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

[Maximas]

We'll be batting today, unbelievable

 

[Zinzan]

3 best batsmen chopping on. Uncanny.

 

[NZTailender]

Jesus ****. Only upside is if we bowl today SoBo could run riot.

 

[straw man]

omfg

 

[Athlai]

Pretty sure Watling's got a fair bit in the bank if we're talking Test cricket. Especially considering he's a better gloves-man than the Donkey.

By England series, I mean the end of that Test series.

 

[_Ed_]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

 

[NasserFan207]

3 best batsmen identical dismissals. Wow.

 

[Bahnz]

SRL vs the Plunket Shield engine room. It's on!

 

[Howsie]

No luck

 

[Athlai]

Southee and Boult will run wild here, but decent batting and just not having the same luck means that we need a lot more runs here.

Yes we can roll them for 150, but we could still bowl well and have Sri Lanka score 300.

Losing the toss all the time sucks.

 

[straw man]

Sri Lanka on track to do to us what we did to them in SL; lose the first of a two match series comprehensively, improve a little towards the end, learn some things and then come out in the second test with renewed determination and win against the odds.

 

[Zinzan]

NZ might as well try to score quickly. Last thing they want to do here is waste time as the pitch starts to flatten. Bash a quick 25-30 if possible and get out into the field.

 

[Jono]

For 3 of those to go on the stumps in one session is incredible. On any other day 2 of those miss and one of those bats tons up.

But bad shots are bad shots and good bowling is good bowling. Well done SL

 

[Jono]

NZ might as well try to score quickly. Last thing they want to do here is waste time as the pitch starts to flatten. Bash a quick 25-30 if possible and bowl as soon possible.

Just declare imo. SL all out 100

 

[BeeGee]

I don't see how NZ is not getting to 250 here

SL just need to bowl decently and it will happen.

 

[Maximas]

Just amazing that a wicket has yet to fall to a full ball on a greentop

 

[Maximas]

This isn't out

 

[NasserFan207]

Feel like Bracewell should just have a few swings here.

 

[Swingpanzee]

What in ****'s name is happening? Three similar stupid shots in 1 session?

 

[Maximas]

Feel like Bracewell should just have a few swings here.

But the wickets that have fallen today can pretty much all be attributed to a batsmen error, no reason why you can't score some runs batting properly if these two apply themselves
