P16 Layout 1 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2015 SPORTS Guptill smashes NZ to big win over S Lanka CHRISTCHURCH: New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum will have a nagging back injury re- assessed today after he left the field during his side’s comprehensive 10-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in their second one-day international yester- day. McCullum left the field midway through Sri Lanka’s innings at Hagley Oval in Christchurch and with regular vice-captain Kane Williamson nursing a sore knee, turned the captaincy over to Ross Taylor. Test opener Tom Latham, who was brought into the side as cover for Williamson, played an anchor role in McCullum’s place as Martin Guptill flirted with a world record to smash his side to their 118- run victory target in 8.2 overs. The 34-year-old McCullum has been battling the back injury for years with it partially responsible for his decision to retire after the Australia series in February. “It’s not too bad. It’s a bit stiff so we will re-assess it tomor- row,” McCullum said in a televised interview. The aggressive right hander had combined with Guptill in an 108-run opening partnership in a seven-wick- et victory on the same pitch two days ago, but said he had been happy to put his feet up to watch Guptill destroy Sri Lanka yesterday. “It was a superb innings. You can’t describe it,” McCullum said. “It’s something you witness only once or twice in your life.

Over the past seventeen years this format has grown leaps and bounds and is very keenly watched by all stakeholders involved with the game. The popularity and the growth of T20 has led to cricket boards taking this format with uttermost seriousness and every major cricket playing nation has its own international team and domestic league. Over the past seventeen years the strategies involved in succeeding in this format have also evolved and teams at the international, franchise and domestic level are trying to evolve their playbook to gain a comparative advantage. Seventeen years since T20 cricket started, preparation for matches globally have changed from casual chats in team meetings.
