[McGarrett]

:

Target 108

 

[Thivagar]

Eranga 45 not out. NZ 107 to win. At least 3 wickets before NZ chased down the target would satisfy me.

I'm already satisfied with our fightback in the 2nd innings. We've made Kiwis bowl 154 overs in the 2nd innings.

Ya but NZ were probably tired due to bowling back to back innings

 

[London_Lahori]

Another 100 runs in the first innings from SL and this would have been an interesting game.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Ya but NZ were probably tired due to bowling back to back innings

And the fact the pitch is getting flatter and flatter

C'mon.. they bowled only 44 overs in the first innings. But the thing was that Dimuth 'n Thiri grinded 'em pretty good.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Decent comeback by Sri Lanka in the end.

Going down fighting at least

Bat 200 overs and I'd be impressed

 

[McGarrett]

And the fact the pitch is getting flatter and flatter

) You are back

Must have been quite a relief to get that last wkt eh ??

By the way, congrats on your pending victory. You people deserve it. (sorry that your bowlers had to bowl 155 overs in the 2nd innings)

I'm sorry for our bowlers making sanga look like a bunny rabbit

Sanga has nothing to prove anymore. He took on Bond n co. last time and made 2 briliant 100s. In an innings, there were 5 ducks, yet Sanga scored an unbeaten 150.

And the fact the pitch is getting flatter and flatter

THIS!, the only reason why these Sri Lankans scored any runs in the second innings, I was shocked as hell when I saw the scorecard for the 2nd innings..

No they didn't

Not Indian flat pitch yet, its NZ flat.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Thivagar thambi, I thought you were Indian.

 

[Thivagar]

Thivagar thambi, I thought you were Indian.

No im not i just have access Willow TV so i get to watch Local indian players

 

[MRSN]

NZ collapsing..)) still 62 to win.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not Indian flat pitch yet, its NZ flat.

Most Indian test wickets are rarely flat.

 

[NZcricketfan]

NZ collapsing..)) still 62 to win.

If you knew anything about New Zealand cricket you would know that we have one of the worst opening average in world cricket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Great fightback by SL. If herath is back for the next test, I think SL can give NZ a run for their money. Sang a needs to score though.

 

[Buffet]

Test has been totally dominated by NZ despite SL scoring runs in their 2nd inning. Sanga needs to score some runs for SL in 2nd test.

 

[Electron]

Brutal thrashing. COngrats NZ.

 

[Justcrazy]

One hit away from win Kiwis :0

 

[Justcrazy]

First innings hurt the lankans here.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Game. Set. Match - New Zealand!

 

[Justcrazy]

New Zealand won by 8 wickets

 

[Space Cat]

Easy win. The pitch flattened up as expected and the Sri Lankas put up a fight but the result was never in doubt.

 

[biggestdravidfan]

Sanga the whinga shown his place against quality fast bowling )

 

[leatherface58]

Easy does it.

 

[Aman]

Good win in the end, I expect the Lankans to play better in the second Test.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Good win! Why dont they select Matt Henry for Wagner? Matt Henry is easily the best bowling prospect in NZ for me!

 

[Aman]

Consider the win quite comprehensive in the end.

A 9 wicket win imo, we're basically playing with 10 with Rutherford opening for us.

 

[Random Aussie]

Congrats Hobbits! Good win

 

[Batman]

That's was too easy for NZ.

Sri Lanka were never in the game.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Same here but I am a cantabrian like henry, hadlee, bond, astle, harris, fleming, cairns, mcmillan and chris martin so I could be a bit biased

 

[Kiri]

Sri Lanka lost it by their 1 innings. That moment made all the difference. Credit should go to McCullum, Boult and Southee who all played beautifully.
