Bouncy and fast.

Looks like there's half an hour of dribble before the game starts.

cheers dude looks like a bowl first and get bond and franklin to chip out a few early ones i prefer NZ chasing and i think our history shows we are better at chasing (could be wrong)

I tend to watch from my bed. Stay awake as long as possible then snooze and wake up every hour or so to catch up. If it's interesting Iwill have no problem staying awake.

Interesting choice by Sri Lanka to bat first

[Big Dan]

bowl first bad start already losing the toss

I don't know, possibly early movement, bond can strike early this could be a blessing in disguise

[Big Dan]

true i very much like the look of this team great batting depth to #10

[alexthekidd]

Restraining Sri Lanka will be a big thing though, like Bond said, if Jayasuriya really gets going it could easily spell good bye for the Kiwis, couple of early wickets though, back it up in the middle overs with Jeetz and Vettori could be good. Sri Lanka also missing Maharoof so not as much big hitting power near the bottom of the order

here goes gentlemen players coming out enjoy and good luck black caps do us proud

Thought i'd just put in the pitch report for the person that was asking before

Neither side has played at Sabina Park during the tournament, where the pitch is expected to provide extra bounce. No one's sticking their necks out too far, but even the bits of wear and tear on the surface should really come into consideration as the day progress. Muttiah Muralitharan told Ian Smith that it looked like a "real Sri Lankan surface". Interesting, very interesting.
