Sri Lanka tour of NZ

[JJ]

Taylor looking horrible, and out

Elliott being Elliott

 

[vvvrulz]

Well Mr. Elliott, if you ever wanted a golden chance to prove yourself here it is.

 

[JJ]

Batting remains our Achilles heel, Taylor seems in a funk, leaving only Williamson looking solid. McCullul will remain boom or bust. With Taylor and Guptill not playing well and #5 not settled we're not in a good way atm

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Taylor is in horrible form.

The thing that really stands out is apart from Williamson none of these guys seem capable of rotating the strike.

It seems like Taylor/Guptil/Elliott scratch around and IF they get in they increase their run rate. McCullum and Anderson are often go hard or go home.

Seems like Williamson is the only one who can accumulate.

 

[JJ]

Yeah he looks a cut above the rest. They need to sort it out quickly the signs are not good

 

[JJ]

Good partnership this we're clawing our way back into it. Elliott even starting to look good

 

[shiznit]

The thing I love about Williamson is that he uses his feet against spinners... But he doesn't do it in a premeditated way where he leaves himself open to a canny bowler recognising him coming.... When Williamson moves he always looks like he's got 2 or 3 different options available to him...

Elliot is looking pretty good too actually...

 

[JJ]

Ah Elliott proves yet again he'd an illusion meh

 

[vvvrulz]

Oh dear Elliott kills it...

What a shame because he's a good player once he's set.

 

[Panther_Daz]

It is times like this where Sri Lanka need Malinga to close this out.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Sri Lanka will be minnows when Jaya and Sanga retire,there a disgrace.

 

[JJ]

Good game this v good innings by Williamson, also Elliott and Anderson who in particular is showing good maturity

 

[shiznit]

Ronchi just going beast mode!!

Pretty much finished the game off... Well done NZ...

But I reckon it would be a different story if Malinga was playing...

 

[Iafeta]

Wonderful victory. Terrific innings from Kane Williamson, yet again. He is money. Grant Elliott I thought batted in a very mature fashion in his partnership with Williamson, when they needed a level head. I think his innings will be forever underestimated, but he couldn't fail when he came out because it would have exposed the middle order without any momentum. Anderson, typical power, Ronchi, a magic finish.

Well batted lads.

 

[Hutty1986]

Great over from Ronchi, what's that now, 2-1 NZ?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Ronchi you Aussie legend

 

[Mr Angry]

Looking good for the WC.

Might check the odds.

 

[Meth]

Good win.

I thought Anderson might have blown the game with his run out. He needs to sort that aspect of his game out

 

[hineyrulz]

Sri Lanka don't have the bowlers to win a WC.

 

[Meth]

Malinga might make a difference.
