He is letting us down atm. Give him another over IMO.

Sri Lanka doing a NZ. 123 for 5, that classic score.

Flem274* · 18-11-2012, 12:42 AM

Keep bouncing him. Hasn't left one yet, lets see if he's a compulsive hooker.

Difference is that Jayawardene is a proper batsman and now he's got 50 is unlikely to give it away - unlike say Flynn.

We just have to be patient, hope for a mistake perhaps from Mathews and then try to chip away at the lower order.

Jeets isn't bowling badly, but they look pretty comfortable. So glad we didn't play Astle.

As I type Mathews smokes him. WAC.

wellAlbidarned · 18-11-2012, 12:50 AM

I reckon Jaya is due his 1 innings in 100 where he doesn't completely grind our hopes into the dust. C'mon, throw it all away. The lunch table awaits.

Phuck - Bracewell.

Flem274* · 18-11-2012, 12:54 AM

Mathews could be such a good batsman. Has a few rough edges but otherwise could bat much higher than six. Looks really comfortable against pace bowling in his own half and is more a proper batsman than the archetypical allrounder. Has total guns above him though.

His bowling average is a bit jammy.

Hurricane · 18-11-2012, 01:00 AM

Bracewell is over pitching it.

Flem274* · 18-11-2012, 01:01 AM

Get Williamson to chuck a few down for the hell of it.

Or Franklin.

Bracewell has let down NZ imo, Nice counter attack from the lankans though

Bracewell's a strange case. I'm not sure he's quite up to Test standard day-in, day-out; but when he gets himself into a groove he can look world class. When he doesn't fire, he seems to be pretty toothless against decent batsmen.

He's only 22 though, so I have no doubt he will develop into a great NZ bowler, but right now he must be causing some headaches for selectors.

EDIT:
I'd probably put Southee in the same boat. NZ have a gun attack for the future in Bracewell, Southee and Boult. Hopefully they develop into consistent bowlers soon enough.
