T20 World Cup - NZ v Sri Lanka

[LABCAT]

Philips hitting quite a few balls that would be wides if he let them through.

[No Quarter]

Phillips is the only player that's managed to find any timing to tonight, thank fuck they dropped him twice

[Canes4life]

Should get atleast 160 from here which will put us in a great position. I think losing our top three for pretty much nothing could be a blessing. We know what Allen and Conway can do when they get going, hopefully Williamson can spark his game. With Phillips and Mitchell behind them we have a beautifully balanced top 5 IMO. Hopefully we can put it all together in the playoffs.

[No Quarter]

That's some innings from Phillips

[Canes4life]

Awesome innings by Phillips.

[hydro11]

Yeah some innings. Sri Lanka will be ruing that drop. None of our other hitters have found the middle.

[Tim]

Brilliant innings under tough conditions.

[Canes4life]

Does anyone know who we will likely face in the quarters, or is it a bit of a lottery at this point?

[No Quarter]

Fuck that's a good shot from Santner

That is pure class. Harry Potter making it look easy.

[ARHS]

Wonderful innings Phillips. Very entertaining. Made Sri Lanka pay dearly for the dropped catches

[No Quarter]

Well after 15/3 that's a good total, but well getable if one of the Sri Lanka s gets going. Early wickets key.

[Damo]

Not sure about a suicide runout to get Sodhi back on strike when Santner just hit one for 6.

Nice innings from Phillips. I think that total will be competitive. Only Phillips looked at all comfortable out there.

Is Foster coaching this crew now?

No. But despite the crazy wet weather in OZ they managed to transport the dry powder from Melbourne to Sydney.

Looks like the dry powder was in a tin labelled Glenn Phillips!!!

Some innings that - and promisingly, there were quite a few balls that completely deceived him. Hopefully, that continues.

No quarters, only semis. We will probably be playing South Africa or India.

[Donsteppa]

Great innings by Phillips. At one stage I thought we were going to struggle to get to 140 there.

Here's hoping that we field a lot better than they did.

If we beat Sri Lanka and Ireland of course.

Thanks for clarifying.

That was some beautiful bowling by Southee. Set him up perfectly.

Yes lets not count our chickens.

Woohoo. Great start.
