Super 8: 23rd Match NZ v SL

[Howsie]

Even if Malinga gets reverse swing it doesn't mean NZ wont be able to play him, although he is already hard enough to score off. I just hope NZ really attacks Sri Lanka's weaker bowlers.

Fire up NZ, we need to score quickly off Sri Lanka's quicks. Malinga isnt 'that' good.

nz0003 added 5 Minutes and 3 Seconds later...

if New Zealand make more than 222 (or so) and beat Sri Lanka by one run, the Kiwis will be on their way home.

Haha, I dont like our chances.

 

[Howsie]

Sri Lanka are batting first and Ross Taylor and Brendon McCullum are playing.

Atleast we have a chance now.

Looks like Franklin misses out should of dropped McGlashan or Oram.

 

[nz0003]

That is a bad call.

McCullum probaly can't keep today.

 

[irottev]

I'm guessing McCullum can't keep, so fair enough I guess. I just hope McCullum and Taylor can play at 100%

I'm not sure if i'm pleased we're bowling first or not. I think it could work it to be a good thing. Hopefully we bowl them out cheaply.

We'll still screw the run-chase up even if we get them out for an average score.

Oram better step up today then or there will be a rant later!

 

[Howsie]

Oram better step up today then or there will be a rant later!

I actually think he might, I could just see him smacking Mendis and Murali around.

We need to keep Sri Lanka to around 150, hopefully just abit under it.

 

[nz0003]

Butler to own!

Can't wait to hear our anthem, it should start playing now and it might finish by the start of the innings.

 

[Sartaj]

Good move NZ. Nice to see rossco back and yeah,don't let SL score more than 160.

 

[nz0003]

Nath McCullum opening.

 

[Howsie]

Nath McCullum opening.

Strange. But the openers both like pace on the ball.

 

[nz0003]

You beauty!!!!!!

 

[Ari]

What a start!
