[Munna]

Sabry: "@Praveen. Mahela and Sanga are taking MS Dhoni's advice and not batting for the crowd "

 

[NZcricketfan]

I don't know what a good total is here. We scored 358 against Canada in the last game.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Direct hit. Not referred.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I think he is stumped this time.

 

[jattafridi]

I think thats out

 

[NZcricketfan]

Safe

 

[Maula Jutt]

Doesn't the line belong to the WK? I think he is out.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not out, it should be.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Not out.

[cricketnut]

I don't know what a good total is here. We scored 358 against Canada in the last game.

SL will end up 265 by the look, if they dont bowl well NZ will own the match!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Beautiful from Mahela.

 

[Munna]

ryder ....ur a part timer ... but that guy is CLASS! )

 

[Fireworks11]

Great reactions by Mahela

 

[cricketnut]

I think SL is going to have there bautt handed to them in this match!

 

[saajidrox]

If a wicket falls and thilan comes in next we might not even get passed 250

 

[NZcricketfan]

I think SL is going to have there bautt handed to them in this match!

Never underestimate New Zealands ability to lose a match from any situation.

 

[saajidrox]

time to accelerate now take the PP after the ball is changed two set batsmen in ideal time

 

[NZcricketfan]

Nassar Hussain and Tony grieg are wrong I see Afridi_fan

 

[Watsupdoc]

[cricketnut]

Today is the Kiwi's day, i feel it!

 

[Munna]

nz just doesn't have any strike or front line bowler .. other than southee! everyones warming the bench now

this bowling lineup wudn't even threat fuji islands team

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Nassar Hussain and Tony grieg are wrong I see Afridi_fan

Give it up. That was my view and NO ONE can change that.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Delicate

 

[Munna]

Great to hear, means SL is crap then!

 

[saajidrox]

I said before that SL have more chances of clearing the ropes this ground is the ideal size .premadasa is too big

 

[Fireworks11]

Mahela is so elegant.

 

[cricketnut]

another few runs and a wicket is coming!

 

[NZcricketfan]

Good to see we are containing Sri Lanka without our two best bowlers MIlls and Vettori.

 

[cricketnut]

I said before that SL have more chances of clearing the ropes this ground is the ideal size .premadasa is too big

Feels like indoor cricket!lol

 

[saajidrox]

Average first innings score 227

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What a shot by Sanga.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Average first innings score 227

And we scored 358 in the last game on this ground.

 

[saajidrox]

Sanga

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Maula Jutt]

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[saajidrox]

Off topic Pak vs aus is sold out
Now I hope it does not rain tmrw

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Thats plumb.

 

[cricketnut]

And we scored 358 in the last game on this ground.

They have made the ground smaller fot SL, just like SL made the pitch shorter for Australia, seems they did not know how to measre or they just cheated!lol

 

[Munna]

now that shud be in every way possible!

 

[saajidrox]

Review

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gone. Celebration for Kiwis.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Get out of here Jayawardene.

Brilliant Innings from Sangakkara however.

 

[cricketnut]

Thats plumb.

Are you better or as good as DRS!here it comes

 

[Fireworks11]

Good ball.

 

[cricketnut]

Thats plumb.

Great call mate!

 

[Munna]

66 off 90 balls ..... thats not a good strike rate

 

[saajidrox]

I think Matthews would come out

 

[amirfanforlife]

Score please?

 

[cricketnut]

how many over the few runs before out was i?

 

[Munna]

southee and angelo mathews .. both on my fantasy team!

 

[saajidrox]

Yes he is here
Let's see Batting powerplay mostly has favored bowling team

 

[cricketnut]

66 off 90 balls ..... thats not a good strike rate

Its great, but not if you want to win! To win you want more runs than balls, harsh but thats what winning in the WC is about!

 

[saajidrox]

Good ball saudi

 

[saajidrox]

Again short

 

[saajidrox]

Good over 3 runs from it

 

[NZcricketfan]

Tim "Saudi" Southee is a good death bowler. I remember him winning a game for us in the super over against Aussie.

 

[Munna]

here he comess

 

[cricketnut]

Again short

According to some Indians short balls are unsportsman like!lol

 

[Munna]

Tim "Saudi" Southee is a good death bowler. I remember him winning a game for us in the super over against Aussie.

[saajidrox]

good fielding

 

[cricketnut]

Just keep that one to yourself if you want me to keep cheering for you Kiwi's!lol
