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

[Bahnz]

**** this is brutal bowling. that one would hurt

Tbf That wasn't even that short or directed at the body Herath took his eye off it and ducked right into it.

 

[dermo]

Urgh. Can someone give him a lid with the neck protection please?

honestly makes me sick watching people get hit there, would really like to see those neck guards be made mandatory

 

[hendrix]

tail bowling comes third after two openers and spin bowling imo

I'm not talking specifically about tail bowling.

I'm talking about getting wickets on flat decks with a Kookaburra that's no longer swinging. Sometimes that's with a spinner, sometimes that's with a genuine fast bowler, sometimes it's with an exceptional line and length merchant and drying up the runs. Aus is the best team at this, NZ is one of the worst.

 

[Bahnz]

Solid bowling but I wouldn't mind seeing a yorker slipped in every now and then.

 

[Cabinet96]

Ridiculous that he's now got a helmet with a reinforced grill and the neck protection when he went out without one. Surely there aren't many benefits to wearing a helmet which offers less protection than possible/adequate?

 

[Athlai]

Southee: have I earned the right to be aggressive

 

[Jono]

Oh man great catch for 6

 

[Bahnz]

Bugger, Braces should've got that.

 

[Cabinet96]

You kind of expect the guys to take those ones all the time now, but I imagine it's pretty hard just catching it given the wind.

 

[Jono]

thats a good ball. well deserved

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Decent plan that.

 

[Flem274*]

looks like he slipped on the grass more than anything. probably a bit wet.

 

[Bahnz]

Yes, Wagz so deserved that. That bit of bastard in his bowling really adds to the attack.

 

[Athlai]

Good spell from Wagner. This is what he offers this attack.

 

[hendrix]

Yeah I've enjoyed Wags in this match

 

[Stace]

BJ will be gutted he didn't catch that and get closer to the NZ record.

 

[Flem274*]

I've missed Wagner's sound effects.

"carrr eeeeeee warrrhhhhhhhhhhh"

 

[Athlai]

Hearth CBF mode engaged?

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah the fun will start with Herath now.

Ian Smith: "Chameera, feisty bast bowler"

would have been so good if he'd completed what he was going to say.
