[James]

You would think Sri Lanka would have to play amazingly well or Pakistan play amazingly badly for this not to end in a draw.

 

[Easa]

Glanced away, single to Faisal.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Ever crossed the border and been to malaysia?

 

[samisback]

faisal on 42 will be facing murali!

 

[Easa]

Good over, only a single off it.

 

[Easa]

146-2 (63)

 

[aabbasi]

You would think Sri Lanka would have to play amazingly well or Pakistan play amazingly badly for this not to end in a draw.

Pakistan is capable of doing the unthinkable, therfore will keep our fingers crossed..

 

[Hydro]

malik still pon 49 hes making me nervous

 

[Easa]

78 overs left in the day, is that possible?

That's what it says on CricBuzz.

 

[Easa]

Malik - 49 (182)

Iqbal - 42 (118)

Good batting..

 

[Hash]

Was going to pop over to Malaysia for 4 nights on this visit but went to Tokyo instead!


Enlighten me cavin for I have no idea? I presume it is Thai? I know enough to explain directions to a taxi driver and that is about all.

 

[samisback]

Pakistan is capable of doing the unthinkable, therfore will keep our fingers crossed..

being an optimist, i would like to think freedi will score a super duper beastly hundred or 80 odd which will win pak the game,........but realistically i know not going to happen if faisal and malik cheetah can bat out the whole day


146 for 2
malik cheeta will be on strike can he bring his 50 up in this over?

 

[Muddaser]

Hash,

[Easa]

[tahaqureshi]

[Hydro]

[Easa]

Very well played Malik .

[Sheikh]

[Hash]

Hash,

What exactly do you do?

I am part of the Bangkok underworld.

Or if you want the truth...

My father has been working in Bangkok on and off since 1996 so visiting my parents. They will be returning in a couple of months so thought I would take the opportunity of a free place to stay. Did an internship at the UN while I was here which was good as I am looking to get into NGO work myself

 

[samisback]

infact malik can teach younis on how to play murali

faisal on 42* as well!

pak need another 310 runs to win!

 

[Sheikh]

Well played Malik!! Great innings so far!!!

 

[Easa]

Well bowled by Murali, Malik squared up.

 

[Hydro]

o expect malik to up the tempo

 

[Easa]

How many overs are left in the day, minimum?

 

[samisback]

can anyone tell if murali and bandara are getting the ball to turn or do something which would trouble the batsmen?

turning it along way alright, but its really slow turn......and some good batting


149 for 2

 

[samisback]

How many overs are left in the day, minimum?

after the rain, 75 overs were minimum till lunch they bowled 7 or 8 hours so hmm around 65 more overs to go.....

 

[Easa]

149-2 (66)

 

[samisback]

wow , what a handsome drive by faisal straight to mid off though...........

 

[Hydro]

i wouldnt mine us upping the tempo to scare SL

 

[Easa]

We need to go at 4.75 RPO from now on to win.

65 overs - 309 runs

 

[TaZ]

Malik - you superstar!!!

 

[samisback]

dances down the wicket pushes it to mid on thinks about the single faisal sent back...looking to attack now faisal

maiden over

 

[James]

We need to go at 4.75 RPO from now on to win.

65 overs - 309 runs

If you play it like an ODI you will lose.

 

[Easa]

Maiden for Bandara.

5-3-4-0

 

[Easa]

If you play it like an ODI you will lose.

Just making some simple calculations, Whippy.

 

[Hash]

Malik - you superstar!!!

But isn't he a useless sifarishi?

 

[UJ]

Lets just concentrate on securing a draw before we go for the win. If we are in a striking distance with say Afridi out there, then by all means go for it.

Not right now though

 

[Hydro]

If you play it like an ODI you will lose.

no if we play stupidly we will lose

 

[PlanetPakistan]

so far these 2 have done a great job for our country!
Shabash Faisal and Shoaib bahi!

 

[tahaqureshi]

one run in last three overs...really have to commend the patience of these two!

 

[Easa]

But isn't he a useless sifarishi?

Useless tinpot player, he shouldn't fix matches, captain, no he didn't get cheated on, but he;s the future captain, he shouldn't be doing this. Malik, oh he's useless, no tecqniqe little sifarshi, shouldn't play tests.

 

[zMario]

Yay, Iqbal on 45

 

[Hydro]

150 is up

 

[zMario]

Well played by Malik, four, 155/2

 

[Hydro]

4 by malik not the must convincing but it ok

 

[samisback]

156 for 2
what a classy shot by malik that off the dosra

 

[Hydro]

and gets of strike with a single

 

[zMario]

I think Malik is trying to raise the tempo here, and really, as long as he doesn't get out, I dont care what he does 156/2

 

[samisback]

murali 28 overs 10 maidens 45 runs 2 wickets

 

[samisback]

[Sheikh]

9 overs before the new ball that means 4 more overs of Murali

 

[Hydro]

[Sheikh]

[spongebob]
