Black Caps vs Sri Lanka

I feel like Bracewell and Mitchell are going to be big in this game again after the new ball fades.

Thushara looked like he was taking a bite out of the ball before bowling.

Sri Lankans certainly love that slinging action, can’t be good on the shoulders.

Some good bowling from him but a good start so far from NZ

Canes4life

Fantastic start by the Wellington openers.

78/0 off 6.4 overs.

Robinson on 36
Ravindra on 39

MN5

Sri Lanka drop a couple of absolute screamers. Very tough chances.

That one on the boundary would have been one of the best ever if he managed to haul it in.

Binura looks just like Princes bass player in the 80s.

Gets a wicket too, possibly inevitable due to all the hitting out

Is chapman the worst player to ever play for NZ. Why haven’t they given Jacobs a go.

Shit no.

Mitchell will see us home

Bracewell coming in now is a good thing. He will love this small ground.

Our 10th highest run getter in T20 cricket. Has played some cracking innings for NZ.

Glen Phillips has been a missing in this series far to expensive with the ball and failing with the bat.

Squeaky bum time for NZ, probably should have paid Hasaranga a bit more respect and play each ball on its merit.

And he smokes one and they pull off a specey.

BCs collapsing. Will be tough to get home from here.

Cyclops

That feels pretty decisive, we don't have the batting to get home from here.

Well done NZ reaching 200, but needed one of our bigger names to be at the crease for the late overs. Good win SL. Entertaining game at least

Bovidae

Ravindra or Mitchell needed to go on.

Built almost entirely on games outside of NZ

His record in NZ is poor.

Missed opportunity to have a look at Jacobs

And now Jacobs isn't involved in the ODIs.

All of the top/middle order had at least one substantial score (40+) except Phillips.
