    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

    Just got back to check the score. So it's a typical Basin green road then??

    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

    Pick two of three from de Silva, Samaraweera and Mathews in the all time Sri Lanka xi at 5 and 6. I haven't looked it up but I suspect Mathews has the better all round record of the three...

    Worst tails ever

    I can't find a particular scorecard but I recall the early 2000s West Indies side's 9-11 would be made up of three of Collins, Collymore, Walsh, Reon King, Cuffy, Lawson, Sanford or Stuart... Merv Dillon was a regular number 8 with his average of 8.5.

    *Official* Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2022/23

    The cricbuzz descriptions seem to suggest Rajitha has turned into Mohammad Abbas (the good version)... I seem to recall Sri Lanka stuffing us at home in the mid-late 90's. They've won since then haven't they, tests not series? Was it Murali or Malinga, or both?

    At the moment just a 50 would probably be enough for that...

    Don't worry, Latham and Nicholls have got this.... Hagley oval, Sri Lankan bowlers, sure thing....

    Pick four seamers, bowl Mitchell in the 37th over... funky.

    I'd have thought Perera would have held that record...

    Nice to see Markram back. To the poster asking where he was for the Australian tour - he'd averaged about 14 in his previous 10 tests so dropping him was probably an act of kindness. I'd have thought he'd thrive more at number 4, so de Zorsi to open and Petersen at 3 seems the right option...

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    Yeah how many sides have lost after declaring in the first innings? Can't be that many.

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    Yeah, I wasn't watching till the last three overs when a colleague found his TAB stream, and I was somewhat surprised to see there wasn't a single slip in place for numbers 10 and 11....

    That really should have been called a wide. Honorary tied test,.,,,

    I can complain about his last five overs. he's had 10 balls at Leach and over half of them have been short down leg side...

    when bowling to a number 10 I think you should give yourself chance of more than one mode of dismissal, at least occasionally....

    *Official* England in NZ 2023

    hmm, you probably should lose if your only plan is to bowl six half-trackers per over.... but come on Wagner....
