[Friend786]

chaka par gaya!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Can Misbah please attack Mathews as well please?

 

[Watsupdoc]

This is pathetic captaincy from ...

 

[alberto]

continuing with 2 bowlers over after over is going to wear them out... surely go for hafeez and gul combo to blow the tail

 

[bforme]

Bring on gul.

 

[Strike!]

Junaid what the hell were you doing.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bring the fielders in!!!

 

[Watsupdoc]

 

[qamar84]

Could the following please bend over and beg Misbah for forgiveness...Typical Paks who jump the gun before a delivery has even been bowled. Afridi fan boys showing their intellect again!

lalaland people bro all of them

 

[Strike!]

Terrible fielding.

 

[insaftak]

LOL.

I decided to sleep after lunch thinking 500 runs for Sri lanka ) I just woke up to see them down 7 on 117 )

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pathetic from Gul that was... He doesn't look fit...

 

[Strike!]

Was that dropped?

 

[Watsupdoc]

and single given away...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Misbah is giving singles to Mathews in charity! Well done!

 

[Itachi]

Congrats to pakistani ppers.... Pakistan really dominated the 2nd session. Its good to see pakistan cricket back in the place where it was always been....

 

[attock]

Beautiful doosra

 

[adnan yasin]

Cheema coming to bowl

 

[violet_may]

LOL.

LOL

I was sleeping as well. If I was awake, I probably would have joined the 'Misbah: What the heck are you doing?' bandwagon as well. Thankfully, because I was sleeping, I couldn't say anything about his bowling decisions

 

[Watsupdoc]

Ajmal has been really ordinary in the last few overs. Needs a break me thinks.

 

[adnan yasin]

Field set up is like mathews is playing on 70 or something

 

[Watsupdoc]

This captaincy from is pissing me off issed:

 

[Watsupdoc]

And now they will just give a single in charity

edit - They took a single on that bowl!

 

[adnan yasin]

Mathews after facing 4 balls now exposed his partner to Cheema

 

[WakaWaka]

Pakistan playing really well.


But this is a very annoying stage of the innings. The tail..

 

[adnan yasin]

now LAKMAL got hit on thighs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to learn how to finish the tail off! This is really poor stuff!

same thing was evident in the W.I series!

 

[alberto]

what's the score now?

 

[adnan yasin]

what is the probability of getting a wicket on slower ball when a batsman is ready to defend the remaining balls ?

 

[alberto]

This could be pakistan's best chance to win a test against sri lanka and proplel themselves up the rankings

 

[attock]

Your self

 

[Sherlock]

Calm down. It's a pancake of a wicket, I think the batting side is liable to score afew runs.

 

[adnan yasin]

139/7

 

[attock]

Get gul on and attack

 

[Sherlock]

They'll get 200+ me thinks. Matthews is playing with freedom now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to finish this off. we are letting SL back into game here!

we have a tendancy to bat **** in 1st inns off games! so need to get sri lanka out cheaply!

 

[Amjid Javed]

They'll get 200+ me thinks. Matthews is playing with freedom now.

if they do thats down to poor cricket from pakistan!

 

[adnan yasin]

 

[iHammad]

This p'ship is 32 now...

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Sanath is not understandable! Can anybody understand his points?

 

[adnan yasin]

fantastic drive through covers

 

[Watsupdoc]

150 up! But we at least got a full over at Lakmal now...

 

[NJamal]

Mathews is hurting Pakistan quiet badly now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

i really dont understand what Misbah is trying to achieve here? poor stuff!

Matthews been fed easy runs!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Change Ajmal yaar, please...

 

[Friend786]

taufeeq is a pathetic fielder

 

[adnan yasin]

Time to Gamble with hafeez

 

[Watsupdoc]

this is so frustrating! issed:

 

[zid60]

Bring on Gul and finish this off!

 

[Friend786]

lakmal on strike for cheema over !

 

[Watsupdoc]

Time to Gamble with hafeez

He should have been bought on way before, Ajmal is bowling really ordinarily... Add to that Misbah's pathetic field setting...

And the result is tail dragging...

 

[JellyBro]

choking on the tail again!!

 

[adnan yasin]

"For God's sake , just keep a normal field , as if it was 101/3 . When u can get no.3 and no. 4 out with normal fields , why do u have to push everyone back for a batsman at no. 6 on 3 not out

This is where your captaincy skills are tested .. not when bowlers are bowling yorker and good length

 

[Watsupdoc]

And a single

Just bowl normally people...

 

[adnan yasin]

he should have been bought on way before, ajmal is bowling really ordinarily... Add to that misbah's pathetic field setting...

And the result is tail dragging...

i agree

 

[adnan yasin]

No ball

by tailender

 

[Strike!]

So annoying.

 

[attock]

Poor fielding

 

[hur rizvi]

They need to set normal fields for MAthews as well

 

[Osman]

bring on hafeez! pakistans repeated ability series after series to knock out the tail.....never learn!

 

[Down2Earth]

misbah doing a yousuf here

 

[Areesh]

This is getting annoying now.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Highest Partnership of the match )

 

[Watsupdoc]

Ajmal continuing

And still bowling defensively to Mathews...

 

[hur rizvi]

Bring on Gul...

 

[hur rizvi]

Smacked for

HAlf tracker from Gul

 

[hur rizvi]

[Strike!]

Finally.

 

[adnan yasin]

[IgnitedMind]

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Gul removes Lakmal.

 

[adnan yasin]

Good first up delivery by GUL to new tail ender

 

[adnan yasin]

LAst ball by gul should be a yorker
