Game over - we need rain tomorrow.

Rain is certainly saving NZ here...after doing all hard work by SL team,its rain who has played a sopilsoprt fro them,while NZ is thanking rain....SL players were targettting 5 runs per over,they played like any ODI match...

Half the team is sick right now if we lose anymore we could well see Oram at four and Vettori at five.

 

[Chewie]

including mcintosh? never heard anything about him being sick...

Yea McIntosh is sick. Our line-up could of looked like this:

4.Oram
5.Vettori
6.Patel
7.O'Brien?

Hahaha, that would of been horrible. Hopefully they're feeling much better tommorow.

Good work from Taylor and Guptill too see out the rest of the day though.

 

[ajdude]

Cricinfo's got O'Brien coming in at four and Ryder at ten. Take that with a grain of salt.

 

[Howsie]

Okay apparently it was only Guptill, Taylor, Flynn, Vettori and O'Brien that haven't contracted the "bug".

Is Patel sick again because he was a couple of day's ago?

 

[TheGreemSim]

Will they let Reece Young Bat?

 

[Howsie]

Will they let Reece Young Bat?

No. Sri Lanka don't even have a choice in that situation.

 

[TheGreemSim]

No. Sri Lanka don't even have a choice in that situation.

Well that blows Mind you I suppose it wouldn't have made much difference. Still it would've been a heroic story if he'd been allowed to bat and ended up scoring a century and helped New Zealand hold onto that draw or better yet, pull off a miracle victory

 

[Sartaj]

McIntosh may be sick,but its Oram who makes me sick!
If he's to be used as a batsman only,better prefer Jimmy Franklin.

 

[SciD]

Why dont they start eating subcontinent food 1 month before coming to tour.

 

[Howsie]

Why dont they start eating subcontinent food 1 month before coming to tour.

They've been there for over two weeks now, I'm sure they've eaten during that time. Just real unlucky it's happened now I guess.

 

[Sartaj]

One or twice in a while could be termed unlucky,but this is happening everytime!!!
Not a single tour where no one gets injured!
Even in the WT20 where Ryder got injured.
This is unbelievable!

Ryder got an infection in his groin. The player's aren't injured they've just picked up a bug.
