Sri Lanka v New Zealand, 1st Test, Galle, 14-18 August, 2019

That’s some chase... Snoozers lose their chance of the number 1 ranking, the same weekend they lost said ranking at rugby despite winning 36-0!

Sri Lanka appear to be the new Pakistan, in that you never quite know what you’re going to get, except unlike with Pakistan, you can’t really see how SL have the raw talent to pull off these results.

And that, as beams says, pretty well farks NZ's chances of their first ever stint at no. 1

I think they might be back. They have a history of scaring teams away.

Probably a touch of World Cup hangover in Snoozonia as well.
