1st Match - New Zealand v Sri Lanka

[Pratters]

3 AM. Up. Might be rains but that's what makes a true cricket tragic.

 

[Jimbo the giant]

Why no Mills love? He would still be my first pick behind Southee.

A few reasons he hasn't played enough cricket lately and the others compliment each other better. He's still good with the new ball. I don't dislike him just my opinion. He can still do a good job given the opportunity.

Haven't made a single pancake yet. Rough start.

Drizzles of maple syrup forecast though, should clear up quickly

 

[YorksLanka]

Interesting that thisara left out for us...hope the weather holds..

 

[Cabinet96]

No Mitch or Mills.

 

[BeeGee]

NZ team as predicted.

 

[GGG]

Surprise surprise McCullum loses the toss.

 

[Mike5181]

Is there only a 15 minute buildup for the game on SKY?

 

[anil1405]

Surprise surprise McCullum loses the toss.

Being the home captain, he should have tossed the coin instead of calling it

 

[BeeGee]

Coney on the radio!

 

[Howsie]

FMD, so no television buildup I see. How awesome.

 

[Meridio]

Well there's a surprise, we've lost the toss. Don't really mind batting first though, it's been our strength recently.

 

[anil1405]

No Thisara.

 

[BeeGee]

Haven't made a single pancake yet. Rough start.

No rumpy pumpy for you tonight.

 

[Mike5181]

Athlai's offline now, so he's getting those pancakes done.

 

[Howsie]

Why no Mills love? He would still be my first pick behind Southee.

He's a spud.

I think this is the best team New Zealand can field, I just hope we give Milne a decent leash. No point picking him and dropping him for the next game.

 

[straw man]

on!

 

[Jezroy]

Oh my lord. I just got flutterbys.

 

[Zinzan]

I'm glad we're batting first. Cold weather isn't that conducive to swing.

 

[Prince EWS]

Lets go New Zealand!
