*Official* Sri Lanka Tour of New Zealand 2018/19

Listening to Waddle getting pissed off on the radio. Sounds like a great innings by Perera, but the fielding's pretty ragged.

good of our best fielders to all take turns dropping a catch to make newer guys like Nicholls feel less bad for their misses

Pretty tough not to cheer for Sri Lanka at this point, this is the innings of a lifetime from Perera!
Well, yeah, but Southee has just bowled an over of full tosses to him. It's bizarre.
Now Munro saved a boundry to get Perera on strike. I don't get it.

What a game. Mammoth from Perera. Very Stoinis-like.

Some things to think about for New Zealand, such as not dropping six catches (five of them easy) and not bowling full tosses to hit into the stands.

That was in the slot as well - pretty sure Perera's body just gave out in the end.

The decision making under pressure is still a problem - Munro cutting off that ball instead of letting it reach the boundary a fine example.

Southee will be averaging 35-36 by the time the world cup starts. 125kmh dross those last few overs of his.

Perera really shows up sometimes and goes on a rampage - nothing unknown tbh. What is absolutely ridiculous is Southee dishing up those full tosses to him, nearly lost the match with that over. I hope this is the last we see of him in ODIs now, shouldn't be anywhere near the ODI team.

Beast of a kncok by Perera, but phew.

How perceptions shift from two days earlier! When Henry was a spud and people were pining for Southee's return.

I get people being harsh towards Henry, but who tf pined for Southees return? AFAIK most of us were calling for axeing him, given him being truly dire
