[Madplayer]

Leading edge. Fahim has a chance to become an overnight star today.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

i have a soft spot for Fahim after he bashed our superstars and scored 60 of 25 balls

The boundary is not 20 meteres in this Game

Then you should have it for Roger Binny as well.

 

[pillionrider]

Sarfaraz has the composure of a hamster

 

[Kianig89]

76 only hold your horses

 

[Thomaskutty]

Skipper needs to play it cool..tuk tuk for the next 10 overs can get them very close.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

More like sad spot

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I mean, do we even need ajinx we are doing it wothout it

Be positive brother, I don't believe in Jinx

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Sarfaraz is a poor LOI batsman, shouldn't be captain.

Leading edge. Fahim has a chance to become an overnight star today.

Bangla blitz doesnt count?

 

[Madplayer]

Sensible so far..really good.

 

[MMHS]

SL doesn't have a proper offie lol. Gunaratne is the closest thing to an offie. I am shocked at Sandakan not being picked. If Lanka loses from here, they should be blamed of their negative team selection. Not having a spinner is a crime.

Not their fault - I'll also play lots of all-rounder against PAK to strengthen batting. You don't need wicket taking bowler against PAK - you need intelligent bowlers against QA products. Some of the most hilarious bowling figures by part timers are against PAK, including a Test 6for for Marcus North. I believe Simmons once had 10-8-3-4, Sanath had 6/29, Hari had 5/12 or something, Gatting probably 4 for 20 or so, Ganguly had 14 wickets in 3 innings .... that was against a good PAK side, caught on a bad day - these lot are 8th ranked in a game seriously played by less than 8 countries.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

More like sad spot

Sad Soft Spot

 

[Iffitheking]

This is absolutely absurd, went outside after Fakhar's dismissal for a little while, thought it would be easy win, and got back and saw this halat.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Sarfaraz has the composure of a hamster

Has captian cool reputation though, IDK why

 

[imshally81]

Fakhar + Faheem..
The New Opening Pair For Pakistan....
Anyone?

 

[Madplayer]

Oh God.

 

[bluevision]

gone , i guess

 

[member250]

Fahim already look better then Imad, Hafeez, Malik so far..

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Are the commentators laughing?

are you not?

 

[Syed1]

Fahim good enough to bat at 6?

Surely in this mediocre batting lineup he has to bat higher

 

[Hamad_H]

On a lighter note, Michael Atherton asked Ramiz if Sarfraz speaks as quick in Urdu as he does in English. ) .

 

[Madplayer]

Out

 

[MSaad1237]

Oh dear ..

 

[Executioner]

Out omg!

 

[imshally81]

t

 

[KingKhanWC]

Disgusting if we go out of the tournament like this. In a commanding position thanks to Fakhar's fifty, no major demons in the pitch, SL bowling is not the strongest in the CT and yet here we are struggling to chase 236.

This could go down to the wire. 1 to win with 1 wicket in hand with 1 ball remaining. What a game it would be

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

And a run-out!!!!

 

[Sunzi]

Pathetic.

 

[Aman]

Incredibly difficult now.

Poor from Fahim.

 

[Kianig89]

Unbolevable

 

[Madplayer]

:

 

[Walid88]

Out

 

[bluevision]

did not slide in the bat...watta playa

 

[Shafi]

Mickey Arthur needs to be sacked

Inzi first.

 

[Executioner]

Can say luck hasn't been in Pakistan's favor today.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Idiot. Can't even do the basics right these guys

 

[Nasty Naz]

What a joke...

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Are you kidding me

 

[Madplayer]

This is a lost cause now. Shameful batting by everyone apart from Fakhar.

 

[Markhor]

That is appalling cricket. Dive back in you fool.

 

[Syed1]

Game set match

 

[imshally81]

Unlucky Faheem...

 

[IMMY69]

This is just surreal

 

[BD-fan]

RUNOUT???
runout???
At this stage?
When there was a close call in the last over?

 

[Iffitheking]

You can't blame, Fahim or Fakhar, they are new player.

 

[explayer]

Pathetic

 

[Madplayer]

Anti climax lmao

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good bye.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Sarfraz has to guide us home now

 

[member250]

uncluky? not really. He had enough time to get bat back on

 

[Haroon786]

That looked wrong, the bail hadn't been dislodged from the stumps.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Depressing and unlucky

 

[JaDed]

Why are the basics of PCT batting so wrong,even Azhar Ali doesn't ground the bat properly while running.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

That was so close

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

Ramiz:- Patrenship of 25. WHEN SHOULD SL worry?

 

[castortroy]

Bails have not complete been removed there

 

[troodon]

A bit of bad luck for Pakistan.

Lanka won't mind.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

the ray of hope is gone... time to book tickets back home...rashid's words worked the opposite... now sehwag should get his twitter up online for a send off message to pak..

 

[ExplicitAI]

Oh my words how bad can it get, thought we deserve the victory given the way we bowled.

 

[Kianig89]

Post CT XI

Fakhar
Azhar no option
Babar
Harris
Sarfraz
Fahim
Shadab
Imad
Gasan
Amir
Juno

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

It is so unfair to the bowlers and Fakhar that they'd end up on the losing side because of such poor batting.

 

[Barragan]

Very unfortunate and this is why he should have been allowed to blast it

What's the whole point of telling him to play slowly?

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

That was so wrong!!

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Sarfraz needs to play captain's knock to justify his position as captain

 

[HitWicket]

Bails have not complete been removed there

They don't have to be, they just have to light up.

 

[Markhor]

Never mind if we lose to Sri Lanka - it'll give us a chance to clear out some of these frauds like Hafeez, Malik, Imad, Shehzad and Riaz.

If we fluked a semi-final place it would only paper over the cracks and give the leeches another free pass.

 

[Sohail11]

Yaar honestly watching this game makes my blood boil. to work sooo hard to get them out for 240odd and then for everyone to go and give their wickets away so cheaply. Sometimes it just seems like a slap in the nations face...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That wasn't unlucky. Fahim should've gotten back. Terrible cricket

 

[Madplayer]

This is plainly depressing.

 

[pillionrider]

Sarfaraz cursing Fahim when he himself should have been run out at least twice today

 

[MMHS]

Idiot. Can't even do the basics right these guys

Arthur's fault - he didn't send message to PAK International to drag bat, when his batting partner has driven straight.

 

[Hamad_H]

Step forward Captain Sarfraz, it is your time to shine

 

[habibi hayya]

HAHAHAHAH God I hate this team.

 

[castortroy]

They have that out based on the flashing light

 

[Bhaijaan]

That is appalling cricket. Dive back in you fool.

Things must be bad if calm veterans like Markhor too are having to say this. Lol

 

[troodon]

Bails have not complete been removed there

Its the zing bails. The light is what umpires see.

[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] will be getting nervous

As will brothers [MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION] and [MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] who were baying for Arthur's blood. Oh please God let it happen.

Poor post. You really think I would want Pakistan to lose for proving a point? In any case my criticisms of him are more to do with test cricket and still stand.

Anyways Arthur and team managements tactics have been very good in this match and last. Unfortunately we might lose this but there has been good progress

 

[saqibjamil]

Any other team wouldve backed themselves to chase 237 against a meek Srilankan attack. Not Pak

 

[QalandarFan]

Wow just checked the scorecard how did we go from 70/0 to this! I am about to cry.
