    Why are we always the dipshits that choose to bowl?

    Four straight tests have been won by the team bowling first at the basin. The pitch will flatten out but unlikely to take spin so any fourth innings target won't be tricky.

    Bangladesh scored 500 batting first here last summer and we still ran them down.

    Was a good choice at 9 for 3.

    Just watched the Day 1 highlights. Great spells by Southee, Watling is very tidy behind the stumps, super catch by Nicholls, appalling no ball by CdG, and errrr what has happened to Boult?

    Timmy wraps up the SL innings for 282 with his 6th wicket.

    Good chance here for our openers to find some form.
    I’ll be disappointed with anything less than 350.

    I am such a child but the Dickwella Kumara partnership made me snigger.

    This pitch has become docile and will be so at least until day 4. I would be unhappy with anything less than 500.

    Batting for 2 days should be the aim here.

    He tends to do that after making a start. I'm happy enough with him because he is fairly consistent at blunting the new ball, but in order to be a great player he needs to start converting these starts into hundreds.

    Williamson seeing it like a beach ball.

    His first one was a thick outside edge along the ground for 4, but the next two balls, wow just spanked with perfect timing through the offside.

    Kane 13 off 4,
    Latham 15 off 74
    Cricket is a funny old game sometimes.

    Love Rigor carefully explaining why a poor conversion rate can't be used to criticise a batsmen. Hmm, wonder what his was like!

    192/1.

    Williamson on 75 and still below his average in the last 5 tests against SL.

    So surely the plan is to grind them into the dust today and tomorrow ? Forecast could potentially fuck us on day 5 but...

    Yep. I'm genuinely furious about this with test ton number 20 in his sights.
