Asif certainly has gotten done today. Won't be an easy chase at all.

Kashif, no Razzaq helps the matters.
 
Why can't these players field well? You wouldn't expect this sort of fielding from an under 10's side.

Asif is learning it hard way...next time he goes into someone face, he will have to think twice....good job Jaya..

what do u want from a bowler to do.. go to the batsman and say "as salam o alakum warakh matullah" :12:
 
Finally a wicket! This may be to little to late though. Why Malik hasn't bowled himself or given Fawad Alam a try is beyond me.
 
good over from Hafeez. 3 runs and a wicket

Get real! As a fast bowler you need to be agressive. I have seen far worse from the 2 Ws Shoaib and countless Aussie and Windies quicks. The best bowlers in the world can look like mugs every so often in a ODI.
 
8 overs left. Rehamn comes back on.

btw Maharoof is in
 
Its amazing how one game we say that Malik has captained brilliantly, and now we have some saying he is exactly like Inzi because we are in a bad position.

Nice job guys.
 
"what do u want from a bowler to do.. go to the batsman and say "as salam o alakum warakh matullah"

you must be out of your mind to expect such stuff from a bowler......wait till an indian does it and i will love to see your reaction to that....what asif did was stupid and i m so glad that he got it back from Jaya....a good learning session for the lad
 
Surprised Maharoof is in to bat. Amazing how Malik bowled so well last game and then now decides not to bowl. Or give Alam a try. I dunno how his mind works. Must have SOME reason though.

he was being sarcastic.
 
Guys - how can you forget the stiflingly hot conditions that our bowlers are bowling under!!

Temperatures are soaring in the mid 40s in direct sunlight - its a miracle that no one has died in that heat !

well its seems like you can't tell the diff between stupid and aggression ....just coz what those guys did, doesn't make it right for someone else to do....

asif was being as stupid as Aamir Sohail was in 96...simpel as that..
 
good over from Rehman. 231 for 4

7 overs remaining.

Rehman has been tidy today against a team that plays spin well.

i can't believe malik is continuing with hafeez ... this is like inzi captaining again.
Well unless Malik is going to have XI brand new players in the team....what do you expect?
 
kashif77 said:
rehman back in hmmmmnnnn...



actually seems like a decent move ... malik is just trying to restrict the amount of runs the lanka gets.

if he was to bowl asif .. yeah there might be a wicket but it would come way to expensively and at this stage would not be worth it.
 
next ball goner !!!!!

caught and bowled by Hafeez. Good catch
 
ITSALL good bros

we need all the players clicking and firing !!

ALAM AND MALIK saving their energy for the singles and doubles !!!!!!!!!!!

this is a dead rubber and we have a new bowler in the team - fawad alam .

this would have been a good time to introduce him instead of heaving hafeez bowl his full quota.
 
Sri Lanka 240/5 (43.5 ov)


nex ball after the 6 he out !!! lol teased him nicely hey

I would expect my batsman not to be a ***** cat but be like Miandad and wield the bat at the Indian pie throwers head.
 
241 for 5 from 44 overs.

Hafeez 10 overs 2 for 55.

Rehman, Asif and Rao with overs remaining

Actually, it was cheap shot at Inzi.

Anything you dont like about Malik will be presented as 'Just like Inzi.....'
 
and be kicked ou in the next match..just like Boom Boom was after what he did in SA
 
Flicked straight into Salman Butt's Bucket at deep square and Asif gets another
 
Loukarachi gone.

Deep mid wicket, caught Butt bowled Asif. Easy catch.

Pak doing well here

ur making a poor generalization.

yes i did stick a bit about inzi in there .. but w/e that wasn't my main point.

not giving a new a guy a bowl in a dead rubber doesn't make any sense to me.
 
3 quick wickets...could restrict them to 280 if we get Silva now
 
If we nab Dilshan or Silva in the next couple of overs SL will defo be restricted under 280.
 
Under 280 will be a great comeback from what was once looking like 300+ easy.

So stick to blaming Malik 100% rather than a pathetic cheap jibe at a player thats retired and a million miles away from the team at the moment!
 
246 for 6 from 45 overs.

Asif being a bit loose with the noballs here.

Rehman to bowl 1, Rao to bowl 2 and Asif 2 overs.
 
SL have scored 33 in the last 5 overs. If we restrict them to that sort of score in the next 5 the will end up with 279.
 
Slow over rate here. Times u0p and 4 overs still left to bowl - must be Inzi's fault ! :)
 
aaah rubbish !!!

4 byes, poor delivery down the leg side from Rehman - cheap runs
 
That's a hilarious dismissal. That would have been a wide outside off but he's flicked it onto his stumps via the inside edge :)). Silva gone.
 
aaah brilliant

bowled him. Inside edge onto the stumps. Key wicket of Silva
 
Great comeback...looks like we'll be chasing about 270...not bad at all considering where SL were at the 30 over mark
 
Run out from fine leg. Great pick up and throw from Rao on the boundary.

I wouldnt say 270 yet, it probably will be more.
 
Superb fielding by Rao.

Throw from the boundary, right over the stumps !
 
sri lanka always make a mess out of the end of their innings... champions trophy 2006 match against us was good example and now again here.
 
Pakistan clawing their way back. WOW - great fielding from Rao, lovely commitment.
 
Thats what I am talking about, a run out from the boundary are words not associated with Pakistan cricket, things are looking a good for the boyz!
 
Good effort by Rao, all round, great commitment. He is one of those unsung heroes. nothing spectacular but good enough, committed and work hard.

Rao is having a golden day - I say we bat him at 3...who knows he might score a 100?
 
We'll bowl them out if we keep Dilshan off strike for 3-4 deliveries because the tailenders will commit suicide.
 
4 singles from that Asif over 262 for 8.

Come on Pak lets get them all out.
 
anything under 300 - OUR batsmen SHOULD be able to get !!!

depends on our batting really now dont it??

  1. not bringing fawwad he should get a chance in this dead rubber other wise he will bowl in pressure match
    why he bowl najaf in b/w when he is beter than both (speed wise) and not bring fawwad

Don't worry Saj a 'blame inzi' comitee has immediatly been set up comprising of PCB paid ex player Sarfraz and current player Akthar to convinetly shift the blame of the slow over rate, President President Mugabe's rein, Mohammed Sami's differing hair cuts, and just about anything else wrong with the world on the one and only Inzi.
