*Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

[Binkley]

If Nicholls gets a century here, does that mean Macewell is going to bowl us to victory?

 

[Meridio]

Williamson practically purring here. Looks like he's playing against club bowlers.

 

[Flametree]

Just got back to check the score. So it's a typical Basin green road then??

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Tough being a Black Caps fan: mad when our team does bad, mad when our team does well

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Nicholls ton! Locked in until 2065.

 

[NZTailender]

If Nicholls wants to repay the faith he basically needs to average 50-55 from here on out. Another 10 matches of averaging <20 would be such a waste of time

Well done Henry, should keep some of us quiet for at least a few more days.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

100 for HN.

Big congrats to him. Real shame for Young, Phillips, Ravindra, and Foxcroft though.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Well done Henry, should keep some of us quiet for at least a few more days.

Wrong

Williamson now has cracked 300* unanswered runs against Sri Lanka since his last dismissal.... 121* not out last test match & now 179* not out here.

Not yet the triple century some hoped for but it's done good for his average

 

[Fuller Pilch]

300 run partnership.

Kane averaging over 55. Needs a red inker or 231 (out) to stay that way.

 

[ashley bach]

Declare 20 mins before stumps after Kane's 300.

 

[Days of Grace]

The 300 may be on here. But still unlikely because most captains would like at least 30 minutes with the new ball at the end of the day. He’ll need to really motor along after tea. Won’t get a better opportunity.

 

[Darwin Award]

More history beckons for Williamson: If he gets to his double century he'll be the first batsman in test history to hit at least 1 double century in 5 consecutive years.

Lara achieved it on 4 consecutive occasions and amazingly they all occurred in his last 4 years of playing.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Haha that's a pretty cool stat

 

[Athlai]

I'm beginning to think this Williamson fellow is quite good.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Apparently this is the first test since 1997 (perhaps the test before Vettori's debut unless O'Connor or Allott were playing) that NZ hasn't picked a left-arm bowler in its attack.

NZ can't win the Test championship. If the Test results in a draw it is still a series victory for NZ.

Let him go for 400.

 

[Athlai]

Big daddy Big daddy

Brian Lara here we come baby.
