*Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand, 2024–25 (ODIs / T20Is)

Bondy should be a more regular commentator. Has more brain cells than Scotty, Macca and Rigor combined

Ridiculous voice and accent though tbh. Why are Cantabrians like this

 

[jcas0167]

Bracewell will have to save us with the ball now too.

We could do with him bowling more than commentating right now along with Ferguson and Milne who are bowling in the Big Bash, we lack pace, here.

Pretty sure Milne was only bought in for first couple of games. Ferguson Milne fisher O’Rourke even Shipley back now there’s plenty of pace and none of them playing

Send an SOS for Jamieson.

Lack of pace isn't the issue today. Pathirana got smashed. But yeah fisher would have been a good shout simply for the sake of blooding in a newbie.

It's a meaningless T20, if we wanted to win this we would have picked all our first choice bowlers along with Williamson instead of a dud like Chapman.

pathirana was bowling like 50% slower balls too and barely hit his top end pace, didn't look in good rhythm

 

[thundaboult]

electric stuff from these sl openers, brilliant to watch

 

[SeamUp]

Sri Lanka are so back. Pity it's too soon for Champs Trophy. But they are top 8 material.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

This could turn out to be an embarrassing thrashing.

 

[King Kane]

Foulkes getting an introduction to the difference between international cricket standard and Super Smash standard.

He is more Martin Sneddon than Richard Hadlee.

Lack accuracy too.

???

Chapman is our best T20 batter

I'm pleased O'Rourke is being saved for the ODIs.

I hate to be that guy (actually no I love it) but I don't think a bowler has ever discovered 10kph after debuting in internationals as a fully developed adult. Yes I know the legend of bond says he gained 20kph after becoming a policeman but we don't actually have evidence of that and even if we did that means he was just really unfit, which foulkes is evidently not

He doesn't need that much anyway. maybe like 3-5kph, if that. he has a great bouncer and swings it really well. T20 is just a **** format tbh.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Why has GP done more commentating than bowling in this game ..

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Duffy has been very good tonight

 

[King Kane]

Duffy strikes, game on.

Agree. Hopefully he'll bowl now there is a lefties out there
