New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka, 2009

Stop giving him wickets..... You guys have already allowed McIntosh to keep his spot for another 6 months atleast.

very good come back from Kiwi's .. maybe just maybe we might have a match on our hand but they need to bat positively unlike the first test

Hahah i just overheard what samaraweera told Murali when he didnt want the single to get back on strike to Patel.. He said to murali 'Come on even you can hit him' Ouch

 

[Chewie]

and he gets another one...big one too!

 

[diaskasun]

all out 426 ... good comeback by kiwis, now lets hope they would bat well and make this a real good test

Good team effort to get Patel wickets. He still only really got the tail out though and Sama doing a cheeky shot which didn't pay off. He still bowled rubbish. Vettori deserved all those.

Very good come back by us. It's simple. We HAVE to make use of this innings. This innings will define the match. If we're bowled out for 100/200odd we're gonners (my money is here). 300ish we might be able to take it on to a draw and 400 would be ideal. Puts us in for a great chance at a win/draw.

Gifted wickets there but fair enough. thats more than enough on this pitch. runs on the board. Nz has to score and not be too defensive if they are to have any chance

well atlest some one got it. if Kiwis can bat for 2 days, they might get control of the match

Of all the stupid things i've seen in my years of watching cricket, I think a part time spinner opening the bowling, first innings in a test takes the number 1 spot. UN-BE-LIEVABLE.

We might get 400 if SL are going to take this game so casually. Hope it bites them.

Almost as stupid as picking Ewen Thompson for international cricket.

OMG. Another ████ decision. We didn't get ONE in the whole last innings. That was obviously going to miss the stumps. It barely even hit him in line.

Herath. Way too high.

Bad decision but you ask for it when you leave the ball. Still no excuse. unlucky

 

[Chewie]

Guptill's playing rather aggressively...learnt from Dilshan? He's hit 5 fours in his 22, only two runs didn't come from a boundary.

 

[irottev]

Seeing Bondy out there made me excited. Can't wait to see him back. He looked great.

Srilanka in comamnding position they have a big chance to win this match but newzeland site aren't bad to they have ryder in the middle order hope he smash some..
