LOL @ the field setting to that last over Dilshan bowled. Mathews or Mahela or Sanga (or all 3) should hang their head in shame.
Christ, this is what I was thinking! Was a bad enough decision to give Dilshan the over but put men around the bat ffs.

Wow, quite a scorecard to wake up to. Well done NZ, I guess, but the good ol' fashion NZ lollapse looks well and truely back to stay after taking a welcome vacation for a couple of games. Any chance NZ could bring in another specialist opener, shuffle Ronchi down the order and dump Frinks?

Something has to be done. Latham is opening for Scotland in the Yorkshire Bank 40 , I think he has only played the one game and only got a couple of runs. Is Rochi a better lower order batsman than Franklin? If so then might as well sacrifice Franklin to open, he opened a few time for Mumbai with limited success.

Also, it was great to see Vettori back, but he really shouldn't be playing yet. Looked in a lot of pain, and him playing injured could seriously shorten what's left of his career.

Well, this looks like an exciting game tstl. Well done NZ and a great fight back by Malinga and SL too.

I agree, but it's good to see we won a tight match during a collapse rather than choked for a change.

Definitely felt that we didn't deserve to win by the end of it, but I agree that it's good to get over the line.

But seriously, it was just 138 ffs

Elliott confirmed out, Vettori will try to keep Munro out of it. 30 overs of spin for notoriously bad players of it, says Mills.

No-one still in a senior position at NZC from that phase to ask Cricket Australia to put it on the plane tbh.
