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

I really don't think that's so necessary quite yet at 50/1 after 10. His main goal for the next 5 overs should just be to give BMac the strike, unless of course he gets some freebies.

I just mean in the power play and against guys like Perera, who has no business opening the bowling.

Make that 56. Man, it's ugly cricket but we'll take it. He's just backing down leg side and baseballing everything.

 

[_Ed_]

Golly.

 

[jonbrooks]

Cool, just saw the scoreboard. Matt Henry is playing. I enjoyed watching him bowl in the UAE. Thought he was a bit hard done after being left out of the WC squad. What happens if he gets a bunch of wickets today?

 

[hendrix]

Bugger.

 

[Zinzan]

Accck Latham...5 off 15 and more importantly a bad time to lose a wicket with McCullum going so well. Disappointing.

 

[Jezroy]

Latham and Guptill. I thought they should be the openers a couple of weeks ago. Cool story bro.

 

[jonbrooks]

Ouch, Latham gone. Man, this is not an easy wicket and McCullum's slogging might just be the difference.

C'mon Taylor!

The selectors look silly and the mouthbreathers (and Howsie) get the knives out for Mills again.

Are you kidding? The wicket looks absolutely fine from what I can see.

 

[Flem274*]

With our shortish batting line up these two need big scores.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Love Sanga getting pissed.

Not at all. Look what happens when McCullum plays orthodox shots. He can hardly hit it off the block.

A Henry 6fer and a Boult 0fer would be awkward.

If this isn't a 270-280 par wicket, I'll go hee

 

[Zinzan]

Lol @ Russell Arnold rubbing our faces in it about our frailties in the top order & enjoying doing so. Cheeky bugger

It'd still be Mills they'd go after IMO.

 

[Zinzan]

Agree, playing Henry could be a real tease.

Meanwhile one of Sri Lanka's openers averages 14.

Can Guptil get a refund of Martin Crowe?
