BMac out injured. KW wins toss, chooses to have a longer match today by batting.

I can see many records being broken

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol good one. My guess is latham will open

Uae would do baaeettersit

 

[Abdullah719]

Guptill needs 154 to overtake Root as the 3rd highest scorer in all intl. cricket this year.

Should do it in the first 10 overs easily.

 

[SunTzu]

Last match of the year, let's hope SL make it a decent one.

 

[Abdullah719]

NZ: Guptill, Latham, Williamson, Taylor, Nicholls, Santner, Ronchi, Bracewell, Southee, Milne, McClenaghan

SL: Gunathilaka, Dilshan, Thirimanne, Chandimal, Mathews, Siriwardana, Kapugedera, Kulasekara, Pradeep, Chameera, Vandersay

 

[aloo paratha]

2 overs and only 2 runs????? HOW??

 

[Abdullah719]

2 runs in the first two overs. What a snoozefest.

 

[Abdullah719]

38/0 in 7 overs.

Guptill looking good for a double hundred now. The benefit of batting first.

 

[Abdullah719]

Heh heh. Out to Chameera, good catch by youngsta Dilshan at backward point.

 

[Aman]

King Kane on the charge.

 

[Aman]

Looking like a 300+ chase for SL.

 

[Thivagar]

Ross Taylor and spin bowling lol.

 

[axl100mph]

Nz playing like the minnows they are
Would be thumped by pak

WTH happened lol? Looked like he edged a ball that did nothing.

Still think 300+ is on.

Okay, it was the ball before that got him to play that crap shot.

 

[Thivagar]

bowled of a free hit good job

[Thivagar]

So McCullum will participate in BBl, BPL and etc.

 

[Suleiman]

NZ have a pretty impressive ODI squad, should reach top 3 by next year if they aren't already (cba to check).

Have the batsmen, decent bowlers, but it's their solid lower order that really does the trick.

Wish there was an Aus vs NZ ODI series instead instead of the Aus vs NZ tests, would've been much more competitive and close.

 

[MMHS]

This year, this is probably 5th of 6th ODI at Nelson - all won by chasing side, all chasing ~300 sort of target relatively easily. However, those were with previous Power Play rule, therefore I think SRL should be quite happy, if they can restrict Kiwis around 275.

NZ batting a bit off today. Scrapping towards 260 which is probably below par.

Saxton Oval is much smaller than Hagley Oval and is usually a 300 score ground.

That said, the Sri Lankan batting hasnt exactly set the world alight so far on good batting decks.

 

[SunTzu]

Lol SL drops a catch and directly onto his face. Fielding has been abysmal barring Dilshan.

 

[SunTzu]

Guntalika is off the field and needs to have his teeth checked. That catch was as simple as they come.

 

[axl100mph]

Still think 300+ is on.

Whats the point of this series?

Minnow bashing is entertaining sometimes but sri lanka are lacking in attractive players to even make that interesting

Pak should send their under 16's rather than the senior team.
Atleast, the kiddies will derive confidence out of bashing grown men, however poor they may be

 

[Space Cat]

Bracewell is a very useful batsman.

 

[Space Cat]

It seems like nobody can time the ball in this match.

 

[Belawal2014]

Bracewell is a very useful batsman.

Perks of having a lineup with batting capabilities from 1-11.

 

[Belawal2014]

Southee does have the looks to become an actor .

 

[Space Cat]

Tim Southee doing his thing here. Loves hitting sixes.

 

[SunTzu]

Well played Southee. Wondered if NZ could make 275 before he came. Bracewell and Milne were too slow.

 

[Space Cat]

18* (4) adds a big boost to the innings.

Its about par on this ground but based on how things have gone so far it should be enough.

 

[Suleiman]

Southee

Do you guys have a player in your team who CAN'T bat?

also attitude wise and batting wise he reminds me of Wahab idk why.

McClenaghan i guess is the only proper tailender in the squad but even he is fairly usefull. Matt Henry and Sodhi can both bat well also.

Chris Martin era is over.

 

[Thivagar]

Lets see how many deliveries Gunathalika lasts.

 

[Thivagar]

The Sri lankan disabled guy is annoying. The guy has been shouting for the last 3 hours.

 

[Thivagar]

The youngster getting scolded by the only uncle in the team.

 

[axl100mph]

Are you trying to be funny ?

Let me tell you you are failing

When things dont go your way, life appears funny.
I dont blame you
but we will stick together and weather this

Who is this gunalithika?
Was he not playing in the first two games?

[Aman]

Dropping Bracewell actually was a good tactical move from SL.

 

[Aman]

SL off to a good start and looking good to win this.

Think we batted really poorly.

 

[Brilliance]

Gunathalika giving Kiwis the taste of their own medicine. This is how I want Pakistani batsmen to operate against Kiwis mid January onwards, otherwise they will be owned there

 

[Aman]

Pitch is slow, Milne looking pedestrian

Not every wicket is going to be this slow and dead.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Who's this guy? Looks quality. Partner him with kusal(I think that was his name) and you have the best opening combo in the world.

 

[Aman]

Wow this Gunathlaka guy looks good.

What way exactly ? LMAO

 

[Aman]

[MENTION=131138]Space Cat[/MENTION], Ronchi must be getting close to being dropped? Can't remember the last time he contributed in ODI's.

 

[axl100mph]

What way exactly ? LMAO

Rejection makes you depressed but lose track and coherence?

Dude, come on would ya

He is hitting 150Ks deliveries of Milne out of ground. Pakistan better get a lesson from this and not look like a rabbit caught in headlights when they arrive for the series.

Yeah, SL have this match.

Proper thrashing.

 

[Suleiman]

Lol, Sri Lanka showing why they're the best Asians outside Asia.

This kid is shattering NZ bowlers' confidence one boundary at a time.

 

[Brilliance]

I think whatever the pitch conditions you can't go out and act like meek people against this Kiwi side.They will feast upon you.You got to show some guts against them.

In order to hit 150kmh deliveries out of the park you need to have ability first.

Yeah that is right.Shehzad showed it when he first toured to NZ, but seems to have lost it.Ah! I was forgetting how our batsmen spared against S Finn's pace on UAE tracks back in 2012
