Wow NZ out to 8-1 already. Probably some value there.

Jesus ****ing Christ, I go out to grab some lunch, come back and Sri Lanka's on target for about 500.
I know Hesson's got the reputation of being very tactical, but **** me we've made some stupid decisions this tournament. Think the whole open-the-bowling-with-a-spinner is a much overused tactic these days - imo you should always be looking to take wickets with the new ball, and swing is the best way to do that. Unless the conditions really, really suit it or the opposition can't play spin, neither of which apply here.
Oh, I see we have a wicket. Yay

Should've batted Vettori above Taylor imo.

Vettori would probably get more runs than north Melbourne brownlow votes tbh

Needed to bring a seamer on against the new batsman. Vettori will just get milked and let the new batsman settle - he needs to be on a bit later when NZ are more in the game.
Presumably Franklin will be on sooner rather than later.

Sangakkara needs a few more (scoring 33 or more this innings) to become the third Sri Lankan in the game to pass 1000 T20I runs.

It's ridiculous that I knew you'd pick up on that. Either I know you too well or you're ****ness is predictable
A nice summary of how dumb we've been in this tournament: Oram beats Sangakkara outside off stump, with a slip in, then bowls a slower ball halfway down on leg stump followed by another long hop. Magic.
Meticulous is looking like meaning trying to reinvent the wheel as far as Hesson is concerned. So many out of the box and outright silly tactics in this game and Pakistan. Twenty20 is actually a lot simpler than any other form but we don't see it that way, clearly.

Also, SL's batsman are essentially too good for our mediocre T20 attack. All our bowlers are containing bowlers, with only Mills and Southee (with the new ball) looking to take wickets at all.
****ed up that potential runout I reckon. Throw not quite accurate.
... and totally wrong

Someone needs to wake Dilshan up before the required run-rate hits 10
