CWC Game #1 Black Caps vs Sri Lanka
-
I figure the other games can all go in the generic CWC thread but the BC games deserve their own thread
We've seriously had the wood over Sri Lanka in recent years, there should be nothing that surprises us given how regularly we play them.
Absolute must win game, as @Chris-B has said we must beat the lesser teams to have a chance.
I love the format of this tournament - everyone plays everyone to decide the top 4. Can't get much fairer than that.
Bring it on!

I thought that was pitching outside leg live. Great review, and great start. Pitch looks nice and green so will suit Henry.
-
Boult looking very likely. Need those edges to go to hand.
-
it was all looking a bit easy for the 'lankans there. We're way too inconsistent with our line & length - maybe trying too hard, not sure, hopefully that wicket sharpens us up.

hopefully this keeps Southee out of the team moving forward.

Fergusson gets one in his first over. SL 53-4

It's picked up since I had a grumble. Great bowling from Ferguson with 147km/h
They said he's the quickest in the world in terms of average speed - 145km/h. Pretty impressive.
-
Colin joins the party with a wicket as well. This is getting ugly for Sri Lanka.
-
@No-Quarter Gets Mathews - the big wicket!
Things going pretty much according to (my) script!
-
Captain Kane shades of Baz circa CWC15 with that fielding effort. Awesome.

Just need that other Perera now. Didn't sort him out in the summer ....
Puts one into the stands. He's dangerous as hell.
-
Thank f*ck for that.
Thata boy Santner.

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

Neesh bowls another shit delivery but gets a wicket for his troubles. 8 down now.
-
Ferg has been superb - that was a vicious delivery. Latham too short to catch it.
-
Boult finally gets in on the act.
Probably the best part of this bowling effort is we haven't relied on Boult to get all the wickets.
