Bloody atrocious !!! …4 runouts, most of them we were out my miles too, talk about Keystone Cop stuff, looked like our whole batting line-up was trying to execute runouts, hahaha

1st ODI : Sat-31st Jan – { Wgtn } 2pm
2nd ODI : Tue-3rd Feb – { McClean Park, Napier } 2pmTop stuff by our bowlers, but we made it hard yakka to get across the line, especially after been 50 after 5 overs, just needed solid batting after that, instead lost quick wickets shortly after McCullum went out.
NZ v Sri Lanka { Hagley Oval ChCh }
1st ODI : Sun-11th Jan – 11am
Sky Sport 1.Unlike the rest of the top order Williamson {242 not out} and Watling {142 not out} showed great character & patience to dig us out of a huge hole & put pressure back on them, can’t see Sri Lanka getting 345 tomorrow {needing 115 per session} if we can bowl tightly & keep chipping away at their wickets could make it 2 zip.
Our own fault We’re well behind the 8 Ball… really wasted the opportunity of been 2 for 130 in 1st innings, hope they redeem themselves.
FFS ! are our batmen trying to undo all the good work over the last couple of years ? all 4 wickets have been given away, especially McCullum, what the fuck was he thinking ? facing his first ball played right across it cannoning the ball into his stumps, vital now that Williamson can stay there with the others hopefully batting with some bloody sense for us to get a good total.

Great stuff, Sri Lanka got sucked in again by putting us into bat… groundsmen have being watering the pitches to give them a pretty green look, but for quite a few years now our pitches having being seaming around that much.
First session we were 90 odd for 2… both openers were out to rubbish shots, hanging out the washing.
Taylor looks so awkward squaring up when defending, surely needs to be getting more side on to the ball.

McCullum’s a shocker when it comes to winning coin tosses… if they win it hope they put us into bat, let’s get a good first innings score & apply the squeeze on Sri Lanka again.
2nd Test { Basin }
Sat-3rd Jan – 11am
Sky Sport 1.With that win we have now won 5 tests this calendar year… bring on the horse-scratchers from across the ditch.
Phoenix should of never been awarded a penalty to beat Sydney Wanderers 1-0, what a dreadful match… the Phoenix marking was awful, they just let their midfielders & strikers run free, gifting them plenty of opportunities on goal, luckily they were that useless they were unable to take advantage.
Many a time when a corner is taken the ball can go over the top etc through to the other side, so why isn’t there a Phoenix player sweeping at the back to pick up the loose ball so they can keep the pressure on ???
Massive total of 429 for 7 on the first day, mainly due to McCullum, Hope we can score another 70 or so to get past the 500 mark, crazy stuff by Watling near stumps by not going for the review, had nothing to lose & as the replay showed he wouldn’t of been out.
NZ 84 for 2 after the first session… both openers went out to very poor shots, while Rutherford was there played within himself which was good to see, huge pressure on him to keep his place, didn’t get in line with the ball, so ended up leaving a big gap between bat and pad to get bowled, really basic mistake.
