Go Franklin! He played well in the last 20/20 game. Come on Taylor.

Bugger, hopefully Astle fires, Taylor sounds all at sea according to Cricinfo. The rest of the batting lineup doesn't inspire me with confidence.... Don't know what adam's form with the bat is like at the moment.

Fleming and McCullum played well but the decision to send James Franklin in at #3 was quite confusing, both him and Ross Taylor got into a lot of trouble with the sweep shot. Marshall proved how useless he was and Peter McGlashan didn't look very good, lucky to be in the squad through Hopkins injury. Both Astle and Adams batted okay but I expect Ross Taylor and Jeetan Patel to get through a few overs with the pitch playing quite slow and low.

I dont have concern with Franklin coming at No.3m . had anyother batsman had come instead of him, Nz would have been trouble earlier. Do remember that no one is at good nick other than Franklin , fleming and McCullum. Franklin's choice to come #3 is not bad. Good thinking.

162 a pretty average score, should get this easy. I think Franklin showed that you need batsmen to win you Twenty20 matches not lower order sloggers, you need to play proper cricket shots.
I quite like it it's action packed and explosive with the right batsman and bowlers involved and it at times can really come down to the wire. Sri Lanka really looking good lately and been some really good cricket all round. New Zealand just letting their selves down a bit on more than one occasion

I kept changing the channel, and only looking back to see the scores (bet on SL when they went to $2.50, even then it was a nothing bet to try and get me interested, still didn't work).pasag said:
I was in the toilet and overheard the commentary near the end, and honestly the way they were talking and the fact there was no celebration or anything loud from the players, I just thought a dot ball happened. When I came out I realised a wicket had fallen. No one cares when a wicket falls.
