Blackcaps v Sri Lanka

@Damo said in Blackcaps v Sri Lanka:
Not as many as we should have got but should be more than enough.
Yeah a bunch of ok scores from a bunch of guys I’ve never heard of added up to a decent total.
SL already thinking about the plane ride home judging from their batting.

Weather in CHC looking ugly today. Any Ferners able to give a prediction on whether play might actually happen? Or is it a total wash?

Sure mate.
I predict a frustrating day, pretty stop-start for a while, ultimately ending in the game being abandoned.
Of course I'm in Sydney, so you should probably take that prediction with a grain of salt.

so assuming weather doesn't wash this out .. a bit of an important one, not necessarily for us and the comp no one cares about, but losing puts SL in the qualifiers
Big picture - Sri Lanka are headed for the WC qualifiers

Forget the World Test Championship, forget the ODI Cricket World Cup, Super League bragging rights are what we play the game for.

@bayimports Someone posted about that Super League a week or so ago and that was the first time I'd ever heard there was such a thing!

also - the least advertised Ford Trophy final between CD and Canterbury is live and free on youtube. Delayed because of cyclones previously.

And CD are going well in their chase for 214 with 156 (for four) of them knocked off in 34 overs after a decidedly shaky start. Incidentally it is currently nice and sunny at McLean Park which can be a bit if a rarity when you schedule a cricket match in the HB

@Higgins bloody good effort on a tough pitch. I watched a few overs and it was magnificently amateur coverage. Highlight being one of the few camera at the ground focussed on the wrong player taking a catch, so got a great shot of fist pumping celebrations.
Overall though it's great to see cricket on TV, I'm a tragic. Still think NZC and Spark missed a trick not showing plenty of domestic cricket this season with the Caps away for most of the summer

Very nearly 26/4.
Sri Lanka survive an LBW review.
Watching live I was sure that was out, but ball tracking shows it going over the top.
Edit, watching the side on replay, it looks to me like it would’ve gone on to hit the stumps…
Anywho… it’s not out.

Henry is a ridiculously good new ball bowler.
Great spell today, but we also have to note this SL one day has slipped so low in ratings they will have to qualify for next tournament because of their woeful batting of late.
56/4 hoping they get enough to set some target to watch us bat
