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

[BeeGee]

Looked like Sanga blamed the pitch for that.

Well, that's the first time in history a batsman has blamed the pitch for his dismissal.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Class act Vettori, 0/41 off 10...

needs to be added as a fundamental law of the universe

 

[hendrix]

Milne might be injured.

 

[BeeGee]

Milne with an injury? I guess that will surprise no one.

Hey PEWS, is that $1000 bet still available?

 

[Prince EWS]

Milne with an injury? I guess that will surprise no one.

Hey PEWS, is that $1000 bet still available?

Nah, too late.

 

[Zinzan]

Wait Milne's injured? What, when, how?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

serious schadenfreude right now, Henry in the WC

yessss always wanted to use that word

 

[viriya]

Thirimanne needs to hurry up and get out.. what a waste.

 

[Zinzan]

I missed whatever happened to Milne..and only read this on cricinfo;

"Now Milne may have side strained and be out for 6 weeks or more. Playing two games in a row was only necessary due to no Henry in squad as Milne usually never plays two games in a row. How ironic. Guess we are likely to see Henry now after all ye naysayers and karma jinxers. Sigh.... S'pose if Elliott can withdraw for Neesham, Henry play well for the rest of the series and thus Milne can come back for someone else instead, well.... We will have reached our best team in a crazy, round-about way. That's what needs to happen if want to win the CWC. Tragic Milne is injured. That part need not have happened."

Did it really look that serious?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Perera really should've been batting.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

The way thiri is batting at the moment you genuinely don't want him to get out

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Mitch you idiot.

 

[viriya]

At least get a single you idiot.. try to be useful.. sigh.

That's better, get out. Did something useful for once.

 

[BeeGee]

Did it really look that serious?

Serious enough to prevent him bowling another ball in this game, speculation beyond that is just guess work. Though, of course, a side strain is bad news for a quick bowler.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Fresh Prince should be the World Cup theme song.

 

[viriya]

What pisses me off more is that I can't watch the game when Mahela is playing well in an ODI - not a common sight.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Pretty sure he wasn't trying to run that down to third man.

 

[jonbrooks]

Piss poor bowling form Mitch. When he bowled it full he got a wicket. Learn from that. If you're going to drop it short to a set batsman you're going to be punished.

 

[viriya]

And.. that was my fault.

 

[viriya]

Thisara needs to show why he's in the team here. It's definitely not for his bowling.
