Vettori back for #NZvSL. Let's hope his arthritis doesn't play up #CT13

Franklin, Vettori, Mills.That's three zimmerframes in the pavilion.

nathan mccullum playing in a side led by his younger brother brendon mccullum is a definite 'conflict of interest' for me. #ct13 #slvsnz

Reassuring to see Daniel Vettori remembers he bowls with the left hand #ct13

Daniel Vettori's last ODI wicket in 2011 was Mahela Jayawardene. LBW in the World Cup, just like today in #CT13.

NZ wants to finish this one early so they can properly prepare for the Game of Thrones finale #SLvNZ #ct13

Sri Lanka looked rattled, and it had nothing to do with the noise coming from @NotVettori 's pill container. #NZvSL #CT13

Sangakkara playing an innings that is now more commonly termed as a 'Misbah'. #NZvSL #CT13

per*fec*tion (p r-f k sh n). 1. The quality or condition of being perfect. 2. A Sangakkara cover drive. #CT13

BREAKING: Australia plan to recall Luke Ronchi from his loan to NZ, as a result of his convincing 1* against Sri Lanka. #CT13

If NZ lose a wicket, Kyle Mills is padded up to come out as a lunch watchman #ct13 #nzvsl

Probably the single greatest kind of dismissal in cricket: the batsman ducking the full toss. #SLvNZ #CT13

Kane Williamson just Chris Read-ed a Malinga slower ball

We've repeatedly referred to this cricketing era as one where teams strive to be "the least worst." On full show here in #CT13.

Malinga squeezes out extra micrograms of adrenaline from his glands and commands his cells to respond - they blast one beneath the bat #ct13

That noise you can hear is bums squeaking in the New Zealand dressing room

If only Chris Martin was next into bat. #ct13

Cricket at its best, 2 tailenders, 1 wicket to survive and 6 toe-crushers to evade!!

I have no idea how Southee managed to deal with Malinga. Pretty sure I'd just run away. #ct13
— Lucie Muddell (@muddymouse) June 9, 2013
That was close. #ChampionsTrophy
— Ross Taylor (@RossLTaylor) June 9, 2013
So basically the Kiwis barely managed a big victory #CT13 #NZvSL
