Black Caps vs Sri Lanka
-
Black Caps struggling against Sri Lanka.
Ravindra fails again on home soil, do we just pick him outside NZ? His record in NZ must be dire at this point.
-
44/3 off 7.2 overs. BCs going at a snails pace.
-
BCs rocketed up to 131/5 off 15.4 overs. Bracewell and Mitchell going very well now. Run rate up to 8.84

Mitchell and Michael Bracewell starting to fire some shots. Surprised Beast hasn’t played more for NZ, if he gets going he’s one of the most explosive t20 players to watch with the bat.

I think he's wasted a bit at seven. I understand the rationale of having him as a hitter from ball one as a finisher. But, there is no way he should bat below Mitch Hay amongst others

I wouldn’t mind seeing Bracewell open instead of Ravindra. He was very good there a few years back for Wellington when they won the Super Smash. Ravindra doesn’t suit opening IMO.

All a bit easy for Sri Lanka. Missed the start of our innings - were conditions much tougher?
I'm a bit sceptical when I see a scorecard like our innings - the lower order cashing in can often be a sign that the top order bungled things, rather than a miraculous recovery than saves the game.

Bit of a limp wristed performance. Visiting team, and we can't even take a bloody wicket. Weird Santner hasn't used Phillips

Turns out we can take some wickets.
