New Zealand V Sri Lanka: 1st Test - Jade Stadium, Christchurch

DMC · 06-12-2006 10:28PM #1

Great to see New Zealand test matches being covered by Sky Sports. Long may this continue

G'wan the Black Caps.

News is Sri Lanka won the toss, and inexplicably, in NZ conditions and a green-top an Irish groundsman would be proud of, Mahela Jayawardene decided to bat

Now they find themselves after 12 overs and an hour of play, at 50/3

SL 110/6 at drinks in the afternoon session.

126-8 now,god there`s only a hand full of people there

DMC · 07-12-2006 01:54AM

132/9 .... A huge 6 and then out by Maharoof .... Oram doing the job. Chris Martin took his 100th test wicket today, with what seems like years to get off 99!

And in comes Murali.... this will be short, but sweet

county · 07-12-2006 02:01AM

new zealand have dropped him twice in a matter of minutes

county · 07-12-2006 02:07AM

154 all out,Murali got a quick 14(4th highest score in their innings)

DMC · 07-12-2006 02:08AM

14 off 9 balls.

And that's tea.

For some reason, I'm staying up later for this match than any of the Ashes. *boggle*

Questions must be asked as to how far down the pecking order Paul Allott has fallen, that he's doing the overnights on this series. And why bring Jeremy Coney all the way from NZ for this? He's one of the more articulate commentators, imo.

Listening to Radio Sport online for the night.... local ads are good.

NZ 88/2 this morning
