Needs to find himself unemployed. It's an appallingly bad decision that anyone with two eyes could have given out, yet someone paid full whack and given a tv screen can't do it. Not good enough.

Boot up the arse from Wright for not sticking to the game plan.

Real happy with the bowling performance, at the break I was sure that the total was not enough on this small ground.
Murali what a performance though, on one leg and dealing with the dew.
I cant believe I am going to say this, but they need to consider bringing Kapu back in place of Silva.
(or even Perera)
Kapu for all his faults actually tries to knock the ball around in the slog. Silva wasn't even trying and failed to nudge it around as well.

I'm surprised Taylor was so PC during his post game interview. I'd lodge a formal complaint against Saheba. Surely if the match referee looks at the conduct of the players he should also look at the conduct of the umpires. Amazingly inept, worse than Ashoka imo.
Huge surprise that NZ collapsed to Murali. Didn't see that coming at all.
Funnily enough, as soon as Franklin and McCullum (?) started hitting it to the outfield the dew finally started coming into play. But by that time the damage was already done.

I don't honestly think thats that bad tbh. There is doubt there but he still maaaay have taken it, the gloves sort of make it a bit harder to tell either way.
Don't think I'd be all that disappointed if that was referred and given not out though. Certainly a thousand times more doubt there than last nights one.

Actually dew has helped SL IMO. Even Murali didn't know which of his off spinners going to turn and which one is going to go straight. The delivery that took Williamson was a cross seam off break, which just kept going with the arm when it landed on the shiny surface. Willamson was playing for a off break.I'm surprised Taylor was so PC during his post game interview. I'd lodge a formal complaint against Saheba.

Disappointing game last night - I don't usually get caught up with talk of 'momentum' but I think NZ really needed a bit of that going into the quarter finals. Beating SL in the subcontinent would have provided a huge shot of 'belief', and the converse applies as well. Now I simply cannot see us beating any team that has a couple of spinners. Or for that matter, fast bowlers like Australia have.
Only way I can see us progressing to the semis now is if we somehow come up against the Windies in the quarter final and they self destruct worse than us.

PS: As disgusted as everyone else at the non-catch third umpire decision. It is categorically worse than any onfield decision that an umpire makes as the third ump has the benefit of numerous replays and still refuses to see what is in front of his eyes.
If 95% of people at home could see that was out on the replay, then why is the ICC recruiting from the other 5%.
