"Thirimanne is the new man.. This batting order is never ending. Two slips now "

Cricinfo :fp:

 

[thierry henry]

Yeah but if you calculate the Mitch-adjusted Heavy Ball pace that was up around 147. Wooooosh

If you add in the "he runs in hard and makes things happen" factor, it was actually a swinging yorker at 147kph

 

[thierry henry]

Bowl faster and it might carry ****

Ronchi: "well bowled well bowled!"

 

[Days of Grace]

No need to bowl Kane here. BMac loves a bit of Kane.

 

[Stapel]

I can see NZ not using James Franklin here. And rightfully so too, imho. He's not that much of a batsman either. Maybe squeeze in a proper batsman?

Franklin > Munro

 

[hendrix]

yup, especially against spin.

 

[straw man]

Ouch, not sure how much deflection that got before dropped by Ronchi.

That is a loltastic runout!

 

[Maximas]

Franklin > Munro

BJ Watling could easily come in for either though

 

[BeeGee]

Williamson's runout attempt.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Ha! I haven't seen that since primary school cricket.

Terrible running though. Just gave up.

 

[hendrix]

that was Sangakkarra's fault.

 

[Stapel]

Franklin > Munro

Based on what do you think so?

 

[BeeGee]

Elliot is the batsman, but he's injured.

 

[Bahnz]

Kane needs some practice at effecting run outs.

 

[thierry henry]

jeez, bit reckless from Sanga

 

[Maximas]

Sanga's had enough I think, Thisara could blow this game open

 

[Mike5181]

Sanga looks angry

 

[thierry henry]

If it was anyone else you'd call that strange batting. But since it worked and it's Sanga, I guess it was the right thing to do.
