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

[Athlai]

Haha your not on a 100. Put the helmet back on and smack another.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

well this is awkward

 

[Adgey]

LOL, McCullum looks embarssed to do double celebration

 

[Athlai]

McCullum your form is incredible. Such a master of classic hundreds.

 

[Zinzan]

Yes! Perfect boxing day present.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Damn but McCullum has hit some superb hundreds this year.

 

[viriya]

Well that bowling first idea didn't work now did it.

 

[Zinzan]

Nice bowling that, but little doubt in my mind the guilt of the Taylor run-out affected Williamson, even in spite of McCullum's domination.

 

[Cabinet96]

That was Vaughanesq where you finish the shot in the shape of a perfect forward defence but no longer have an off pole.

 

[Athlai]

The Williamson dismissal just makes me happier about the McCullum innings. Boult, Southee and Wagner are going to rip through them.

 

[dfrinku]

Ha, I changed the channel from the Aus match and BMac was raising his bat and helmet and I just assumed the scoreboard hadn't ticked over to 100 yet. That guy is just in the zone right now. So good to watch,

 

[Zinzan]

I've never seen an NZ batsman in such ridiculous form

If we're talking form & clean hitting in an innings, he's still behind Astle. But for a run of form, no doubt.

 

[Cabinet96]

So in 2014 McCullum has hit NZ's highest test score and their fastest test ton. Twice.

 

[BeeGee]

Watling batting above Neesham. Finally.

Nope.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

So in 2014 McCullum has hit NZ's highest test score and their fastest test ton. Twice.

I guess next up is Astle's fastest double hundred record.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

If we're talking form & clean hitting in an innings, he's still behind Astle. But for a run of form, no doubt.

"I've never seen" were the key words. I was too young to really get cricket when Astle was in his prime.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah I do too. Even with the pitch browning the bounce & carry will suit our lads.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah I do too. Even with the pitch browning the bounce & carry will suit our lads.

I was a bit disappointed we didn't bowl first, not because I wanted us to get a massive lead because of the grass but because I've missed watching our lads bowl in home conditions.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

can someone explain what that is on Doull's head? It can't be his hair

 

[kiwiviktor81]

If that Williamson dismissal is any indication, Southee and Boult are going to be murder on this pitch.
