Match Thread: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka

[allrounder]

NewZealand decided to bat first and lost 2 wickets for 4 runs. This is great going by Sri Lanka and they do not have Malinga.

[Banglatiger84]

New Zealand are 5-2 after 6 overs, Vaas' figures are 3-2-1-1 !!!

Shows that even NZ will struggle on bouncier pitches.

[sandpiper]

yep, Lankans are turning the screw here. after 7 overs scoreboard reads 6/2
Malinga is out but Chaminda is on song. its gonna be a thrilling encounter i guess

[ialbd]

it'll be srilanka's revenge of the warm-up game...

[Hatebreed]

NZ 219-7, not so bad. I want SL to win this and make NZ more determined to beat SA.

[Russell2k7]

Yeah there was an maiden over from Dilshan or else score would been 225-230 for NZ.

[Russell2k7]

220 should be easy one for SRL. Lets see how good Bond really is.

[BangladeshCricket]

What a come back to score 200+. This is called real cricket...and look what our batters did yesterday. neways, good come back and SL have to fight really hard and hope their openning pair clicks.

man look at Jayasuriya, his contemporary players are retiring for bad form and this guy is like starting all over again.....

[allrounder]

He couldn't have done that alone on his own, he got great support from his partners and the rest of the team's performance too. While Lara is not getting any help and so every time he is emerged under so much pressure it is drowning him and pulling is confidence down.

Great fightback from lanka though little fumble while chasing but good comeback..good cricket.

[sandpiper]

[ialbd]

SL vs Aus shud be the final.... if not the semi-final....

[Protic]

Now the kiwis should beat the proteus.
