards.
