Cricket - NZ vs Sri Lanka

[Cyclops]

The worry with tail wags like that is whether it means our top order just made a dog's breakfast of it, or whether it was genuinely good bowling. Often you see 'recoveries' that still result in 8 or 9 wicket wins.

[Gunner]

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....

[Donsteppa]

Ferguson backs up the lower order batting by starting with two complete pies...

[Donsteppa]

Much better.

[Gunner]

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

[Gunner]

He hit 150 clicks with that last ball too.
Good to see.

[Donsteppa]

Need to get some wickets, because otherwise the buffet servings will see this total run down in 14-15 overs at this rate.

[Gunner]

Fuck our opening bowling is a worry, SL sending it around the park with ease..... again.

[westcoastie]

Swear to god if we take Southee to the World Cup, its a fuckin' wasted spot.
Not fast enough, not smart enough to mix it up.
Liability.
Its a bridge too far.

[Mokey]

These guys do remember they are defending 179 not 300+, right?

Also what the fuck has happened to Guptill?

[westcoastie]

Ferguson came back well after those first two balls to open the innings. Second over was a thinking over. Nearly created two catch opportunities. And how good is the difference in his slower ball (124km) v. fast over (150km+)

[No Quarter]

Well they're making short work of this. Def a good toss to win, was doing a bit early in our innings but now the sun has set it's gotten pretty easy.

Will have to bowl well from here.

[Donsteppa]

Kuggeleijn’s day so far!

[hydro11]

Good chance here just have to take regular wickets.

[Gunner]

We’ve got to just keep chipping away with wickets now after the start SL got.

Come on Doug.

Hahaha fuck yes!!!!!!

[Donsteppa]

Classic. The guys who save the day with the bat now kick in with the ball.

[Donsteppa]

Both ‘set’ batsmen gooooone too.

[No Quarter]

Perera the big threat now.
