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

[NZcricketfan]

It was missing.

 

[Space Cat]

Poor LBW decision.

Why on earth did he not review that when there is only tail to come.

 

[Thivagar]

Great pounding by McCullum. Some what retarded bowling by our pacers. Can't blame the poor debutant. See yall tomorrow.

 

[anuk]

Has the doosra too.

that doosra is going to be banned soon. slight kink for sure.

yeah has potential but clearly not ready. this isn't the first time i've seen him and he just bowls too many full pitched balls atm.

 

[Space Cat]

Watling will feel like a muppet for not reviewing that.

 

[Random Aussie]

ICC needs to do something about this, that's a horrible overrate. Both Australia and India have been awful this series too.

Should suspend all the captains.

 

[Space Cat]

NZ is not a good place to try a new spinner.

Been a few years since any spinner had much impact here.

 

[anuk]

Should suspend all the captains.

too many balls left the ground, not sl's fault

Should be suspended. Its negative play.

I thought his doosra looked pretty good, but again I only started watching right after McCullum got out.. Players who put a lot of effort on the ball tend to miss their length so its not unusual, but going at T20 level economy is concerning. Looks he is very nervous, can't blame him, getting smashed like McCulllum like this on his debut would definitely bring his confidence down.

Yeah definite kink in that doosra

How was SL's fielding ? any dropped catches ? If yes, who dropped them ? and who bowled those balls ? [MENTION=137535]anuk[/MENTION]

sanga dropped neesham and Bmac

 

[Thivagar]

[MENTION=136555]desi_launda[/MENTION] thank you

Almost sent back both of the SL pacers to rehab

 

[anuk]

How was SL's fielding ? any dropped catches ? If yes, who dropped them ? and who bowled those balls ? [MENTION=137535]anuk[/MENTION]

dropped 4 catches in total. sanga dropped two dollies in like 2 consecutive overs and lakmal dropped a return catch and pj dropped a tough chance. 2 of them were off kaushal and the other was off eranga.

thiri missed a run out.

if sanga held those catches we had a real chance of restricting them under 400.

 

[leatherface58]

Proof that if your bowlers are useless, no amount of pro-environmental pitches are gonna help.

 

[Swanny]

Have to say bmac is a legendary slogger

 

[MRSN]

voww that was a beastly innings from BMac. looks in supreme form ahead of big tournament.

 

[Saurav]

why is not playing?

 

[Kiri]

why is not playing?

Injured so he's been ruled out for the 1st Test.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka | 1st Test | December 26-30 | Christchurch | Day 2

Can NZ continue their dominant form?

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Lets hope the Sri Lankans who were trolling NZ all morning yesterday decide to stick around for the whole day this time

 

[NZcricketfan]

Boult and Southee will be hungry after those shitty pitches in the uae

 

[McGarrett]

Lets hope the Sri Lankans who were trolling NZ all morning yesterday decide to stick around for the whole day this time

Of course we're here. What are you on about ? It was just the first day of a test match. But then again, what would a minnow fan like you know about test cricket.

 

[McGarrett]

:

3rd wkt for the fabulous skipper, Mathews

 

[leatherface58]

It's terrible news for Lanka if trundler Mathews is among the wickets. Only proves how awesome Macca was and how horrendous the Lankan bowlers were.

 

[McGarrett]

:

 

[Thivagar]

Thick Edge and Southee decides to take the DRS anyway

 

[leatherface58]

Lame conclusion.

Should have got 500 atleast.

 

[McGarrett]

cheating Kiwis should be given one match ban.

 

[Thivagar]

Of course we're here. What are you on about ? It was just the first day of a test match. But then again, what would a minnow fan like you know about test cricket.

SL was once a minnow and most likely to return to that deserving spot in about 3 months

 

[NZcricketfan]

cheating Kiwis should be given one match ban.

You mean like matthews only getting through 80 overs in a day

 

[Thivagar]

cheating Kiwis should be given one match ban.

What did i miss ?

 

[McGarrett]

so much for the strong NZ tail )

 

[McGarrett]

What did i miss ?

He was trying to pretend that the ball hit his arm )

 

[leatherface58]

cheating Kiwis should be given one match ban.

Ironic coming from your lot

 

[Thivagar]

You mean like matthews only getting through 80 overs in a day

Its McCullum's fault was hitting too many sixes out of the ground

 

[NZcricketfan]

so much for the strong NZ tail )

Lets just see how your batsmen go. You were the one who called that spinner mini murali after all

 

[McGarrett]

You mean like matthews only getting through 80 overs in a day

Are you stupid ? it wasn't Sri Lankan's fault. It was poor ground conditions. ) It took about 20 mins to get over the first 2 overs. The bowlers were slipping all over the place. Then the sightscreen ) It was hilarious

 

[McGarrett]

Ironic coming from your lot

What's so ironic about that ?

 

[Thivagar]

Main aim is to not told to be followed on

 

[Thivagar]

GONEEEEEE "thirimanne" lol

[NZcricketfan]

Suck it mcgarret

 

[Aman]

Goes to show just how badly the Lankans bowled on this wicket.

This isn't a 400 first innings wicket.

 

[Jabo]

Gone

NZ should win this test series, SL test side in these conditions will have a tough time just like how Pakistan side would, Only India can give a good match

 

[Aman]

Need to get Sanga out quick.

 

[Thivagar]

Gone

India is probably the worst in this condition lol

 

[McGarrett]

:

Dimuth

 

[Aman]

100th wicket for Boult

 

[Batman]

441 then for NZ.

And early in roads in the first over.

 

[Thivagar]

Very indian like behavior from McCgarrett

 

[Aman]

Gone

The wicket India played on actually flattened up, this ones still good for bowlers who get it in the right areas.

 

[leatherface58]

Take Sanga and Mathews cheaply and we can be in for a very one-sided contest.

 

[McGarrett]

Sangaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....................

 

[Jabo]

India is probably the worst in this condition lol

bowling wise, maybe

But batting wise they would do well, you trying to say Pakistan test side would last against Southee/Boult

YK,Shafiq,Shezad,Safraz

they'd be bowled out for under 200 batting 1st

 

[McGarrett]

Very indian like behavior from McCgarrett

Dude, I don't let the trolls go unanswered.

 

[90MPH]

That was a beauty from bolt.

Almost unplayable - swinging away at pace then jags back in after pitching. You can't blame the batsman there, that was just too good.

 

[leatherface58]

Dude, I don't let the trolls go unanswered.

The air is thick with irony. Real thick.

 

[McGarrett]

goog running

 

[McGarrett]

good*

 

[McGarrett]

The air is thick with irony. Real thick.

Kinda like you

 

[leatherface58]

Kinda like you

Takes one to know one I guess.

 

[McGarrett]

Takes one to know one I guess.

Wouldn't know about that. But you just confirmed yourself as one right there.

 

[Thivagar]

stop fighting eachother kids

 

[Aman]

What a ripper.

 

[Aman]

Looks out.

SL 2 down.

 

[NZcricketfan]

2 down Mcgarret.

How about those tailenders

 

[McGarrett]

oops... Silva

 

[Aman]

I wonder what McCullum will do if SL don't avoid the follow on.

How's the weather going to be like for the remaining days? [MENTION=68271]NZcricketfan[/MENTION] [MENTION=129927]space[/MENTION]cat
