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

[viriya]

Sanga not allowed to play his natural game.. I sense a rash drive coming like the first innings.. this next 1h passage of play can decide if this match lasts another day or not.

Not sure why Southee is going around the wicket. He looked much more dangerous when he was slanting it across the lefties. Ah that's better.

Ken Rutherford is one of the first I've heard describe Tharanga as very good.

Stoked my boy Karu got past his nervous 40s.

 

[Flem274*]

That's nice.

 

[viriya]

Called it.

Sangakarra is offically Boult's bunny

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah Sanga's got a real problem against Boult. Lovely ball though.

 

[Blocky]

Sanga just has no clue against Boult in particular.

Got to suck, he'd have come here expecting almost to tick off the 3000 runs in a calendar year, plus 12000 runs in the first test, he's walking away with a pretty heavy loss on the scorecards and a pair of failures.

 

[Howsie]

Boult gets his bunny yet again.

 

[hendrix]

I said about 5 times before the series that Boult would have Sanga's number

Not quite at Chris Martin to Graeme Smith levels but Sanga isn't having fun.

 

[Zinzan]

Boulty! Has Sangakkara on toast! Beautifully bowled, just doing enough.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Not too many players can claim Sangakkara as their bunny

Yep you can have that one.

Boult in NZ is amazing.

 

[hendrix]

Also, that footwork from Watling. Taking it in front of first slip without a dive.

 

[Blocky]

Pay Wasim Akram anything he wants to get him to come and work with Boult - there is enough similarity in the quick arm action, late swing and quickest pace - but Wasim with all of his variations, the reverse swing, the ability to get the ball to stand up off the seam - he'd be perfect to take Trent from world class with a swinging ball to just world class.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

42 overs in and he's still got it on a string.

 

[Immenso]

Would HGHs aid Craig's offspring? Otherwise no way to justify that beard ( and I'm a fan of a good beard)

 

[Howsie]

And here's Wagner. Sigh

I didn't put much weight into Sanga having issues with left arm bowling till now:
Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

4 of the 5 to get Sanga out at least 5 times in Tests are left arm bowlers: Zaheer Khan, Trent Boult, Nicky Boje, Abdur Rehman
