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.

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

Shit no.

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.
-
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.

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

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.
-
Glen Phillips was a star in India and like a few others decided to go on holiday since then. Couldn’t catch a flu currently and gets more runs from Sri Lankan street food than off the bat.
Hope form comes back soon
-
On the plus side. What a massive series for Jake Duffy. Has to play in the one dayers. Him, Henry and O'Rourke as the primary seamers. Phillips could be the man in danger of missing out. Weather looking shit in Wellington for the first game of the series on Sunday.

@Chris having seen more of him than me, and being a coach, I am interested in your thoughts on Foulkes. From the little I have seen he looks to be struggling to control the inswing (which seems a lot more pronounced than many bowlers going around at the moment) and as such I get the feeling it is hurting his confidence and rhythm. I got the same feeling when I have watched him bowling for Canterbury.
I wonder if a kid like him would be better suited to clocking up the miles in the longer game where he could learn about his bowling without the immediate pressure of the limited over game? I also think this could help his batting - I recall McMillan saying a couple of seasons ago he thought Foulkes was a better batter than bowler, but I have yet to see any evidence of that.
Foulkes looks to have some promise, but I would hate to see his confidence destroyed.
