Cricket - NZ vs Sri Lanka

[ACT Crusader]

Catches win matches.

[Mokey]

We win, and I'm almost disappointed.

[Higgins]

Phew, at last a catch is taken

[Gunner]

They fucking caught one!!!!!

Well batted Perera.

BCs need to take a long hard look at their bowling and fielding, that was so far below par it wasn’t funny.

[ACT Crusader]

@Gunner or perhaps Sri Lanka aren’t as bad as their ranking suggests, especially on these smaller ovals.

It was a good contest and both teams came under pressure. Good to get the win.

I thought Sodhi bowled really well. A huge reason for why we had them on the ropes at 128/7.

Very true, I forgot about him after all the carnage I just witnessed...

Note to Tim Fucking Southee.

The Fucking Defintion of Fucking Insanity is Fucking Doing the Same Fucking Thing Over and Fucking Over and expecting a different Fucking result you Fucking DUMB fluffybunny.

And YES note the Fucking Capital Letters you FUCKING IDIOT.

4, four, FOUR! Fucking sixes off full Fucking tosses before you worked it out you FUCKING RETARD.

[Gunner]

Perera looks bloody chuffed with himself and so he should after that knock and nearly winning the game on his own.

[Damo]

I have been a Southee fan for a while, but I reckon he's finished in limited overs cricket. Rubbish bowling from our top line bowler.

[kev]

@Damo that’s just stupid. It’s his first game of one day cricket this season. These are the games where you want bowlers trying to bowl length balls in pressure situations.

And keep trying them when the opposition is eating them for breakfast?

[Godder]

The problem with attempting to bowl yorkers is that it's a fine margin between yorkers and half-volleys.

[kev]

@booboo it’s about execution not the strategy. They were trying to bowl wide yorkers. Practise for the World Cup - all of our bowlers got done at the end because they missed but you want them to go through that experience.

[MN5]

140 off 74 balls is a ridiculously good innings.

[Siam]

@Godder that's like excusing hookers who can't throw into a lineout.

The only plausible answer is:

Practice till you fucking can! It's your job, what you're paid well to do!

Or halfbacks who can't pass or commentate

If this was a one off then that would be a reasonable comment.

However he's been rubbish in ODI's for the last couple of seasons now. He doesn't take wickets consistently at the top of the innings, and he doesn't bowl well at the death.

[Godder]

@Siam If it were that easy, everyone would do it, but very bowlers can drop the ball on the penny every ball, and even those who can get mauled by batsmen who move out of their ground a little, giving them the ability to move forward or back as the ball is being bowled, changing the length to a full toss or half volley.
