ICC WT20| 1st Semi-Final | Pakistan vs Sri Lanka | Colombo | 4/10/12 | SL Innings

[Strike!]

Toss in ten minutes time, Lets do this.

 

[2hands]

lets do what?

 

[Strike!]

Lets win this.

 

[King_Rizzy]

Let's go Pakistan! Let's get to the final boys!

 

[2hands]

i think umer should come in before kamran, hes better at playing the ball around and picking up the odd boundary, and use kamran to up the rate

 

[H2O1]

i hope we will loss the toss and let srilanka decide

 

[Lara400]

Bring it on lads......here we go

 

[2hands]

^thats why your an emerging player h20

 

[Asif321]

News from Pakistan's camp: Pakistan will go into the semis unchanged : Sources

 

[Lara400]

Think we ought to bat first

 

[PTI tsunami]

Oh no ARY reportg tanvir in Razaq out

 

[Lara400]

I prefer Herath over Kulasakera

 

[asif9138]

this going to be a cracker as well!!

 

[asif9138]

please pakistan do not change batting order and do not drop Abdul razzaq

 

[Lara400]

Oh no ARY reportg tanvir in Razaq out

Might not be a bad decision, considering Razzaq and playing spin. Of course to justify the selection Tanvir has to bowl well.

 

[asif9138]

toss is going on

 

[t_kaay]

Sri Lanka win toss and bat

 

[asif9138]

Sl win the toss....bat first

 

[asif9138]

Mahela looks under pressure

 

[King_Rizzy]

We're chasing. Let's restrict them on the field. Good bowling & fielding required.

 

[Lara400]

SL batting first

 

[asif9138]

pakistan wanted to bat first too!!

 

[Poison]

Pakistan ZINDABAD!

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

?^ how do you know

 

[t_kaay]

Hafeez wanted to bat first

Razzak out, tanvir in

 

[Strike!]

Tanvir playing, Hope it isn't a costly decision.

 

[usman_sheikh]

Come on Pakiz, We are chasing. Restrict them under 120

 

[asif9138]

tanveer is playiing...

 

[Lara400]

Tanvir it is, bit harsh on Razzaq.

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

Come on -

 

[asif9138]

need to bowl well guys!!

 

[Poison]

Pitch doesn't change much over time, chasing has often been easier under lights at Colombo.

 

[WNC]

Tanvir in? Are they out of their fricken mind!?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

no razaak - Thats Pathetic selection

 

[Love Pakistan]

Wow what a blunder to drop Razzaq and pick Tanvir. On top of it we are chasing.

 

[Lara400]

Jamshed will nulify Hearth inshallah

 

[Lara400]

Tanvir better stop the no-balls

 

[t_kaay]

Don't know if tanvir is a good choice here, he's bound to bowl up front, where these Sri lankans like attacking......they like pace and it will be easier to get boundaries....would have preferred to try and strangle with spin like we did with Australia

 

[King_Rizzy]

What kind of foolishness is this?

Razzaq not playing!?!?!

Now watch Tanvir get a 5fa

 

[Lara400]

Leg spin, off spin, left arm spin, Right arm fast, left arm fast. All bases covered for Pakistan

 

[Poison]

You guys are nutters, playing the same side and expecting Razzaq to bowl is not possible against SL. Tanvir is a good choice, if he squeezes out 2 tight overs he will have done his job.

 

[Love Pakistan]

I have lost the hope. 2 bad news to start the match. We are chasing and also Razzaq is not playing.

 

[Asif321]

wht the helll we needed razzaqs batting specially wen chasing

 

[Poison]

WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS!!!

 

[Lalafied]

Razzaq is not playing @ Hafeez

 

[dhump]

Why tanveer God Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ????

 

[JibranAnsari]

Playing tanvir can prove costly...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Hmmm. Big Blunder dropping Razzaq.

 

[asif9138]

can we chase 150 if they posted?

 

[shokz1408]

Disgusting decision to call Tanvir in for Razzaq :S

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan should mentally be ready to chase 160 +

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pak need to.restrict Sl to 120.

 

[asif9138]

wasim akram surprised as well!!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I hope the fact of Chasing doesnt Mentally affect pak.

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Afridis batting is like a rusty gate
Bumble you legend

 

[t_kaay]

You guys are nutters, playing the same side and expecting Razzaq to bowl is not possible against SL. Tanvir is a good choice, if he squeezes out 2 tight overs he will have done his job.

It is razzaqs batting that we might miss......I really hope tanvir performs, we have to put faith in the playing 11, whichever 11 is chosen. Let's win this and get in the final. Go Pakistan

 

[Lara400]

To be honest I'm not fussed at all Tanvir is playing, has to perform though.

 

[ImranFarhatFan]

Tough decision to drop Razzaq but you can't play Sri Lanka with just Umar Gul as your only seam option. If this was the Razzaq of old, he would've stayed because he could bowl but he can't bowl any more. He'll be back if we make the finals unless Tanvir has an amazing day

 

[asif9138]

chalo..koi baat nahi

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

pak cant chase anything 130+ - so please restrict below

 

[t_kaay]

Ajmal interview.....classic

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

what has Imran Nazir done so far ? he should have been dropped if Tanveer had to play

 

[King_Rizzy]

Afridi to mark his 16th anniversary of fastest century in international cricket by breaking that record today!

 

[Lara400]

Lol Ajmal interview!!!!!

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

KUKRI needs to perform today

 

[nads_rocks]

Ahhh Tanvir trash, prepare for lots of misfield and drop catches by him and some trash bowling with extras!

Razzaq should have played he can still bowl and is also a wicket taker but this is just so harsh on him especially after his crucial 22 runs against Australia!

 

[t_kaay]

Atherton backing afridis bowling tonight, let's hope so

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Chasing not what we like in big matches. Can we do it this time?

 

[velu]

supporting pakistan today

 

[t_kaay]

We should go out with the mindset that we have already batted and are defending 120-130. We can do this

 

[Lara400]

Nasser backing a PAK win, and Atherton reckons Afridis bowling will be tough on this wicket

 

[Poison]

Tanvir's figures vs SL in his last 2 games

1-15 off 4
3-12 off 4

Professor strikes again

 

[t_kaay]

Chasing not what we like in big matches. Can we do it this time?

We chased against Sri Lanka in t20 final 2009 and won that. No reason why we can't do it again tonight

[Lara400]

I think SL ought to have played the young spinner. The mystery nature would have had Pakistan a tad on the backfoot. I would have played him rather than mendis. Jayawardene taking the safe option.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

dusty, breaking pitch.

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

We restricted SL in 09 final and chased it down easily lets hope its the same case today.

 

[shani]

Kohli said that batting becomes easier here under lights, lets hope thats the case tonight

 

[Bullet Drive]

Chasing is easier under lights.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pakistan go hit them hard from ball 1.

Pakistan Zindabad.
