Indian Tour of Sri Lanka & Triangular Series, July-August 2010

[Meet]

It was edged
Lucky Styris

 

[Chewie]

They need hot spot here.

 

[Chewie]

We're playing a bit better now, a good partnership here.

Did anyone else just think they saw Mark Gillespie there??

 

[Varun]

Great bowling by India till now. (Better than I expected)
Hope they don't get carried away in the death overs.

 

[Howsie]

I really can't stand watching Taylor play spinners unless it's a 20/20 game tbh. Not only does he look uncomfortable as heck you know a ugly swipe is only a matter of shots away.

 

[-D-S-B-]

No but it looks like Tim McIntosh's brother got a hair cut and came along to support

Yeah I agree Howsie, hate to say it but it's just a matter of how long until he gives it away, hopefully he keeps his head though.

 

[Chewie]

This is going to be close.

Oh looked like that could've been out but he was safely in

 

[Varun]

New Zealand have moved into stability! Nice innings by Taylor.

 

[Chewie]

We're doing quite well now Taylor and Styris have steadied the ship and provided a good base for us to build on in the second half of our innings

Chewie added 5 Minutes and 49 Seconds later...

lol typical Taylor, slog sweeping for six

His favourite shot. I love seeing him play it.

 

[Chewie]

Interesting move, considering that we haven't been very strong against the medium pacers today

 

[Mike23]

Good decision to take the batting powerplay now rather than leave it for the 45th over.

 

[Chewie]

I would have thought India would bowl the pace bowlers during the powerplay, but they've stayed with the spinners. Ojha bowled well, but Jadeja wasn't so great

 

[Varun]

We need a wicket badly there.

 

[Chewie]

No you don't

At this rate we could get near 300, especially with Oram and Hopkins who can both hit the ball very far, and Oram is in decent form with the bat.

I should be getting to bed... it's 11.17 and I have to wake up at 6 tomorrow
