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

Sanga's earned the right to be aggressive.

 

[Zinzan]

Magnificent over from Southee. Very classy, just when SL were perfectly set.

 

[Maximas]

Reckon our attack today will have a real hard time defending anything under 300, even then...

 

[Greenlite]

did Styris brag about how they should have taken the power play like the other day?

The bloke is superb. Doesn't even bother sledging anymore either.

 

[Maximas]

The boundaries seem rather large at this ground

I'm glad that whole sledging thing was just a phase.

 

[Maximas]

Ahahahaha what a great time to have a nice long shot of the coms

Richardson looked like he was hating life

So you're saying you don't have to call guys ****s and scream in their face to play good, hard aggressive winning cricket?

Bugger me.

 

[hendrix]

I particularly like the "boring" comment. There's an underlying tone of utmost confidence there. He knows he's good enough to just bowl the ****s out, so he CBF.

 

[_Ed_]

Really big wicket. 300 not guaranteed now (or maybe I'm just overly optimistic).

It's almost like Donald taught Southee to sledge & then Bond explained he didn't need to bother if he bowled well enough.

Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Yeah look I'm not even worried about jinxing him anymore. Ka Kite Mahela, seeya on opening day.

Bugger me.

Just an aside, how good has the level of spirit & comradery been in recent NZ/SL & NZ/Pak series?

 

[Maximas]

Sri Lankan fans continue to await the day that Prasanna as a pinch hitter actually pays off, bring back Kula for 'nightwatchman' IMO

 

[Mike5181]

Good over, Millsy.

 

[hendrix]

The late wickets are nice but it'd be good to go back to taking wickets at the top, IMO.
