ICC CT 2017, Group B | Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 12th June, 2017 | Cardiff | Sri Lanka innings

[Cryin Out Loud]

I find Junaid's run up to be so very easy on the eye.

And now Amir takes another, blinder by the keeper.

 

[roshanrocks]

3 maidens for Junaid....amazing

 

[saeed5646]

You didn't get the point.

rora bus ka

 

[Stallion__]

Momentum with us

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Another one!! We're on top

 

[MMHS]

Couple more from Amir - no point keeping 4 overs after 5 down inside 33 overs.

 

[shah_1]

Another wicket

 

[KhanPredator]

amir is backkkkkk!

 

[Square Drive]

Wicketless bowler again

 

[BleedGreen]

Pakistan on fire!

 

[Nasty Naz]

AMIR!!! Holy crap. What a huge wicket. OMG Amir you beauty!

 

[DRsohail]

So do we credit Junaid for the wicket because he "created the pressure".

many will not accept but junni has out bowled amir since his come back in aus , wi and definitely here....

 

[Magyar]

We're done n dusted

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Amir gets one more.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Amir grabs another!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Excellent catch

 

[BlueAngel]

SL, done and dusted, they were having a smooth sail but imploded pathetically.

Congrats Pak

 

[Sohail11]

Wicket maiden, brilliant bowling by my townsman, always had faith in him that he'll deliver on a big occasion.

Townsman? Dagai?

 

[Titan24]

Always wanted to see Amir and Junaid bowling together since 2012 and the injury of Junaid and the hate he got here even caused doubt in my head.

But turns out I wasnt wrong

 

[RobinJay]

hahaha this is brilliant

 

[Magyar]

Nice take by the keeper though

 

[darksher]

Amir serving some humble pies to many naysayers on PP. Time to accept the irrefutable truth that he's the best we've and head and shoulders, arms and legs over the rest.

 

[ads101]

Awesome. Let's get them under 250 now .

 

[Markhor]

Great captaincy and superb bowling.

Nothing quite hikes the adrenaline of a Pakistan fan than a quality spell of fast bowling.

 

[Rockket]

What a catch

 

[Boi]

Thisara 'one man army' Perera in. Always a danger man against us.

 

[shaz619]

[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] why are you so biased against Imad? the guy is a newbie, give him time; there is potential there, have you forgot already the tour he had in England? he averages 38 with the bat and 32 with the ball thus far in his career, you should be more angry at someone like Hafeez who's not even had one series away from home like the one Imad had on his debut overseas!

 

[akamaka]

usual pessimistic losers, criticising performance of bowlers and now wrist slitting thinking about England game when we haven't even won this one.

 

[MMHS]

Thisara won't last long, if Sarfu continues with Amir - moving late in air.

 

[shaz619]

Great stuff Amir!!!! terrific take from Sarfraz

 

[Rockket]

Has the pitch changed?

 

[Nasty Naz]

With Amir and Junaid both firing in this spell, I'd say keep bowling them if they continue to pick wickets. Forget about who needs to bowl in the death overs.

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

What a comeback!!

 

[Bewal Express]

Junaid was the best Pak bowler in this innings by far.

I had written him off but JK looking good today. He has found some of the lost zip and if he can get his inswinger back to the right handers, he could once again become the bowler he threatened to be.

 

[darksher]

Townsman? Dagai?

Swabi basically from the same district, also played with him in local club.

 

[Markhor]

But but Sarfraz is a poor keeper. We should recall Kamran "ghoomay ghi" Akmal #HawkeyeLogic.

 

[BleedGreen]

stupid imad yaar

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Miss fielding.

 

[Square Drive]

Imad

 

[ExplicitAI]

I had written him off but JK looking good today. He has found some of the lost zip and if he can get his inswinger back to the right handers, he could once again become the bowler he threatened to be.

Just giving credit where it's due, his bowling figures speak for themselves as well as the commentary on cricinfo.

 

[Madplayer]

Dropped

 

[fasihulhaq94]

damn! would have been an all time great take

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Damn i thought that was out

 

[New Yorker]

3rd maiden from Junaid. That is pretty incredible to see. Has been real hit or miss today though.

With only four wickets to go they should be unrelenting from here. Just attack.

 

[BleedGreen]

lol amirs front foot )

 

[Speedster1]

Wow what an attempt Sarfi even if not out!!! Amazing lads

 

[Markhor]

Come on Sarfraz bashers who wanted him gone after CT, show your faces now.

Idiots wanting to sack a skipper after three months.

 

[Madplayer]

He dropped it. He wasnt sure

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Oh he caught that but dropped it while landing

 

[Nasty Naz]

Seriously? Like is it that hard to field routine balls like that? I will never understand how Pakistani players are just the worst fielders!

And Sarfraz drops a catch.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz not sure. Nevertheless those were some amazing reflexes

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Hard to see how you can ask for a review for that.

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Sarfaraz missed it

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Could've been an excellent catch...

 

[Speedster1]

But but Sarfraz is a poor keeper. We should recall Kamran "ghoomay ghi" Akmal #HawkeyeLogic.

Eggs on faces

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Unlucky

 

[Boi]

Imad has to be the worst fielder in our side. Slow and lazy

 

[Square Drive]

Damn, how was he not sure?

Good effort though

 

[roshanrocks]

Can Sri Lanka reach 200?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Come on Sarfraz bashers who wanted him gone after CT, show your faces now.

Idiots wanting to sack a skipper after three months.

Those people were a bunch of jokers. Sarfraz is miles better than azhar and Misbah in ODIs. People were crying after the game vs India taking advantage of the fact that we lost. Sarfraz is an amazing captain tactically

 

[shah_1]

Sarfraz was not sure about this?

 

[Nasty Naz]

So that makes it what, 1000 dropped catches for Amir?

 

[ads101]

usual pessimistic losers, criticising performance of bowlers and now wrist slitting thinking about England game when we haven't even won this one.

Lol, I've always wondered why people get so pessimistic on here, it's ridiculous .

Anyway we're winning atm, and I'm enjoying it, some class bowling here. Hopefully we'll get them out sub 250 here.

 

[Mamoon]

Damn, why did he claim that?

Rashid Latif is his idol.

 

[Madplayer]

Can Sri Lanka reach 200?

Junaid looks more dangerous than Amir today.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

These 2 can get SL to 300 so we need them Asap

 

[ExplicitAI]

Effort should be appreciated still, unlucky there.

 

[Stallion__]

Imad will be our another 'blessed in all three facets of the game' player

 

[ExplicitAI]

Lol I told everyone that as soon as we got Mathews then we're into the tail.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

did imad put the intensity down.. 1 misfield and a drop catch..

 

[Square Drive]

Rashid Latif is his idol.

Who's Rashid?

The only cricketer I've heard of in my entire life is Manoj Tiwary.

 

[Madplayer]

Imad will be our another 'blessed in all three facets of the game' player

He shouldnt play against any asian side ever.

 

[coy0607]

Azhar is sooo slow

 

[mavericklegolas]

love the way Aamir bowl - respect from India (first post after lurking for years )

 

[Rockket]

These 2 r really dangerous.. need to get rid of them quickly

 

[Titan24]

Yes Juni

 

[Madplayer]

Junaiddddddddd :

 

[Arham_PakFan]

another one for junaid

 

[shah_1]

Another wicket

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Junaid you beauty....
