Blackcaps v Sri Lanka

[Chris B.]

35 off the last 3 overs - we need 58 from the final 10.

Light? Rain? Wickets? Any of these going to stop us?

[No Quarter]

Uh oh

[Chris B.]

@No-Quarter Couple of cheap overs and Mitch Jr.s wicket and suddenly it's looking steeper.

[canefan]

Are we going to do an England?

[KiwiMurph]

Surely this is the one time you promote Southee.

If he fails just shut up shop

[Chris B.]

@KiwiMurph Bracewell in.

44 off 6 overs.

I think you can keep going hard till 8 down as long as Kane is still there and our last two only need to negotiate a dozen balls.

[Cyclops]

@Chris-B

Once the target is down to about 30 or so I think the non-Kane batsman probably goes for it. At that point a couple of boundaries are decisive.

[Cyclops]

Not watching so can't see the field but if it's back these two working ones and twos get there. Maybe that's the plan until the field is forced to come in and then the non-Kane batter goes over the top.

[Chris]

If Bracewell could hit the ball it would help.

[bayimports]

@Chris at least he ground his bat this time

[Chris B.]

...and then breaks the shackles.

20 to win from 3 overs.

[MN5]

Jesus, what a finish

[Crazy Horse]

Step on up Southee

Did not last long enough though.

[Higgins]

Who is the next batsman?

[Chris B.]

Fuck ya, Braces! Why couldn't you pump that into the stand!!!

[Gunner]

One boundary here will almost be enough, in between one’s and two’s.

C’mon lads!

[bayimports]

great catch under pressure...faaark

[Chris B.]

Thought they'd bounce Timmy. 6 or out were likely options.
