1st Test: New Zealand v Sri Lanka - ketchim - 12-26-2014
Brand new Oval
Christchurch, Dec 26-30, 2014
Re: 1st Test: New Zealand v Sri Lanka - ketchim - 12-26-2014
65.5 Kaushal to McCullum, No double-hundred, no more records!
Gets down to reach the ball on the full,but the fielder was quick to dive forward and pouch
a good catch to give Kaushal his maiden Test wicket.
Christchurch gives the New Zealand captain a standing ovation as he walks back.
What a treat after eight years without Test cricket in the city
[color=black]McCullum c Karunaratne b Kaushal 195

429 - 7 after 80.3 overs
Boxing day in Christchurch, debut for Hagley Oval, green pitch…
there was so much being said about this match and everything has been overshadowed
by another swashbuckling innings from Brendon McCullum : 195

When I saw the scorecard, I thought there was some misktake. 429 runs and 7 wickets in 80 overs of cricket? That is a full days worth of entertainment!

Kiwis leading the way of making TEST as entertaining as ODIs !

0 - 1

Boult to Karunaratne, OUT, gone gone, loud appeal for lbw and given immediately! This one came in instead of swinging away from off stump line, Karunaratne defended on the wrong line and was struck on the back pad in front of the stumps.
100th Test wicket for Boult!
Karunaratne lbw b Boult DUCK !
