Why isn't BJ Watling a bigger deal than he is?
He has often swooped in to save the day when all has seemed lost for New Zealand, but the wicketkeeper-batsman prefers flying under the radar
Cricinfo article on BJ flying under the radar. Some interesting stats.

Is this the 3rd time it's been posted?

Good game so far.

This is why I can't bring myself to watch many T20s, let alone fork out money to go to one. Short of a miracle innings this game is effectively over and we are only into the fifth over.

Is this really the best T20 team we have?
Seifert is making Latham look better and better.@mimic said in Cricket - NZ vs Sri Lanka:

We need Williamson in there and our actual all rounders like Neesham or CDG. Here we have picked six bowlers - some of them can bat but I don't see why you don't drop one and pick an all rounder instead.

T20's are much more likely to be close than any other format. But I do agree. If it isn't close, it is boring. Test cricket is good to go to no matter what the state of the game - as long as you get a full day.

@hydro11 it's too reliant on the team batting first making a good fist of it. One dayers were faulted for this, but it seems worse in T20s. Pity nobody listened to me when I was suggesting they turn one dayers into four innings games.

There's quite a bit in this pitch. If we can get 130+ that will be competitive.
-
Bracewell going well...

Conversely teams can easily get back into a game. This is now going to be competitive, after struggling for the first 12 overs.

Take a fucking bow Taylor, Santner, Bracewell, Kuggelijn and Southee.
I nearly turned it off at 30 odd for 4, then again at 54/5.
Fucking Ferguson begins with a leg stump half volley which is promptly sent to the boundary.
Then his second ball is dispatched for 6.
Another great start with the ball....

Much better.
Needed that.
He’s come back really well after those first two balls!
