*Official* New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka 2019

[Prince EWS]

Embuldeniya still looks good. Reckon this bloke is going to be one of the best in the world soon enough. Not just one from SL's assortment of rando spinners flattered by pitches.

Totally disagree tbh. He's disappointed me every time I've watched him bowl, including today.

This is coming from the guy who didn't rate Herath until he made me though, so feel free to ignore.

He did well in SA and I watched one over before jumping the gun, ha.

50 for Ross! Nicholls looks a lot more at home.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

only 10 boundaries in 53 overs

did NZ learn nothing from the WC final?

What world cup final ... there was no world cup final.

LA LA LA LA LA LA

 

[Burner]

Taylor good

 

[trundler]

That looked pretty darn plumb. Nuggetty 42 though.

 

[trundler]

Everyone's favourite fighting keeper out there at 171-4

 

[M0rphin3]

Ah ****. Need 300+ to feel comfortable here.

That came out of nowhere though.

 

[trundler]

Bit scratchy from Ross in that over. Fun.

 

[Jezroy]

Taylor definitely showing the way to play here. Very good plan and he’s executing well.

The Killer really proving to be the big danger here. If we can stop losing wickets to him, 300+ is on.

 

[Jezroy]

BJ Watling. So out. But great nipples.

 

[morgieb]

Taylor's judging of reviews is very poor. Imagine if Watling had listened to Taylor that time!

 

[trundler]

That's the plumbest thing I've seen.

All 5 for Killa!

 

[Jezroy]

If Watling only gets out cheaply when NZ are in a strong position, that must mean this is a great score!

 

[trundler]

Taylor's judging of reviews is very poor. Imagine if Watling had listened to Taylor that time!

No post retirement career as an umpire for him then.

Reminds me of the fact Clive Lloyd became a match referee despite being the captain during GoodallGate and StumpKickGate.

BJ seemed determined to smash the cover of the ball. 2 hard pull shots in his 5 ball innnings. Worst BJ innings I have seen for years.

BJ Wat1ing

 

[Jezroy]

If he gets out for 55 I'm blaming you

Phew

 

[Jezroy]

Apparently covers came on at the tea break. No rain yet though?

 

[cnerd123]

I wonder how often a bowler has taken a wicket on the last ball of a session twice in the same innings, let alone same day.
