CWC Game #1 Black Caps vs Sri Lanka

[Chris B.]

Was just about to say that this Udana looks like he can hold a bat - made 78 vs the Jaapies. But not today!

[No Quarter]

Ferg has been superb - that was a vicious delivery. Latham too short to catch it.

[No Quarter]

Boult finally gets in on the act.

Probably the best part of this bowling effort is we haven't relied on Boult to get all the wickets.

[Jailbreak7]

Oh hahaha lol my sides these frikkin umpires are something else
Fingers were underneath the ball there

[Jailbreak7]

Last laugh to Fergie anyways

[Donsteppa]

Nice call by George Ayoub.

Ferguson gets Malinga to make it irrelevant though.

[Chris B.]

Yeah - I thought he caught that, as well.

If we end up losing by one run I'll be pissed - but, there will be a lot worse than that umpiring decision to worry about by then!

[Chris B.]

Full toss on the stumps is an under-used delivery.

Used to be a Kapil Dev speciality. Often first ball to a new batsman.

And that Boult usually backs up a poor day with a ripper

Scott Styris and Matthew Hayden both have faces for Radio commentary. Indian TV host extremely hot though.

[Donsteppa]

Very nice feature on Martin Crowe during the innings break.

[Jailbreak7]

Apart from his strange body type, Malinga looks short of pace these days
Want Guppy to go for it

Looks like he'd be as fast as anyone emptying 2 or 3 KFC Family Buckets

With that action it still amazes me anyone can actually play him at all.

Also someone needs to tell him frosted tips are sooooooooo 90s

[MN5]

Sangakara is such a cool commentator and pretty magnanimous for a genuine legend of the game

[Paekakboyz]

@MN5 a genuine GC for sure! Easy to listen to.

[Jailbreak7]

Go Munro!!

[Jailbreak7]

@MN5 I still struggle with Malinga's action being entirely legal

Let’s make the most of it before we get a summer of Aussie commentators.....and Mark Nicholas

[Crucial]

Luckily we are doing this without too much trouble as I am struggling to keep up with the TV today.
Canes, Sevens, two CWC games and the Giro all on live at the moment
