NZ 13 for 1st Test v Sri Lanka

[bayrep]

Astle has not had a good run for a while now. I cant remember the last big score he had. Or is that we just havent had a decent test series in a while.

 

[JJ]

Oram and McCullum gone too... :shock: :shock:

Murali and Vaas....

113/6 :sto:

Fleming and Vetorri to rescue us... again...

 

[bayrep]

man its lucky we are on a home pitch otherwise I would be worried.

he did moderately ok in RSA - more a reflection of our lack of test cricket I think

I'm worried - but in reality pretty much our two best bats are at the wicket now :lol:

172/6

15/0 in the last 10 overs and they are wondering why we struggle to pull crowds to tests in NZ.

Only 1100 showed up yesterday, where are teh Cantab crickit fans!!

 

[Sanchez]

they should be targeting maharoof

Flem always goes to sleep in the 30-40's. Surprised by Vettori he usualy doesnt like being tied down, the bowlling must be spot on.

moaning that there are too many CD players in the side and not enough Cantabs!

It's test cricket, and it's tight, I have no problem with the slow rate - as long as Flem converts it to a biggish score

 

[Sanchez]

common bondy!

 

[Twizzle]

why the f**k are we watching kiwi commentators sitting around sipping their Dilmah

geez, I thought the Cricket Show was slow

 

[douglasallen91]

bloody vettori leaving martin two short of his fifty.

 

[JJ]

Shane Bond showing yet again what a class fast-bowler he is

4-22 and 2 run outs!! (on lucky, of course)

99/8

 

[sanjane]

how good is Bond...freaking amazing..if only he didnt get injured every 2-3 mths, he would already be a legend...

i hope that Sanga can work some magic...and bat with the tail the way Hussey/Steve Waugh have done in the past...

150-200 might be tough on this wicket..

And Vettori...absolutely amazing..always knew he had it in him as a batsman. Good technique and a +ve mindset.

150-200 might be tough on this wicket..

i think you could be right.

 

[JJ]

I don't think, apart from the first morning, that there's really been too much in the wicket - it's not quick, but it doesn't seem to be doing much

Abysmal batting by both lineups, and very high quality bowling by both lineups... Bond is a freak, the other NZ quicks have been very goog. Murali and Vaas were excellent too

 

[Scott]

Malinga gorne, just 1 more wicket needed.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Murali... Wtf.

 

[Sanchez]

Nz wins by 5 wickets
