1st Test: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Wellington, Dec 15-19 2018 - MATCH DRAWN

[Meth]

Ready for de Grandhomme now

Apparently we could jump to no2 in the test rankings if we win both tests. Just in time for India to refuse playing a test match in NZ.

2 seems bloody high but with the win over Pakistan it's hard to argue with - I'm still over the moon about that.

Have to make sure they get the job done here... weather could I expect be an issue

I think we're sitting about right at 4, but I won't argue with a bump up the rankings. Would make us the Joseph Parker of world cricket though

It's Levers time.

Agree, guess I'd say 1. India 2 RSA then perhaps us. But the Pakistan win was a once or so in a lifetime thing

With Colin is all core and forearms

Never seen an Ump tell the batsman where they can and can't stand, is it a new rule or something???

Karunaratne playing some good shots now

I know Wagner has over 150 test wickets but I still reckon he is as average AF.

 

[hineyrulz]

No ball lol.

 

[Meth]

CDG, you bloody idiot

 

[Meth]

[JJ]

He's strange for sure. He takes a while to get into his work and is big average if he tries to bowl normally

this looks like a suburban ground, lots of grass to sit around, not many stands

He just seems to continually bowl short and gets the batsman to strangle themselves time after time again. I suppose it keeps working for him but you have to wonder about the mentality of batsman these days.

Looks like a suburban playing surface too...
