Black Caps v Sri Lanka Test Series

MN5

…….and that’s that.

Sri Lanka may as well enforce the follow on and try and wrap it up before the end of the day.

Even I have got nothing.

Latham looool.

Donsteppa

Cancel the Indian series.

I was hoping for a cheeky 900-3 declared after the wicket settles down then Santner gets 8-42 and we win by 114 runs.

The team that got rolled for 26 are all resting a bit easier in their graves now.

Donsteppa

Even hiding behind the couch seems an exercise in futility in avoiding this wreck.

900/3 is unrealistic. I always keep my comments grounded in reality, as you know.

750/4 will do.

It’s high time KW had a crack at Laras record.

We shouldn’t lose a wicket for a good half hour I reckon.

Lunch is handy like that.

What's the weather doing?
No sudden typhoon pending?

Just an avalanche……

…..of New Zealand wickets.

MN5

Remember the very recent past where we’d get annoyed that Sri Lanka toured New Zealand every summer ( or so it seemed ) and got routinely beaten ?

The tables have turned like a mother fucker and then some.

Donsteppa

Reads like Devon is backing all out attack, rather than an ability to last at the crease.

MN5

I’m calling it now.

Will be some decent scores in the second innings but we’ll lose by an innings and 132 runs.

Go to the TAB now.

Donsteppa

Conway sneaks his average back over 40.

Kane works his way past Inzaman and Miandad on the top all time test run scorers list.

Donsteppa

Conway in attack mode makes it as far as 61.

Wonder how much this is as a result of SL actually playing a test series in England just before. Play test cricket, get better at test cricket etc. these days, all the other cricket these guys play is so far from the concept of test cricket and valuing your wicket etc that it takes time to get used to it again.

I’m desperate for the survival of test cricket and finding some superstars in the nations outside of the Rich 3 would incentivise that I reckon

Donsteppa

Williamson now four runs ahead of Virat on the all time top test run scorers.
