Black Caps vs Sri Lanka
-
All a bit easy for Sri Lanka. Missed the start of our innings - were conditions much tougher?
I'm a bit sceptical when I see a scorecard like our innings - the lower order cashing in can often be a sign that the top order bungled things, rather than a miraculous recovery than saves the game.
-
Bit of a limp wristed performance. Visiting team, and we can't even take a bloody wicket. Weird Santner hasn't used Phillips
-
Turns out we can take some wickets.
-
I hope Foulkes isn't bowling the last over
-
Poos. He is.
-
Why bowl such an expensive bowler in the last?
-
He's started well, wicket in the first ball. 5 balls left, 14 needed.
-
First ball success for NZ with the attempted ramp. .I wonder when teams will start placing fielders to combat the ramp?
-
Good stuff again Foulkes. A run out.
-
Another wicket. Run out this time. Foulkes is coming to the party.
-
They need two sixes.
-
And that's it Foulkes. We are gonna win. Never in doubt.
-
All over now unless he bowls a no ball.

Why do they insist on trying to bounce these guys out? Bowl some yorkers!
To be fair. Duffy's three wicket over featuring short and back of a length deliveries turned the match

Yup, definitely. Bracewell and Mitchell also kept us in it with the bat and made a game of it.

Some leg side full tosses that the batsmen would have put into the stands in the last over there, but it was their tail batting due to the flurry of wickets we took.
Sri Lanka dominated the first and third quarters, we dominated the second and fourth. We did well to stay in the fight and win it at the death, though Sri Lanka will feel they should have won and will take some confidence.
