Whoever thought it was a good idea to open with Nathan McCullum given what happened in NZ's innings really needs to be shot. He's not even spinning it away either. Stupid.

Lankans don't usually worry about spin. Odd the kiwis allowed them to get off to a flyer by opening with it.

The decision to use McCullum first up was clearly made before the game. We have made so many dead-**** decisions in this tournament

The approach has been all wrong, too much mickey mouse stuff with Nathan McCullum and lots of slower balls. You bowl properly first, then you go to the variations. In T20 you should aim to take 3 wickets in the first 6 overs.

Looks like 40 short at this stage.
We just have to accept our bowlers are all likely to get spanked by top-class hitters, and SL have two of them out there right now. Southee and Vettori are probably our best and look what a pasting Southee is getting so far.
