Pak Vs Srilanka |day4|1st Test

[MIG]

Faisal needs to repeat his Karachi heroics - Inshallah he will do fine.

 

[Daoud]

how many overs tomorrow will be bowled?
90 or 100?

Whats the forecast

 

[MIG]

Malik is the other guy who needs to work through this innings - he is set now.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

2 bad innings and its drop Younis Khan.

Are Pak fans the most fickle in the world ?

Anyway whats the score ?

a minority give the rest of us genuine,passionate pakistan cricket fans a bad name.

pak 78/2

shoaib malik playing a mudassar nazar type innings! exactly what is needed - some would have pref the majid khan approach but the situation really doesnt present itself conducive to that approach.

 

[majalani]

YK wasn't batting like a future captain

 

[Saj]

Forget the how many runs to win.

I'd rather we looked at it this way - 636 balls left !

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

malik has so far batted out 20 overs himself!

 

[pak4life]

if there is one team which can bat the last day out its pakistan we done it against south africa, india in recent years

636 doesnt seem a lot! lol. But malik is showing how it should be done

 

[Sheikh]

5 overs to go

 

[TaxiDriver]

Is there a special namaz for rain?

 

[shan]

the run rate should drop to 1.5

 

[Sheikh]

Stop with the cutting!!!

 

[Sheikh]

4 overs to go

 

[Hash]

Sri Lanka need to get four more wickets today to stand any chance of winning. We will bat out tomorrow. Shoaib Malik will prove to everyone that he is not a useless shirfarishi, Faisal will prove his Karachi innings was not a fluke, Inzi will prove that he is the best batsman in the world at the moment, Afridi will prove that he is a beast of epic proportions, Kamran will prove thta he is the best young cricketer in the world etc etc etc

Sri Lanka will not win this match.

 

[the Great Khan]

we should keep the faith..but im worried about murali..we may go into our shells when facing him thus falling into his trap...the morning session is important..if we can bat without losing a wicket we're in with a chance..if we lose two quick wickets we're stuffed!..heres hoping we survive inshallah!

 

[Sheikh]

I think the next 3.4 overs are very important

 

[Saj]

it still irritates me the fact that we bowled them out by tea on day 2 for 185. We shouldnt be in this position, but no point looking back, got to look forward now.

Exactly, Forwards not backwards, upwards not forwards

 

[Pindiwal]

why are pak players playing on the back foot to murli, this is a big risk, as already proven by fall of wickets of afridi in the 1st innings and younis in the 2nd innings.

 

[Sheikh]

2 overs to go

Inshallah..
Much needed optimism. Loved it until you mentioned Afridi...then reality sunk in.

 

[shan]

how many overs there will be bowled tomorrow 90? or 100?

 

[Sheikh]

Last over!

 

[UJ]

No more wickets here!!!

 

[MIG]

Last over!

Alhamdolillah !

 

[inzidabest]

Good batting. Only Younis Khan dissapointed

 

[shan]

what hapenend in last ball?

 

[majalani]

Look on the bright side
1st day 14 wkts
2nd day 8 wickets
3rd day 5 wkts
inshallah the slope will keeping going downwards

 

[deviously~fading~away]

^ And we only lost 2 wickets in 40 overs. Now we have to bat 40+40+10 overs more with 60% chance of Rain. I feel a bit confident we might just draw this match. Inshallah!
PS- Did anyone see the dressing room when we lost Younis, it looked as through Afridi & inzi were going to puke!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Good batting by the team till now, Younis was really disappointing. I though knowing that he is the VC he would have played a anchor role but he played a shot similar to afridi for which afridi was abused here!

Try sitting through Multan, Lahore and Delhi, and thats only counting England innings from the last few months, let alone down the years. Ive seen things you will only have nightmares about

 

[cover_point]

As a Sri Lankan though I hope SL will win this match, I think Pakistan has a good chance of getting draw. The SSC wicket is known to die down towards the end of a test match. There is ofcourse the possiblity of PK getting the 458 runs but as Sangakkara said it will have to be great effort from PK.

 

[MIG]

Cover_point - welcome to PP !

and well played to SL - hope we get a good result, either way. I would rather see a fighting draw then a tame surrender or rain!

But Murali is not known for 'dying' on the final day of a test match..........

 

[Sheikh]

It may be the final day of the test macth but its still a day 4 pitch. 2 or 3 big partnerships and we should be close to safety. Once again the first session is crucial.
