CWC Game #1 Black Caps vs Sri Lanka

[Chris B.]

What a difference a couple of days makes - for Matt Henry anyway. So far, so good.

Matthews and the other Perera still danger men to be rid of.

Nicholls not available, so Munro is opening. He'll doubtless make runs, unless we need him to!

[No Quarter]

Colin joins the party with a wicket as well. This is getting ugly for Sri Lanka.

[Chris B.]

@No-Quarter Gets Mathews - the big wicket!

Things going pretty much according to (my) script!

[Mokey]

Much better bowling. Restricting runs, taking wickets. All the pressure on the Lankans now.

[hydro11]

Hopefully we can get them for under 150 because then we can through caution to the wind in chasing.

[KiwiPie]

Just need that other Perera now. Didn't sort him out in the summer ....

[Mokey]

Lachie bowling beautifully. Lankans imploding at 60/6.

[No Quarter]

Captain Kane shades of Baz circa CWC15 with that fielding effort. Awesome.

Puts one into the stands. He's dangerous as hell.

[Mokey]

GAH. And suddenly they are 80/6.

This is where I go to bed as I'm not watching Perera tear us apart again.

[Donsteppa]

A terrible pie from Neesham followed by a gimmie on the free hit to Perera...

[KiwiPie]

Hmm a free hit let's put it on a length ...

Newham is bowling some awful stuff. Pin the leg stump yorker to Perera he's just backing away and swinging

[Donsteppa]

Excellent - Santner gets the breakthrough with Perera holing out.

[No Quarter]

Thank f*ck for that.

Thata boy Santner.

Good work - from now on you'll be sent to bed whenever we need a wicket!

Nice work by SatNav as well.

Just checked the thread.

You can all thank me later...

[No Quarter]

Neesh bowls another shit delivery but gets a wicket for his troubles. 8 down now.

[Chris B.]

Was just about to say that this Udana looks like he can hold a bat - made 78 vs the Jaapies. But not today!

[No Quarter]

Ferg has been superb - that was a vicious delivery. Latham too short to catch it.
