1st ODI New Zealand v Sri Lanka December 26 2015

[Iafeta]

I would say because without Kane Williamson, there really isn't a 6th bowling option so McCullum can't rely on McClenaghan and wants to get him through some overs.

 

[Iafeta]

Monica Seles really isn't up to it. The louder the grunt it appears the bigger the pie.

 

[Meth]

Piss off McClenaghan

 

[Iafeta]

The debutant must be feeling like a sack of 2 year old milk at the moment, dropped Siriwardana, an absolute dolly, while on 10.

 

[Iafeta]

A bit of nip play behind the commentator bird there

 

[Iafeta]

Phil Jones the umpire isn't having a great day. Wanted to check upstairs on one that went over the boundary rope by about 7 metres, after missing a clear as day outside edge earlier in the day.

 

[Iafeta]

Vital wicket. That was getting a touch ludicrous.

 

[Meth]

What a catch from Ronchi

 

[Iafeta]

That was a great grab indeed by Ronchi.

 

[ANTiLAG]

What a catch from Ronchi

Oh wow. Great catch.

 

[ANTiLAG]

How bad was the Nicholls drop? I have the innings recorded.

 

[Iafeta]

Wow. That shot is the one the coach plays in the morning before play to give slip catching practice. Horrible from Mendis. Horrible.

 

[Iafeta]

How bad was the Nicholls drop? I have the innings recorded.

It was hit down to deep midwicket, he'd got there, and then, and I'm not sure why, he dropped to his knees and instead of taking a straight forward goober it bounced out.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Another top order batsman outplayed to the careful movement generated by Mitch McWickets use of the seam.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

I see McClenaghan is picking up his usual late innings/tail end wickets to keep the average down. Still can't get that economy under 6 though.

Runs will leak when he bowls that 132k heavy ball and bowls "aggressively".

Corey Anderson when fit can bowl that crap and can bat. Bye bye Mitch.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Reckon Chameera might bowl a Mitch length this afternoon at 140-145+ clicks.

 

[Meth]

McCullum and Guptill looking to finish it off quickly

 

[Twizzle]

off to a flyer, as Bill would say

 

[Meth]

McCullum 50 off 23
