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

Not good enough Luke. You too twice as many deliveries as AB did the other day! ;-)

 

[Flem274*]

well batted boys, now skittle them.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

The sweat dripping of Ronchi's helmet.

 

[jonbrooks]

We have good bowlers also.

We'll see. SLankans will go great guns that's for sure. Fielding might be the difference.

 

[Zinzan]

93-5 in the 20th over to finish 354/5. Best innings comeback in ODI history? Trying to think of a better innings turnaround.

 

[Prince EWS]

Phlegm, is Lakmal going for 0/93 off 10 worth the Ronchi humble pie you have to eat?

 

[Prince EWS]

Guptill: officially under more pressure to be replaced by Latham than Elliott is now?

 

[Jono]

what in the world

 

[Swingpanzee]

that's incredible

Should hope so.

I've nver doubted Ronchi's ability at 7

if you truly want to nail my hypocrisy google search "Samantha McIntosh".

0/100 would have been nice though.

Luke Ronchi now has a higher average and much higher strike rate than Gilchrist.

 

[Blakey]

How much do we think this innings has made Ronchi when the IPL auction begins?

 

[Athlai]

Fair dinkum.

$0, wasn't against India.

Jesus!

Went away at 150/5 hoping we might scrap our way to 275. Is this the biggest ever partnership for NZ in an ODI? What about the pitch? Is it playing much more easily than it was this morning, or where Ronchi and Elliot brilliant/Sri Lanka rubbish?

Biggest ever partnership for anyone in an ODI.

Not quite, J Marshall and B McCullum's 274 still the record I believe.

This is now the 7th highest of all-time for any team and any wicket though.

 

[Athlai]

Na, highest for the 6th wicket yeah but the highest ever is Tendulkar + Dravid's 331 vs. NZ in 1999.

India recovering from 17 for 5 to 266 for 8 vs Zim in the 1983 WC will always be the gold standard IMO. This one is certainly up there, anyway.
