New Zealand tour of Sri Lanka, 2009

He's pulled back his RPO too. Impressive. Without hearing commentary it's hard knowing how they got the runs. They could have all been edges for all we know. We should bowl em out under 200 here. Maharoof is an international and this guy's doing well so a partnership could be coming.

is it on tv?

Tuffey's last wicket was caught by Flynn, hes normally in close isn't he? Might have bounced Jayawardene out.

 

[Howsie]

Haha why is that?

I just don't rate his bowling anymore. I know he hasn't done that badly lately but I just don't think he's threating enough. His lines are just to wide and the batsmen are able to leave too many balls. Tuffey's been on fire in domestic cricket so he deserves it more I think.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe Tuffey has found an extra bit of pace

lol nope. Cricinfo has the scorecard. Theres no ball-by-ball though so you dunno how the wickets/runs came.

Oram caught the other Tuffey dismissal and he's gully, so probably a thick edge. Oram's went to McIntosh who is slipper. So it would suggest movement. Tuffey can get swing.

Could of been smashed to gully

Tuffey's more of a seam bowler is he not. I know he can swing it but that isn't is biggest threat.

 

[Ari]

He is certainly the most attacking bowler we have in the squad so I agree that he must play. We have enough bowlers who can tie up an end just need bowlers who can help get us 20 wickets.

Good start from the fellas. Have to wait until we bat to see if we're bowling really well.

Anyone reckon we should chuck Cumming in too open and get rid of that guy that can't actually bat properly.

Sri Lanka did choose to bat so the pitch can't be that bad.

Yea sure, I would love to see some more teeth on the pitch

 

[irottev]

Well i'd give McIntosh a go. He did get a hundred which not many others have done recently. His technique better have improved though.

What's your point?

 

[Howsie]

Same, I'd give McIntosh the whole series. Cumming would be just as bad.

What's your point?

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

If you're talking about when Steyn hit him. I wouldn't actually mind that, he made 40 odd that innings which is more than McIntosh will.

 

[Howsie]

Steyn knocked Cumming's teeth out?
