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

Meh. I'd rather he bowled slower with more control and more ball movement. He'd take a lot more wickets.

no reason why he can't have both. We've got plenty of 130 swing bowlers with good control, why try turn him into another?

 

[Zinzan]

Now will McClenaghan continue the tight work or will he immediately spray it around at 5.5-6 per over?

 

[Binkley]

Will be interesting to see how McClenaghan goes given the springiness of this pitch.

 

[Flem274*]

This is a Mitch pitch imo. Even though it's slow bounce, it will be hard to score off him with control.

Also a Mills pitch.

Or 8 per over....

 

[Flem274*]

Unless you do that

 

[wellAlbidarned]

cbf checking but I assume Jaya's ODI record in the last few years is significantly better than his career record

 

[Flem274*]

Anderson is nailing his areas atm for the first time I've seen in ODIs

He has regained 5 clicks from his injury riddled youth too

that over looked like a bowler rather than a semi part timer

 

[hendrix]

Mitch has been rubbish lately.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

I wish I could barely jog in and bowl 135kph like corey

 

[Flem274*]

Mitch doesn't look confident

 

[wellAlbidarned]

oh mitch

 

[Bahnz]

Argh, so close.

Spray it around and miss a stumping.

About the same....although I suspect his SR would have been better in the last few...

 

[Zinzan]

So is McClenaghan officially the most unco blackcap?

 

[Flem274*]

It would be good if we play a couple of games in Aussie before we have to. I don't want us being the only team getting used to Australian conditions come the knock out games.

Can't see that happening. Where do you fit it in? Isn't our only prospect of playing there if we make the final (or draw the semi against Australia if they have more points)?

My understanding is the knockout games we make will be played in NZ, except the final and possibly knockout games we play Aus.
