Haha, poor Nicholls for the kiwis. Hits a nice drive which ricochets off his batting partner's bat and somehow chips it perfectly to mid-on.

What's the odds that Warner will be ineffectual in this series, as he usually is in tests in Asia?

I’m hoping Khawaja continues his recent sub continent form with the bat.

It’s going to be a tough series.

Him and Smith finding his old form will be important. Don't feel convinced about Head on the subcontinent either

Just so you are aware there are about 15 different live scoring services online for anyone who wants Ball by ball updates. Surely you have better things to do with your time?

These little Sri Lonkons have a batting line up with the strength of tissue paper. And it's not as if I'm that confident in ours.
