One of the worst, most technically-inept innings I've ever seen by a supposed top-order player.

Fantastic innings. Beaten multiple times through lack of technique - I suspect he deliberately struck it to mid-on as admission of his ineptness.

Nicol pretty much stuffs NZ from the start doesn't he?

The selectors are probably the ones who think McCullum would be better served at 3.

And now Taylor's almost run out without facing a ball! What the **** is going on out there?

Wow, SL commentator is surprised that Williamson's batting "as high" as number 5.

To be fair to him, though, Williamson has slid down the order quite frequently lately.

I don't understand how Perera takes wickets. He bowls 130km medium pacers on a length with little movement. It delights me his Test record is so poor.

And that's even better.

Jeepers. This is calamitous.

**** it. I'm off to bed.

Christ, completely clueless. No wonder glorified part-timers like Astle are able to average 30 in the Plunket Shield.

Jeevan Mendis is considered a batsman who bowls in Sri Lanka - or at best a "batting allrounder" - which I've always found interesting because after watching a fair bit of him (batting and bowling) I'm quite convinced he'd be coached and selected as a specialist bowler in Australia. He'd give our Test squad a shake even if he batted like Chris Martin, but he just sends down a few in comparison to the rest of the spin stocks in Sri Lanka, even domestically.
