Cricket - NZ vs Sri Lanka

[Mokey]

Latham and Patel both have batting high scores. Latham on 245, Patel on 6. Latham just survived a very strong catch appeal. Wonder if they will declare when he reaches 250. Lead is currently 266.

[Godder]

Probably declare around drinks, then have an hour at them tonight and come back fresh tomorrow.

[Mokey]

Patel just clean bowled.

[Mokey]

Having a drinks break, NZ have opted to bat on.

[rotated]

Strange batting from Latham, either massively values the * or 250. Needed to get a bit more aggressive after Southee went if 300 was going to be a chance.

[No Quarter]

Comon Tommy smack your way to the triple!

[Virgil]

6th highest score, Bryan young’s 267 next to over take

[Mokey]

Latham's average has just hit 40.

[Mokey]

It hardcore amuses me to see our #11 batsman hitting fours. Go Trent.

[Mokey]

And it's over. All out for 578.

Lead: 296. Latham n/o 264.

Boult is very good for an 11

[Virgil]

Latham gets to carry his bat.

[Donsteppa]

Carried bat = Legend Latham.

I see what you did there..

[Mokey]

@virgil I'm sure I don't know what you mean...

Twelve overs for the Lankans to face. I nominate Southee and Wagner full throttle since they did nothing with the bat.

Fuck old mate Southee gets shit on here. He got six fucken wickets!!!!

[Mokey]

@mn5 And now he needs to get six more.

[Cyclops]

Highest ever score while carrying bat I believe. Cook number two and Turner 3.

An incredibly impressive feat of concentration to bat for that long and that well. Especially with ten others falling by the wayside at the other end.
