Sri Lanka v New Zealand, 2nd Test, Colombo (PSS), 25-29 November, 2012

Aye, we get supersports' telecasts here for Saffer games. Pathetic's a compliment, and he seems to get a gig everywhere he goes.

Sri Lanka have won the match avoided the follow on.

Bad light stopping play with the snoozies determined to cock up. 97 run unbeaten stand for the seventh wicket.

Kane Williamson takes an amazing catch at slip, flying to his left footie goalkeeper style.

SL all out 244, some 170 runs behind.

Look up that catch You Tube, I'm sure it'll get there in a day or two, if not sooner.

Apparently they've had to change the ball because of loss of shape some- I kid you not - some 10-12 times since yesterday.

Since this morning I've seen it changed about 5 times.

snoozies seem to be going the tonk...guppy gone but they have 200 lead with 9 wickets in hand...

if you were a snoozie their team would be hard to follow...Taylor for example can make a great score then a string of failures...Southee look like carp then take bags

The Snoozies really are the Bangers of the South:

19.5
Kulasekara to Williamson, OUT, edged to first slip! Lose shot by Williamson gives Kula his first wicket. That was bowled on a length, but it was a touch wider and moved away, the batsman chased it away from the body and edged it straight to the lone slip. One of the first innings' centurion back in the hut now.
KS Williamson c Paranavitana b Kulasekara 18 (42b 0x4 0x6) SR: 42.85



19.6
Kulasekara to Flynn, OUT, and another one bites the dust! This one is bowled fulled and swings back in to Flynn who was half-stretching forward in defence. The ball evades the bat, hits the pad first and then the pad, the umpire has no hesitation in giving that one. Second for Kula and he is on a hattrick. This match is getting interesting more and more interesting by the minute. That would have taken the off stump out
DR Flynn lbw b Kulasekara 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

End of over 20 (5 runs) New Zealand 74/4
KMDN Kulasekara 8-2-33-2
LRPL Taylor 9* (7b) HMRKB Herath 6-1-19-1


20.1
Herath to Taylor, 1 run, flatter delivery on the pads, turned to fine leg for a single


20.2
Herath to van Wyk, OUT, caught at leg slip! What's going on! That was drifting down the leg side and Sri Lanka had smartly moved the short leg fielder to a leg slip position for Kruger van Wyk. He is not able to control is tickle to leg side and plays it straight to the hands of the fielder. That was more of an inside edge actually. He wanted to defend it towards mid-on
CFK van Wyk c Paranavitana b Herath 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Stoopid sheep.

Pre lunch Lanka were taking a new ball every second over. Fourth ball already.

56/1 to 75/5... f*cking ridiculous

Todd Astle is the messiah. Eranga looks a but dodgy sometimes, could be the weird approach though.

Astle dropped. Cue flamboyant run to his century.

And also run out, but no appeal.

Nahhh. He is throwing a javelin, isn't he?

Could well be. Sometimes he looks like a priper chucka.

The effort ball, especially.

Nothing will be done, though. Nowt.

Aye, worse around than him.

Southee's a plank.

So do NZ have enough?

Seems well enough now. Dilshan is shit.

Sanga gone as well

That'll learn him for wearing oversized buttock pads.

They're getting f*cked now. Jaya playing shite.

And gone

Crap effort that was from Jaya. And I do wonder why they don't start earlier? Every single day they've lost time to bad light.
