*Official* Match 38 - New Zealand v Sri Lanka

[BeeGee]

SL win toss and bat.

Bennett in for Mills.

 

[Hurricane]

who's in for Vettori

 

[_Ed_]

They've stuck with Williamson, which I'm very happy about.

 

[BeeGee]

who's in for Vettori

Williamson. It's the same team as played Canada, with Bennett in for Mills.

 

[BeeGee]

That's the best XI New Zealand could pick imo.

They've stuck with Williamson, which I'm very happy about.

If Simon Doull's pitch report is correct (and it's a big if), it might be a good toss to lose.

 

[_Ed_]

The Sri Lankan national anthem is fantastic! Wish they were all that upbeat.

 

[Hurricane]

It was very un traditional

 

[_Ed_]

Ugh. Bad start from Southee. Hope he sorts out his line soon.

EDIT: That's better.

 

[_Ed_]

Styris warming up already? Interesting.

 

[Hurricane]

Dilshan to ton up - we need to bowl at middle and leg stump not outside off.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Never thought I'd see Oram opening the bowling again. Hopefully he makes me eat my words.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Great first over. Guess he might still have what it takes.

 

[_Ed_]

Unlucky.

It just doesn't feel right taking wickets that way.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Bounce, pace, carry, movement. Liking what I see of this pitch.

EDIT: **** yeah. We'll take it.

 

[BeeGee]

Unlucky, but we'll take it.

 

[Spark]

Another run out? Has everyone been afflicted by the Watson curse today?

 

[Athlai]

Haha gun.

 

[BeeGee]

Bounce, pace, carry, movement. Liking what I see of this pitch.

Looks like Doull got it right.

 

[Bahnz]

Looks like a beautiful track for Oram. Bounce and movement, he could be tough with the new ball.

 

[Athlai]

Crazy bounce really. Oram bowling grenades.
