The first New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Test match ended in a thrilling victory for the home side by just two wickets, producing one of the most exhilarating red-ball games in recent times. Nuwan and Hasith get down to analyse this match in detail, and praise Sri Lanka's plucky fight to bring the game to the final over of the final day.Conversely, the final Test match in the Border-Gavaskar series ended in a boring draw, prompting Nuwan and Hasith to question why such games are continuously being allowed to play out which are detrimental to the survival of red ball cricket. They argue that Test nations apart from the Big Three deserve more opportunities to play the five-day game, especially New Zealand, as they have produced more entertaining cricket in this format of late.
