Black Caps vs Sri Lanka

Ravindra once again looked world class until he got himself out, again. That's his biggest work on; other sides have not found any obvious weakness in his game, he just gets over confident and throws it away.

The weakness I see in his game he is getting caught on short of a length deliveries where he is getting stranded a bit and drives at it when he should leave it or play off the back foot to keep control of his shot,just a lack of judgement on length.
It gets him caught behind the wkt or square he just seems to get in to a scoring zone and needs to pull back on certain deliveries.
He has all the goods to be World Class just needs to learn to change gears at times.

With the Champions Trophy coming up I hope Young keeps his spot ahead of Conway. Williamson will likely come in for Chapman which is hard to dispute but Conway has chosen to commit to other leagues so by default he should lose his spot.

I would also like to see Bracewell come in for Phillips. I feel like Bracewell is a little more devastating with the bat and Phlllips has been pretty poor of late.

Good stuff from these Chapman and Ravindra. Chapman looks a million bucks as he often does until he gets out meekly. This could be his chance to go on and get a really big one

[Damo]

Very typical Chapman innings there. Good 50 and then gets out softly.

[Canes4life]

And Ravindra gives his wicket away again after a loose shot. If he had Kane’s patience he’d be unstoppable.

Solid innings nevertheless. Gone for 79.

Sick contribution Latham - really justifying your inclusion over Hay.....

They will both play I think. Bracewell will come in for Smith, and will bat at 7.

Disappointing finish after the start Ravindra and Chapman gave us.

[No Quarter]

Hard to say what a par score is in a 37 over match, but it feels like we've ended up with about that. Competitive, but Sri Lanka will more than back themselves to chase it down.

[No Quarter]

Needed more from Mitchell at the end there. Need Henry to smack 20 odd off this last over and then come out and roll them.

[Bones]

For a change the batsmen deliver for the most part and the tail fail for the most part and I'm still disappointed in a BCs collapse. After forty fucking years I'm still a moron.

[Bovidae]

Limped home in the end. NZ will need to get early wickets as it is hard to defend on this ground. But runs on the board...

[Damo]

We should have scored another 30 or 40.

On the other hand at this stage it looks like enough.

[Gunner]

BC’s right on top, SL imploding with 3 wickets in 5 balls to be 22/4

Smith lucky his brain explosion didn't end up costing much.

Can’t argue.

Back to the cricket, Sri Lanka no chance from here. Not with that tail.

[Rapido]

Jeez. These guys can't catch.

Although, it is only fair that ex-buckethands, now-butterfingers, Mitchell cops a drop off his bowling.
