Pak Vs Sri |day 5|1st Test

[tahaqureshi]

20 runs off the over!!!!!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

50 partnetship better than a run ball

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

20 off that murali over - few more like that then who knows! LOL

 

[zMario]

We gotta go at 13 runs an over to win!

 

[Uzi]

Great hitting from Malik

 

[tahaqureshi]

just for note..required run rate is 13.3 and kamran and afridi yet to come

what do we do?

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

4 more from malik! cmmon boys!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

if malik can get to 150* he will have a test match batting average of 40!

awesome

 

[Sheikh]

Arey Malik!!

 

[Oxy]

zMario.

I sense your understanding of test cricket is a bit limited. We are not winning. S L are 'winning' (if thats how you want to put it).

This game could be over and SL win in potentially 6 balls.

 

[zMario]

Lets all sing Dil Dil Pakistan!

Dil Dil Sa Dil Dil Sa (I forgot the rest)

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 more

is bmalik aiming for the win or his 200 haha

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

just for note..required run rate is 13.3 and kamran and afridi yet to come

what do we do?

might as well have a little dart now! afridi due next

 

[PapaBear]

I don't get it Oxy, we're winning right now, and if we had time on our side, we would probably win. How could we lose?

Have you ever played Cricket?

That goes for many on here Oxy!!

Priority - save the match

No offence to Afridi fans - a 6 ball 18 is not required today.

 

[tahaqureshi]

yaar Oxy..bicharay ko enjoy karnay do..kahan samjhaynggay yeh test ki strategies..

 

[TaxiDriver]

Man FINALLY I'm so Relieved....Well batted Pakistan (well in the 2nd innings anyway)!!!!!!

Been wanting to say this for ages....England, India...this is how you save a match...Watch and Learn!!!!

YIPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Uzi]

six 6's in an over would be nice

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

guys - it says 7 overs left but it is 12:30 GMT - can pak ask for extra half hour?

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

131 of 15-17 overs is doable as we have the 1 hr and 5 mins

 

[Amir]

Well if there was more time in the test match zMario, than Sri Lanka wouldn't have declared so early.

 

[Amir]

131 of 15-17 overs is doable as we have the 1 hr and 5 mins

What are you talking about? There is only 8-9 overs left with 30 mins to play.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

131 of 15-17 overs is doable as we have the 1 hr and 5 mins

if thats the case then that is gettable!

 

[tahaqureshi]

But Amir, I'm sure they wouldn't have thought that the mighty Pak batting lineup would bat for SOOO long..with the opener himself facing well more than 50 overs alone!!!

 

[Amir]

guys - it says 7 overs left but it is 12:30 GMT - can pak ask for extra half hour?

I think they can only do that if they are 30 runs within striking distance and there was extra day left meaning the inevitable is that they would win. In this situation, Sri Lanka would have to agree to it too as the match can go either way.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

jayasuriya on to bowl - v v interesting move!

 

[Oxy]

Malik batting for more than 8 hours - thats unheard of from a modern day Pak player.

 

[Amir]

But Amir, I'm sure they wouldn't have thought that the mighty Pak batting lineup would bat for SOOO long..with the opener himself facing well more than 50 overs alone!!!

Yes but if they had more time on their side, they rather put on 500 to 600 on the board to ensure we do not win.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

What are you talking about? There is only 8-9 overs left with 30 mins to play.

is the close of play 1.30 in bst

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

2 4's by malik!!!!!!!!!!!! cmmon son!

 

[Amir]

Malik batting for more than 8 hours - thats unheard of from a modern day Pak player.

Thats unheard of many players nowadays witht he attacking nature of this game!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

2 4's in a row

 

[Oxy]

Malik getting great reward for the hard graft - moves onto 148. He's taken about 30 balls to get from 100 to 148!

 

[tahaqureshi]

current partnership 69 off just 67!

 

[Sheikh]

Malik on to 148 now

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

shows the fitness levels of the guy

 

[tahaqureshi]

malik loves srilanka..didn't he have an amazing partnership with moyo against arilanka at home once? was in the tis-eries involving zimbabwe I think

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

[Amir]

There was only 6-7 overs left in the day with 30 mins left in the day and fading late.

[spongebob]

This is an excellent result...this draw was as good as a win.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

[bounced]

Excellent batting by S Malik well supported by F Iqbal.
