CWC Game #1 Black Caps vs Sri Lanka

Score predictor after 4 balls of an innings can fuck off

Pretty poor bowling so far on a pitch that is slow but not moving much. Henry bowling on leg stump to left handers consistently and Boult not finding length or line.

Perera gone! Henry the destroyer so far....

it was all looking a bit easy for the 'lankans there. We're way too inconsistent with our line & length - maybe trying too hard, not sure, hopefully that wicket sharpens us up.

Henry on a hat trick

hopefully this keeps Southee out of the team moving forward.

Bugger, lol. Great first two balls though.

Fergusson gets one in his first over. SL 53-4

It's picked up since I had a grumble. Great bowling from Ferguson with 147km/h

How rich is that dwarfy Sri lankan fan?

They said he's the quickest in the world in terms of average speed - 145km/h. Pretty impressive.

What a difference a couple of days makes - for Matt Henry anyway. So far, so good.

Matthews and the other Perera still danger men to be rid of.

Nicholls not available, so Munro is opening. He'll doubtless make runs, unless we need him to!

Colin joins the party with a wicket as well. This is getting ugly for Sri Lanka.

@No-Quarter Gets Mathews - the big wicket!

Things going pretty much according to (my) script!

Much better bowling. Restricting runs, taking wickets. All the pressure on the Lankans now.

Hopefully we can get them for under 150 because then we can through caution to the wind in chasing.

Just need that other Perera now. Didn't sort him out in the summer ....

Lachie bowling beautifully. Lankans imploding at 60/6.

Captain Kane shades of Baz circa CWC15 with that fielding effort. Awesome.
