Very bad coverage on TV - looks like some kid with an old Apple Computer has done the scorecards !
 
Razzak very economical bowling at 3 runs per over
 
razzaq and rao as pakistans new ball attack...

wow.... must be exciting!
 
Arshad Khan to Kalavitigoda
what a lovely delivery! tosses up, well outside off, goes for the drive, through the gate and hits the middle stump, classic dismissal for off spinner!
 
Shahid Afridi to Dilshan
Gone! wrong one from Afrid, goes back and tries to drive it on the off side, missread it and ball hits the leg stump
 
Afridi bowls Dishen and Sri Lanka now as good as dead
 
Yeah we're beating them - Aussies watch out !!! wah wah !!!
 
Really sorry to hurt everyones feelings but this tournament seems to be designed to give some money to the Pak Team ! ( prize money ie)

The other teams look lost - SL looking like Quetta Bears at the moment !!
 
Pak bowling with only two fast bowlers but both are bowling good, rao is excelent and so is razzaq, razzaq bowling much faster than usual. And arshad and shahid getting quite a lot of turn.
 
so when we playing india? are the rumours about sunny, kapil and arun (lal) playing true?

Indeed. I think Pak should really have sent some of the young domestic talent it would have been a good time to test some of the cricketers who are potential candidates of representing Pak's international team. Plus players like Inzimam, Youhanna, Younis etc need some rest. This is really a joke it is almost Pak's full strength team facing a Srilankan A team and tommorow will face India's C team.
 
Nh just lies, they are playing tomorow and trust me india will come with everything they have, try and get revenge! Shouls be a proper match with all the stars playing.
 
Does anyone know how fast the Pak pace bowlers are bowling.
Rao is bowling quite fast, mid 80's maybe, but razzaq is really bowling faster and the commentators are noticing it aswell.
 
Razzaq is bowling 94mph on average in this match
 
shayan- 'Pak's full strength team'

are yuo taking the mick? Full strength team?

:))) :))) is there a cyclone behind him? or is he breaking wind just b4 he starts his run up?
 
Nah thats just a joke i think but i think he is defintly crossed the 90mph in this match.
 
ALMOST Pak's full strength

The batting line-up is full strength though.
 
thr batting is full strength but the bowling is nowhere near full strength.

Akhtar, Sami, Gul, Shabbir, Rana would all be considered first choice bowlers and none are playing.
 
Pak players are looking so bored - just heard Arshad Khan shout "hurry up guys, the shops will close soon"...

Don't jump to any conclusions yet AJ. Wait till he wins an ODI MOTM award and has to speak English in the ceremonies. ;-)

43.2 Younis Khan to Ramyakumara, FOUR, dropped by Moin Khan on the
boundar at midwicket


I see Moin Khan is still setting the world on fire with his catching

I struggle to understand why Inzi is hell bent on bowling slow bowlers at the moment. Just bring Rao back on and let him have a crack at getting a 5fer.

one-handed catch at midwicket for a wickef for Younis Khan who is
happy, rushes to the ball and dries it


Younis Khan gets a wicket!

Couldnt see too many people in the stands although they have these grass slopes where a lot of people could be seen
 
I'd imagine there will be more for Pakistan vs India........though not too many Indians. They will be too scared.
 
good game today..i never felt as if our boys took the game easy as it was an unofficial game..theres a thirst for winning each n every game in the pakistani camp and taking every match seriously which is an extremely positive signs for our cricket !!..

a word of appreciation for Younis Khan and Rao Ifthikar ..they were the stars for me today..Younis batted superbly to made sure that we bat full 50 overs and then Rao bowled fantastic and picked up 3 important wickets(including Atapattu,Sangakkara)..both of them r must for the ODI series against Westindies....Arshad Khan yet again had a good game and picked up two wickets..Razzaq,Afridi and Malik supported well.

erliear Malik played a good 68 with the bat(once again we didn't lost the game after he scored 68+)

we all thought that Srilankans will chase the target easily as we have no bowlers ..but i think we r too confident a side at the moment and can beat any side with even limited resources..and today's game proved it!

InshAllah our boys will keep performing good in Westindies too! ;)+
 
Man of the match was Younis for his 71*, a wicket, and a brilliant catch at slip.

yes still we won the game and had the better of Srilankan batting lineup comprising of Atapattu,Sangakkra,jayawardene,Russel Arnold ....they only left Jayasuriya and i think even he wouldn't have made much of a difference!

at the moment i can say Pakistan can win matches with/without any bowlers!..our batting is strong enuff to win us games

plus i also feel its near end for Shoaib Akhter's career......no need of Akhter when Rana,Rao,Razzaq r doing the job fine...Sami and Gul will come back but dont think the same for Shoaib!

Sami
Gul
Rana
Shabbir
Razzaq
Rao


these r our future!...shoaib's inclusion will only make it look bad....truly speaking Rana and Sami bowls much faster thn Shoib at the moment

sorry if m going off topic here ...shouldv'e posted it in the shoaib akhter topic!
 
Anbody know who the other squad players are for Pakistan?

Asim Kamal came on as substitute fielder.
Why was Moin Khan and Kamran Akmal both playing?

The PCB must have decided to give Moin a final farewell
 
I can't understand why man of the match adjudicators in the sub-continent or so dumb. They seem to always pick only the player who scored the most runs. Short minded dumb pakistanis!!!! Personally I feel malik should have got it. He got only 3 less than younis, (68 runs) and he took 2 wickets, he should have got the award.
 
This is what my friend in Abu Dhabi just wrote to me:

"I went to the stadium around 8:30 pm last night. However, I could not get inside as the ticketing cashier had gone for dinner. I waited for 40 minutes and meanwhile Sri lanka lost 2 more wickets and the cashier still did not show up. Then I went home. However, the stadium looked beautiful under the lights and the score board they have is phenomenal."

Welcome to the MiddleEast !!!
 
there was only one ticketing cashier?


can't have been that big a crowd if they only had one ticketnig cashier!
