New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka, 2009

[irottev]

my point is that I am a dumbarse and mixed up Cumming with Flynn

Cumming has been hit before too (edit: by Steyn as previously mentioned) - I don't think he lost any teeth. Also I believe he got hit in a domestic game fielding close in and did lose some teeth.

This Chandimal guy has hit a 50 on first class debut against us. Well done to him.

Steyn knocked Cumming's teeth out?

Nah, I think he just cracked his cheek bone. That series was just a nightmare.

is it on tv?

No mate, its a very cold windy rainny day in colombo, there far i think NZ bowlers had a bit of advantage. anyway so far so good for NZ. how ever Sri lanka was not able to play A team coz, they are having a match agest Pakistan A at the same time so this is more like the B team.

 

[Howsie]

Yeah I was just having a look at his record. He's played a few T20 games but he's suppose to be a decent keeper/batsmen.

Howsie added 0 Minutes and 51 Seconds later...

Maharoof and P Jayawardene have played quite a bit. And that Amerasinghe guy played 1 test. It's not a bad side considering which is good because we want to face good competition.

ok I will stop being off topic now, sorry :doh

 

[Howsie]

Four out of the top seven have played for Sri Lanka recently so it isn't a bad team. Like you said it's decent practice.

Good work they are getting the tail out quickly. It has been an issue for us.

 

[irottev]

Patel just got 2 and Martin another. Nice to see. Every bowler is doing their bit.

 

[Howsie]

Good work to get them out for 150. New Zealand's currently 29-1 with Martin Guptill getting out for six. Hopefully we put up a massive score.

 

[diaskasun]

good work from NZ, atlest this is a good start
