1st Match - New Zealand v Sri Lanka

[Zinzan]

Arnold is way too much of a homer for me to enjoy him as a commentator.

Why you hating?

Without necessarily hating, I also find Arnold's voice coupled with his smugness a touch boring, annoying & predictable. A novelty that's worn off.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Angelo could be good value here.

 

[Prince EWS]

It must be said, this is some very tame bowling. You could only imagine the problems Southee and Boult be causing in these conditions.

Tame is their thing though; it works a lot of the time. They should be more worried about how many pies they've bowled than the 'tameness'.

 

[viriya]

On the plus side for Angelo, he can't avoid bowling his 10 by giving his buddy Thisara some overs to bowl pies this time around.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Someone should have gifed Dilshan playing with his balls.

 

[Howsie]

Tame is their thing though; it works a lot of the time. They should be more worried about how many pies they've bowled than the 'tameness'.

Yeah, was more meaning they're bowling way to many pies haha.

 

[viriya]

Dilshan not being fully fit is just the final nail on the SL coffin.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Matthews is the first bowler to get any real movement today. Kula was totally gun-barrel which makes me a bit worried about boult since he's quite similar (obviously a couple of yards quicker though)

 

[Athlai]

Got that one all wrong.

 

[Cabinet96]

This is village from the GOAT.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Jesus this is some real garbage.

 

[Jarquis]

Need a wicket, quick.

 

[Athlai]

Oh **** yeah. Smasssshed.

 

[Gnske]

Malinga does know the ball is meant to land on the pitch?

 

[straw man]

Nice from McCullum, make it a 70 at least plz. Also great to see Guptill taking a few singles.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Malinga isn't just undercooked, he hasn't even finished defrosting yet

 

[Prince EWS]

Taste that icing Lasith.

 

[Pothas]

Indeed. Smaller the better.

It is way too central as well.

What are your watching plans for this? You going all the way through?

Got work at 12 so this is not really an option for me.

 

[nevermind]

Hahaha, yes Baz yes

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Carnage.
