2nd Test: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Christchurch, Dec 26-30 2018 - NEW ZEALAND WON BY 423 RUNS

[Meth]

Raval has actually played a couple of semi-decent scoring shots today. Just never looked in complete control, aside for the full toss served up to him on his pads.

 

[Meth]

100 run lead

 

[Meth]

Well done Jeet and Tom. 36/0 at lunch is great.

 

[Meth]

50 partnership from Latham and Raval. A very valuable change of pace. NZ lead 127 and we're in control.

Is it time to talk about Ian Smith?

I've never minded Smith. Obviously, very biased. I can't stand Debbie Hockley

I used to like him but all he seems to do is talk up the future and NZ. Just think he should dial it back a bit.

Guess I'm a curmudgeon but would love Morrison and Coney to be on Sky

Danny?

 

[Meth]

Raval must still go on with it here, but this is a pretty good innings thus far. Patient. Has absorbed a lot of strike. Has played some decent shots at times.

 

[Meth]

50 up for Jeet.

 

[JJ]

Danny?

Lol no, Mystery of course

Raval right in the heart of his brain fart zone

 

[Meth]

Just figured out that this isn't Debbie Hockley. It's Leslie Murdoch. Either way, I can't stand these boring token female commentators.

Isa Guha is the best female commentator I've heard.

Has Hockley been on? She could certainly bat

Emily Drumm seems ok if a token is needed, but would have hoped we were beyond that

 

[Meth]

This is now Raval's best score in over a year.

 

[JJ]

Raval will be in awful trouble in Straya and Effrika

 

[JJ]

Just realised I haven't seen Hadlee this test. Has he been there? Haven't seen anything on his health, hope the great one is doing ok

 

[JJ]

Lol Piggy just bluntly illustrated Murdoch has no f**king clue

Murdoch "spinner will be up for grabs"

Styris "I wouldn't have thought so... we have two spinners ranked in the world top 10"

 

[JJ]

100/0 nice!!

 

[Meth]

Latham dropped
