And that's stumps. The weather seemed like relenting, but the groundstaff usually know best. Anyway, the rain is still on and by the time it stops and things are ready to go, the light might fade. We will have a 10 am start tomorrow, that is half an hour early.



Stumps - Day 1


Sri Lanka 264/7 (67.0 ov)

New Zealand won the toss and elected to field

Another day...........

I assume that SL will be all out during 1st session and we will get to see how NZ bat on this "green wicket" :roll


I guess the points of interest as play starts are...

Can SL get to 300?

Can Mathews (63*/111) manage to score a century?

ANOTHER point of interest is Chameera's score. He is the bloke who has the "14 curse" He has never scored more than 14 in any form of cricket.

Dushmantha Chameera (rhb) 2*/6

LMAO! at your lalala smiley. I NEED that one ;)

I forgot it started early, tried to get in a scan, gotta reboot (after I watch Chameera).

Excited to see what transpires right off the bat! Image

We lost 23 overs yesterday.(making 8 of them up now)

My prediction that SL were on target to make 350+ on day 1 still holds true... if you regard a day's play as 90 overs :cool

DANG... Mathews out :doh

AD Mathews c Latham b Southee 77 (125b 7x4 3x6) SR: 61.60

Now.......
Will SL make 300?

Will Chameera make 15+?

Will Rigor Richardson STFU and go away?

New ball (after 80 overs) is 6 overs away.

Still lots to look forward to :)

LOL!

I don't have a live stream yet, so I missed him. :stamp

Seems like a slow start, except for the early wicket.

I want to watch Chameera and see what is wrong with him. :)

LOL, oh no.

I finally got stream but it's not Sky, so must have been a network prob.

Anyway, just in time to watch NZ at bat.

Gonna go look at lineup ... sit back, drink my RB and watch. Image

Lunch


Sri Lanka 292
New Zealand 61/0 (20 ov)

New Zealand trail by 231 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

It looks to me like SL are going to struggle to bowl anybody out. Taking 10 NZ wickets (twice) very unlikely.

I cant see SL winning this test match... but NZ might :)
