Cricket - NZ vs Sri Lanka
-
what strikes me is that Latham bats time and balls - with the middle order he's got to protect, I'll take that everytime. I like that he can act as a fulcrum for others to bat around him. And Nicholls is really growing on me in terms of application and graft - something I'm not used to at #5 for NZ.

Poohs. Latham out. 176.
Tea.
Soooo ... 535 the lead.
Declare now or give Col an hour (if he can make it that long) of ODI death batting? Make it a 6-hundy chase in 13 hours?
Option A is roughly 2.5/over.
I'm a fan of option B (approx 3.5 per over).
But would take either.

Careful fellas. Similar bold predictions were thrown around last test before they dug in and saved it.
Mind you two whole days looks a bridge way too far.

Let’s hope that on Sunday we’re not saying, ‘quite the change from mid-afternoon on the 28th’.....

Sitting relaxing and watching with my oldest son, I was about his age when I got info cricket in a big way and this current BC team has enough heroes to get him excited if I teach him right.
He's taken a particular liking to Wagner cos he bowls fast and is left handed like Dad.

You don't think Shayne O'Connor or Murphy Su'a would have had the same appeal back in the day?

Luckily for me Paddles was at his peak when I started watching seriously.
