T20 World Cup - NZ v Sri Lanka

[Donsteppa]

Great innings by Phillips. At one stage I thought we were going to struggle to get to 140 there.

Here's hoping that we field a lot better than they did.

Does anyone know who we will likely face in the quarters, or is it a bit of a lottery at this point?

No quarters, only semis. We will probably be playing South Africa or India.

If we beat Sri Lanka and Ireland of course.

Thanks for clarifying.

That was some beautiful bowling by Southee. Set him up perfectly.

Yes lets not count our chickens.

[Damo]

Woohoo. Great start.

[Canes4life]

Another wicket, Boult this time.

Is Foster coaching this crew now?

No. But despite the crazy wet weather in OZ they managed to transport the dry powder from Melbourne to Sydney.

Looks like the dry powder was in a tin labelled Glenn Phillips!!!

Some innings that - and promisingly, there were quite a few balls that completely deceived him. Hopefully, that continues.

Quite a few balls seemed to keep very low.

[No Quarter]

Sri Lanka in all sorts of trouble now

[Canes4life]

And another to Boult. Sri Lanka are going to need something special now.

[Chris B.]

@No-Quarter A few that he swished at that went over the bat as well.

Looked like the ball was sticking in the pitch at times and pretty two-paced - or even three-paced - and looks like the Lankans might be finding that out.

[MajorRage]

Boom. 8-4

[Jailbreak7]

Boults on fire!

[Damo]

I think I would have given Southee one more.

[Damo]

Rank longhop from Santner gets results.

[booboo]

Generational change.

I've never heard of most of these Lankans. And we play them every year it seems.

[booboo]

Noice Lochie

[No Quarter]

LOL yeah "beautiful shot"

[booboo]

Ish seems to be bowling medium pace.

Too quick to get spin?

[booboo]

But who cares ...

[booboo]

Who ARE these Lankans? I know none of them
