[NZcricketfan]

Nz conditions a containing spinner to back up the pacers is what you want

 

[McGarrett]

Mahela got lucky there.

 

[Thivagar]

)

 

[McGarrett]

Now its time to make 'em pay for that mistake

 

[IAJ]

Mahela in teriffic form

 

[McGarrett]

Yep :

 

[Thivagar]

Mahela

 

[McGarrett]

They almost stopped that boundary

 

[McGarrett]

1 slip. Time for the late-cut

 

[Thivagar]

Darn these NZ players

 

[McGarrett]

Darn these NZ players

Yeah dude, they've already saved at least 3 boundaries

 

[NZcricketfan]

Sri lanka made this pitch look more difficult than it is

 

[Thivagar]

I don't know *** Dilshan eats.

 

[Thivagar]

Yeah dude, they've already saved at least 3 boundaries

And Sanga's wicket too.

 

[McGarrett]

You've gotta give it to 'em. The hobbits are the best fielding side in the world !!

 

[Thivagar]

Sri lanka made this pitch look more difficult than it is

All part of major secret plan, just like the 5-0 clean sweep lost to India......shhhhhh

 

[IAJ]

Stupid stuff

 

[Saffer_XIII]

My Word that was ugly by Dilshan.

 

[Thivagar]

Stumping for Senior Nathan. Dilshan gone

 

[NZcricketfan]

That's right. Keep charging Nathan mccullum

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Ugliest knock by Dilshan, batted like Imrul Kayes lol

 

[Thivagar]

Bunch of hacks coming after this. Jeevan Mendis is a worse hack than Chandimal.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Ashraful rox can you talk bad about more of our players? More wickets are required

 

[Thivagar]

Is Nathan McCullum an Offspinner ? or is he a Leggie with an Offspin bowling action ?

 

[NZcricketfan]

He is a roll the arm over and not go for many runs type bowler

 

[McGarrett]

shot :

 

[McGarrett]

Rollin' in the deep

 

[Thivagar]

Im sure Simon Doul wants to punch Arnold in the face right now.

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis pace attack has been briliant.

We will continue to knockout you out of world cups whether it's 50 over format or t20.

[NZcricketfan]

*doubt

 

[Thivagar]

come on no run outs.

I try

McClenaghan needs to quit cricket and work at McDonalds, he is serving Big Macs to Mahela

 

[Atif]

You keep thinking that kid!

Kiwis pace attack would bother all teams.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Jayawardena's highest score is 46 in New Zealand after 14 innings, the guy looks set today for a hundred

37* now

You are a PHD holder. Alhamdullilah

Respect brother

 

[Justcrazy]

Run Rate is not good at the moment.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Nathan Macca shown his place by

 

[Aman]

I hope Lanka somehow get to 280-300.

We need practice chasing big scores.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Guys is Sanath Jaysuriya still a commentator or he got kicked out? I liked his commentary

 

[Energetic]

I really hate that WASP on sky.

 

[Aman]

Am I the only one here who doesn't really care about the result of the series? I just want our players to get a good hit out and get their tactics and plan sussed before the WC.

 

[NZcricketfan]

I really hate that WASP on sky.

I like it. Takes into account years of cricket

 

[Thivagar]

He commentated for like 3 matches. He was too busy with being in politics, reality shows, serving as a member of parliament, FC cricketer and so on. Now he is a selector.

 

[McGarrett]

50 for Masterclass Mahela Jayawardene

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What a legend. Respect to the great man. His wrists my word were as big as Haydos. What an all rounder.

I guess Sanath is the of Sri Lanka

 

[McGarrett]

That "pas coming off the pitch" comment didn't go very well for him )

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Congratulations Mahela on scoring his first 50 in NZ soil. Well played

 

[McGarrett]

: masterclass

 

[NZcricketfan]

These betting ads have to be the trashiest things going

 

[Justcrazy]

39 runs partnership.

 

[NZcricketfan]

I think that lady is martin guptils girlfriend/wife?

 

[Thivagar]

50 for Mahela. This is why he is a clutch player, he delivers when his team needs him.

 

[Thivagar]

That "pas coming off the pitch" comment didn't go very well for him )

I don't think it was smart of Skysports to hire a villager from a 3rd world country to commentate.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Give Elliot a few overs, let's see if he still has it in him.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I don't think it was smart of Skysports to hire a villager from a 3rd world country to commentate.

His commentary was cute man lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Milne back.

 

[Thivagar]

Cause you have a PhD . Why don't you become a professor, write a textbook, make it mandatory for your students to purchase it for $200/book and pile of $100,000/year ?

 

[McGarrett]

C'mon Thiri. take a single 'n give the strike to Mahela

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Milne will get Mahela bowled after drinks

 

[McGarrett]

I don't think it was smart of Skysports to hire a villager from a 3rd world country to commentate.

C'mon dude. Have some respect. Btw, My home town is also Matara and its not a village

2nd best high school in Sri Lanka, Rahula College (My first school) is also in Matara.
