New Zealand v Sri Lanka 2023 Mar 9- Apr 8 (2 Tests, 3 ODIs & 3 T20s)

Test # 2500.

 

[Plugger35]

Conway gone for 78.

The moment of truth for Nicholls, he needs to deliver.

Nichols for a century this test

 

[ioppolo]

Can't believe Doug Bracewell is only 32, he must've only been 21 or so when he bowled NZ to victory in the Hobart test Warner made 123*

The commentators mentioned that this is his first test in 7 years, that's a long time between drinks.

Nicholls getting a let off with the new SL keeper dropping a catch.

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like bad light will end play.

Nicholls lives to fight another day.

I had a dream that Johan Botha was playing for Sri Lanka in this test and dropped a caught and bowled chance.

 

[yabsy]

I heard it's the first NZ haven't played a left arm bowler in a test since 1997!

[Plugger35]

A great session for the Black Caps, getting the total over 300 with no loss of wickets, a ton for Williamson and Nicholls saving his bacon with a 72 no.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Pitch is flattening out, bowlers are tiring. Williamson is feasting, up to 142 now. Batting looks easy, even for Nichols today.

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like Rajitha has injured his shoulder diving to try and save that boundary, will be a big blow for Sri Lanka if he can't come back on and bowl.

To think some people were writing off Williamson as being cooked after the first test against England, he has now scored 3 tons in every test since.

Never write off champions.

 

[Plugger35]

Nicholls dropped again.

The Sri Lankans are doing their best to save his test career.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Nicholls dropped again.

The Sri Lankans are doing their best to save his test career.

20 times past 50 in tests. I'd put money on that at least 15 of those he was dropped before getting to 50.

He's our version of Marnus, gets so much luck.

 

[Plugger35]

Nicholls bringing up his ton.

He has a habit of pulling out a ton just when he is on the verge of being dropped which then keeps him in the team for another run of poor scores.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

2/443 at tea KW 189, Nichols 130. NZ have scored 288 runs for 0 wickets so far today.

Expect some fireworks for an hour after tea then a declaration.

Williamson could score 1000 today I reckon.

 

[Plugger35]

Williamson gone for 215.

Looked like he had got sick of scoring runs and just wanted a rest.

Don't think a declaration will be too far away now with the score getting close to 500.

 

[Plugger35]

Nicholls on track for a double hundred.

We will never get rid of him at this rate.

 

[danielnajdek]

When does Sri Lanka tour here.

Easy average booster for the batsmen.

 

[Plugger35]

Nicholls gets his double hundred and Southee has decided he wants to have a bowl.

 

[Plugger35]

Henry with the wicket of Fernando edging to Blundell and he nearly had another wicket in this over with that edge just falling short.

 

[Plugger35]

Conway takes a screamer to give Doug Bracewell a wicket in his first over.

 

[MJG14]

I check the score for this Test for the first time and am shocked to see Doug Bracewell playing.
