New Zealand v Sri Lanka: 3 ODI's, 1 T20. January 2019

I hope we see Taylor rip out some of that slog now

 

[Meth]

Perera must hate seeing Neesham at the crease

 

[Meth]

250 up. Looks like they'll get 300+. On track for 320-340 if they keep going and I think that's too many runs with Southee in the side.

 

[vvvrulz]

Sri Lanka badly need to break this, there's not much left really: Seifert, Six&Out Southee and then tail.

They *could* get a good roll and keep NZ under 300 if they get one of these two fast.

 

[vvvrulz]

Malinga put on a death bowling clinic in that over.

 

[vvvrulz]

Taylor runs himself out, a poor couple of overs and they could well keep them under 300.

 

[Meth]

A fitting way for Taylor to go. He's been pushing himself between the wickets today. A much needed innings.

On another note, how good is it to see a 35 year old paceman get the pyjamas on and deliver canny bowling. Could be influential in the world cup.

Great to see him, for sure- but he's not the same threat he once was. 'Canny' is a great description.

Lost a yard of pace, won't bowl a lot of guys out like before.
But still hard to get away and cheap overs are valuable in today's age of giant totals.

 

[Meth]

Neesham gets his 50.

Comeback complete

 

[vvvrulz]

Neesham to 50, playing himself right back into this team.

 

[Meth]

300 up. 2 overs to go. You'd have to think we're looking at 320+

Neesham's HS is 74

 

[vvvrulz]

Neesham gone now which could dent that 320, great work to run him out from his own bowling.

Southee will be guaranteed entertainment.

 

[vvvrulz]

Thisara having an absolute mare and 315 is up with four balls to go

 

[Meth]

319 is the total.

Nice cameo from Seifert.

4 run outs in the innings

 

[vvvrulz]

If Sri Lanka batted like they did last time they'll get there, but Southee coming back is a huge factor.

Nicholls drops his lollies!

Gunithilaka is going on with it at the moment.
