New Zealand v Sri Lanka | 1st Test | December 26-30, 2014 | Christchurch

[Justcrazy]

134 runs partnership already

 

[Aman]

Bloody part timer bowling far down the leg side

Probably will get warned if he does it again.

 

[Justcrazy]

Astles record under serious threat. That was here in Christchurch as well.

Wasims record also under threat again.

Time both records are broken

 

[NZcricketfan]

Sri lankans normally bowl lots of spin so struggling badly with over rate

 

[Justcrazy]

Drinks

New Zealand RR 5.53

 

[Justcrazy]

MacCullum just 19 away from double.

 

[desi_launda]

terrific over by thirimanne

 

[Random Aussie]

Bloody part timer bowling far down the leg side

As if Sri Lanka would refuse to honor the spirit of cricket. As if.

 

[Justcrazy]

11th one from MacCullum

 

[ekpakistani]

What an innings... mccullum looking in supreme form

 

[desi_launda]

195 and

 

[Space Cat]

Aww damn hes out.

Amazing knock though.

 

[ekpakistani]

Just as I said and he got out.. dratt.. well played brendon

 

[Space Cat]

Mark Richardson jinxed that.

 

[Justcrazy]

195 now for macCullum

 

[desi_launda]

why

 

[NZcricketfan]

Bryce mcgain gets a wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

Waseem record safe

 

[NZcricketfan]

Our crowd is doing what happens when afridi gets out

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka would be relived here with that Wicket.

 

[desi_launda]

atrocious over rate

 

[desi_launda]

incidentally sehwag also scored 195 in the boxing day test in 2003

 

[Random Aussie]

This batting method works well for NZ, their top order is usually unreliable but if they go for their shots then they can build a good platform for their late order to bat on.

 

[NZcricketfan]

With our tail we should be looking at 500 +

 

[Space Cat]

All this and Mark Craig hasn't batted yet.

 

[Space Cat]

awful over rate. They won't even get the new ball in today.

 

[Aman]

McCullum v Warner

[desi_launda]

Matthews should be banned for next match for this over rate

 

[anuk]

ceraintly has been an india like performance from sl today.

 

[leatherface58]

Could Macca be booked for aggravated assault?

 

[desi_launda]

ceraintly has been an india like performance from sl today.

India have never been smashed at 5.6 an over on a green track

 

[Romali_rotti]

Damnnnnnn so close,,, well played Mccallum..................

 

[Thivagar]

Just got from party, never got to check the scores. Looks like Mini-Murali ain't having a great debut. Just saw him bowl the last 2 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka need to strike here and get into tail.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Lanka need to strike here and get into tail.

What tail. Our number 11 has a test 50

 

[Thivagar]

India have never been smashed at 5.6 an over on a green track

He was talking about looking like minnows abroad and getting smashed.

 

[Justcrazy]

400 up

 

[Sandeep]

Sad that baz missed the fastest double! Awesome innings though..

 

[NZcricketfan]

I feel sorry for this mini murali

 

[Thivagar]

Another six of Tharindu

 

[leatherface58]

Lol at Mini Murali. Abused like Mini-Me today.

 

[Sandeep]

Who's this new guy? Can't seem to not go for sixes

 

[Thivagar]

He was talking about looking like minnows abroad and getting smashed.

Don't worry, its his first match. Murali nor Warne picked up a wicket in their first match. Well Mini Murali has a wicket but he's been smashed. He'll bounce back

 

[NZcricketfan]

Who's this new guy? Can't seem to not go for sixes

I have been told by some sri lankans here that he is the second coming of murali

 

[Thivagar]

Who's this new guy? Can't seem to not go for sixes

Future legend, you heard it first here okay ?

 

[Sandeep]

Wow! Mini murali? !

 

[NZcricketfan]

Future legend, you heard it first here okay ?

he is already in the record books as the guy who makes bryce mcgain look good

 

[Justcrazy]

400 before new ball taken

 

[NZcricketfan]

Going to be fun to watch boult and southee bowl with so many runs on the board

 

[Justcrazy]

Neesham moves to 83 .

 

[Justcrazy]

Going to be fun to watch boult and southee bowl with so many runs on the board

lanka in big trouble here.

 

[Space Cat]

traffic issue obviously raring its head with a lot of fans leaving early.

 

[Thivagar]

he is already in the record books as the guy who makes bryce mcgain look good

Can't you people look at someone bowl and analyze ? . He is just having a bad game. Probably nervous, inferiority complex, probably his dad is fishing, farming or working as a construction worker in SL. Typical SL rags to riches cricketing story.

 

[desi_launda]

150 for murali

 

[Space Cat]

Neesham goes. Bit of an anti climax that one.

He is just bowling in NZ. An absolute spinners graveyard

 

[Space Cat]

here comes in form mark craig.

 

[Thivagar]

Wow! Mini murali? !

Yes sir

 

[Thivagar]

150 for murali

Still the best bowler in Cricket

 

[Justcrazy]

matthews strikes

 

[Thivagar]

Out of all Mathews had to remove Neesham

 

[Justcrazy]

can Lanka get through last few batters here , today ?

 

[NZcricketfan]

If sri lanka had bowled all the records we could have broken the record for the most runs on the first day of a test

 

[anuk]

Yes sir

u need to stop saying this at least until he learns to land 2 consecutive balls

 

[Justcrazy]

15 overs left.

 

[Thivagar]

Not good run up for mini-murali

 

[NZcricketfan]

15 overs left.

only 20 minutes left before stumps though. Already 10 minutes into extra time

 

[mmkextreme_1]

What's the highest score for a team on the first day of a test match?

 

[Thivagar]

u need to stop saying this at least until he learns to land 2 consecutive balls

Looks like he is nervous, he keep taking deep inhale and exhale

 

[NZcricketfan]

What's the highest score for a team on the first day of a test match?

490 something

 

[Thivagar]

What's the highest score for a team on the first day of a test match?

494 Australia vs Southafrica in 1910

 

[Space Cat]

we only had about 60 runs in the first session lol.

 

[Thivagar]

Tharindu Kaushal has the flight, dip and the bounce. Can't see if he has drift or not in this bad streaming along with me being drunk. He is certainly not landing where he wants to land.I see the potential in him, he just can't land where he wants to which is usually a Leggie/Chinaman issue.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Otherday Southee and boult bowled out a team for 58 and 117 so am looking forward to it.

[Space Cat]

Shouldnt give those out. To much guess work.

Another win for DRS

[Space Cat]

30 min overtime and we are just getting to the new ball now.

Mathews should be punished for this snail over rate.

 

[Thivagar]

Wicket for Mathews.
