Oh my god that's brilliant.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-22-2015, 08:43 PM

NZ just turned the grave danger of 5/93 into 5/360.

Ronchi with 170, Elliott with 104.

Axver · 01-22-2015, 09:27 PM

Ahahahaha! Ronchi's 170 was off 99 too. Wow.

And I keep forgetting these are day games so I miss the first innings.

dan_smee · 01-22-2015, 09:30 PM

Ronchi scored 170? I'm lucky I didn't put that bet on SL to win the World Cup I was thinking about a month ago...

dan_smee · 01-22-2015, 09:32 PM

170 has to be the highest score ever by a number 7, surely?

Also, how is Matt henry not the first fast bowler picked for NZ. The kid is a massive talent, and has a phenominal record.

He was hitting it so cleanly. In the zone.

I've been wondering this too.

And you're right about Ronchi's 170 being a record for a number 7. The previous best was MS Dhoni's 139* in Asia XI vs Africa XI in 2007, or if we stick to normal games then Jos Buttler's 121 vs Sri Lanka last year.

Moeen Ali hitting 3 sixes in a row.

Last one Shaun Marsh caught it but was practically falling over the boundary rope.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-22-2015, 11:32 PM

There's already a memorabilia set for Steve Smith in the last test series? Bloody hell.

Axver · 01-22-2015, 11:36 PM

Good grief! On both counts.

And Dilshan's got a century. Sri Lanka need ten runs an over to win from here, but Dilshan's set them up admirably and they've been picking up the pace. With eight wickets in hand this could go either way.

Axver · 01-22-2015, 11:50 PM

Jayawardene goes one over, and Dilshan the next! Crucial wickets, to put it lightly. Sri Lanka now 4/215, needing 146 off the remaining 13.4 overs - which means the required run rate is closing in on 11.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-22-2015, 11:52 PM

NZ are definitely safe now. Even with Dilshan it would've required him to get 150+ plus somebody else to make a half century. I'd guess Sri Lanka will still try and go all out but eventually fall at about 280-290.

Axver · 01-23-2015, 12:01 AM

Kulasekara fell, third wicket in three overs! I'm definitely feeling more confident. While Dilshan was at the crease and Sri Lanka had eight wickets in hand, it felt they could launch for a T20-style slogathon. They need a miracle now.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-23-2015, 12:03 AM

6 down now. Good stuff.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-23-2015, 12:05 AM

Williamson looked so dumbfounded taking that catch.

Axver · 01-23-2015, 12:12 AM

Five wickets in five overs!

Vlad n U 2 · 01-23-2015, 12:24 AM

All done for 252. Too easy in the end. Pretty emphatic finish.

Axver · 01-23-2015, 12:30 AM

What a dismal collapse by Sri Lanka after all that work done by Dilshan. That said, New Zealand were lucky to have that epic Rochi/Elliott stand to even make the game competitive, let alone put it out of reach!

Now I can turn my attention to the England vs Australia game. Bell's on form today by the looks...

Vlad n U 2 · 01-23-2015, 12:44 AM

I don't think there was very much Sri Lanka could do. They barely lost any wickets for their first 200 runs, and not having Angelo Matthews today wasn't much help to them. Even when they were going well their RR was always below the RRR. Though to say that the Sri Lankan lower order gave away their wickets much too cheaply would be accurate, but then they had little choice.

Surprised by England's performance so far.
