Cricinfo.com has him on 100, sounds like Murali is quite the idiot. Did the Sri Lanka's kick up a fuss or just walk off?
No they walked off. There was nothing controversial. It was a run out. The dressing room was cursing so much though...I caught Jayasurya lip syncing 'What the **** just happened?'

That whole going to congratulate someone else and being run out has happened before recently hasn't it? Will now drive me mad trying to think who it happened to...

It happened recently in Zimbabwe, during the Tri series between New Zealand, Zimbabwe and India I think. It may have been Harbhajan Singh who as the guilty party but I can't quite remember. Anyway it was a very well deserved century for Kumar Sangakarra, he batted quite beautifully throughout and really combined well with Lasith Malinga and Muttiah Muralitharan.

So now New Zealand have to chase 119 to win the game, a tough ask against a good bowling attack. Hopefully Jamie How and Craig Cumming can play well and form a decent partnership at the top.

I think in Zimbabwe, NZ did the same thing about a year ago.

It was mostly Murali's fault, but why the hell did the umpire start walking in? The ball wasn't dead. And he shouldn't have signalled for Murali to get back in his crease either, that's interfering in play.

Still, Sanga... what a bloody champion.

That's the second lowest total ever to have a player score a century in it. Brilliant.

Congrats to Kumar. A fine innings and one of my favourite players.


Cumming got a life after being caught off a no ball and is getting really stuck in, at the moment.

Why go and sit in a cold stand with a bunch of sheep-worriers when you can stick a box of beer in the fridge and watch it in the comfort of your own home. You can see exactly what's going on and get replays, commentary, not having to worry about parking, paying to get in, expensive food and drinks, no replays so that the umpires don't look like fools (let's not start on that old argument). Test cricket is perfect television sport IMO.

How seems to be lucky here. Racing to 9.

I wonder if he can beat his highest test score. A mammoth 37...

haha. Another catch off a no ball. Some bad batting by Cumming there. Unlucky SL but at the same time, stop bowling no balls ffs.


Edit: Cumming apparently caught 3 times off no balls so far.

Ouuucch.
