ICC WT20 | New Zealand v Sri Lanka | Group 1 | 31/03/14 | Chittagong

[GreenKnightRises]

Lowest score ever in T20's???

39. Holland Against SL.

 

[desi_launda]

Kane Willamson the lone man standing

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Regular spin is enough for Kiwis.

You dont seem to like NZ much....

 

[whatthewhat]

Regular spin is enough for Kiwis.

Guys like Taylor Guptill and MCCulum have been playing spin for years in the IPL, this is strange stuff, throwing wickets away by blocking, ball missing the bat almost every ball, i mean they cant touch the ball? wth?

 

[desi_launda]

haha this is the real group of death.
88 all out,39 all out and now this

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka would be delighted here

 

[Donal Cozzie]

A boundary!! Forgot what they looked like lol

 

[captainbligh]

Today your all Sri Lankan

Fully agreed.

 

[desi_launda]

: by the best kiwi batsman

 

[Justcrazy]

Do not think Anderson would have made any difference

 

[desi_launda]

Kiwis have a tendency to collapse..remember 105 all out on a phatta wicket against indian bowling?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Willi can still win it for NZ if other batsmen stays around him.

Kano showing up the IPL heroes here

 

[Justcrazy]

38 / 6 after 11

 

[Ikball]

WTH, just came back and seen scorecard, NZ 39/6

 

[Justcrazy]

If Kiwis win , Lanka would leave cricket

 

[whatthewhat]

Its one thing playing carefully, something else when they're batting like its a 5th day test wicket and they need to play out a draw

 

[Sam18696]

NZ are effectively 38/7 as Anderson has been taken to the hospital to treat his finger.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

NZ are slowly drowning here

 

[maddgenius]

C'mon Kiwis, i really wana see Kiwis facing us in the semis

 

[desi_launda]

hobbits should now go all guns blazing,no point in blocking

 

[Red Devil]

Anderson should come back to make things a little interesting.

 

[MarkCooper]

Senanayake is chucking.

 

[Poison]

39/6

Call the Saag man

 

[maddgenius]

Anderson should come back to make things a little interesting.

And to earn you few points

 

[desi_launda]

go williamson

 

[Red Devil]

And to earn you few points

Yes that too )

 

[desi_launda]

Senanayake is chucking.

definitely..open chucking

 

[Lords]

Well, Didnt expect this kind of match.

Complete anti climex

 

[whatthewhat]

Partnership

NZ need 50 runs in 5 overs and Anderson is back

Sri win by 2 runs

 

[Sam18696]

Finally a boundary

 

[MarkCooper]

Senanayake must be reported. That is the most blatant chucking in a long time.

 

[captainbligh]

Malinga showing his captaincy skills with not bowling Herath out!

 

[AJK]

Herath figures making Umar Guls 6/5 look uneconomical

 

[Sam18696]

Cmon NZ you can do it

 

[desi_launda]

is Herath bowled out?

 

[MRSN]

NZ can bounce back?

 

[Sam18696]

50 for NZ

 

[whatthewhat]

Malinga showing his captaincy skills with not bowling Herath out!

Mahela is leading the side, Malinga is just there for fun he didnt even know who is in the team

 

[MRSN]

that should have been a wide.

 

[desi_launda]

omg did matthews just bowl at 141 kmph :0

 

[GreenKnightRises]

50 up for the Kiwis

 

[Sam18696]

good over for NZ

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Game set and match

 

[Dragon]

Out

 

[MarkCooper]

Did you see the replay of that Senanayake last wicket! That is 100% a throw. CHUCK

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pathetic shot from Mills. he just should've stayed there with Willi.

 

[Dragon]

Wasn't out

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Poor umpiring

 

[WNC]

This is shambolic. Within 24 hours we'd see 3 Top 8 teams (Aus, Eng and NZ) bundled out for less than 100?

 

[maddgenius]

What a stupid shot

 

[Sam18696]

Why is it that whichever am I'm cheering for as a neutral is losing?

 

[desi_launda]

that was not out

Chuckanayake gets a wicket

 

[GreenTigers]

Mills goes for the reverse sweep, What the hell he was thinking? So stupid.

It's Kane standing between SL and win. But I guess he can't win it for NZ.

 

[MRSN]

that was the last thing Kiwi had wished for.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sliding down the Leg

 

[leatherface58]

He deserved to be out on the basis of that shot itself.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Just when you enjoy a good bowling performance, SL get back with their pathetic appealing pressurizing umpires. Sanga with his annoying appeal as if it was plumb. Did that a couple of overs back as well.

 

[Sam18696]

NZ are 51/8

No Anderson

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Williamson has to go for it now. RR above 10 for gods sake

 

[mosh101]

NZ in tatters

 

[captainbligh]

Ahahahah LOL. Malinga asking Mahela "Shall I bowl?" Good thing I guess.. Malinga doesn't have an ego.

 

[mosh101]

Malinga back in at attack

 

[mosh101]

Slower yorker to start with

 

[abdulrafay33]

I thought the captain was Malinga...

 

[AJK]

NZ Vs Spinners 6 Overs; 5 runs for 6 Wickets

 

[Sam18696]

Williamson 37
Rest of NZ 15

What about that ball to Kusal mate? NZ were appealing as if the ball came off the middle of the bat. It just happens sometimes. But I have to agree Sanga does it a bit too much.

 

[Sam18696]

I thought the captain was Malinga...

He is..
But Mahela is doing most of the job

 

[WNC]

Anderson will not bat. Lanka just need 2 more for a semi spot.

 

[mosh101]

Just bring herath back

Give him his 5-fer

 

[Sakss]

59-7 now......Can Kane take NZ through

 

[mosh101]

LOL @ malinga TRYING so hard to be the captain

 

[Sam18696]

Kane the lone warrior

 

[mithun_minhas]

You dont seem to like NZ much....

I was rooting for them until I saw McCullum throw his wicket away. Very poor from them.

Anyways, we want the best teams for the given conditions to make it to the next round.

Kiwis would not survive against Pak in the next round anyway.

With Lanka in Semis, it makes the tournament more competitive.

 

[mosh101]

Run out

 

[Red Devil]

Williamson run out

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Shambolic from NZ. I was hoping they would win but theyve killed themselves here....

 

[Dragon]

hum

 

[WNC]

What an epic fail from the Kiwis )
