Just missed a few overs, but can someone tell me why Arafat is not bowling? Surely, he cant be tired and he has been the best bowler so far....
 
76.2 Danish Kaneria to Samaraweera, FOUR, almost a repeat of the previous stroke except this was pitched fuller and he drove at it from the crease, but the timing was simply exquisite, mid-off had absolutely no chance
76.1 Danish Kaneria to Samaraweera, FOUR, simply superb! Tossed up outside leg, comes down the track and drives it inside out down the ground all the way to the long-off boundary



Ive had enough of this bagwaas, how about afridi or tariq mehmood for da next match?

Lets hope that the new ball which is due after 3 overs works wonders.
 
And to think there was all this talk of it being a Lively pitch, :))) :))) :))) :)))

The groundsman should get the sack if thats what he tried to produce.
 
We need Arafat to bowl now!!

He has been the best bowler so far!
 
Yes the spinners are probably bowling to get to 80 overs, and the it will be Gul and Arafat

What "talk", as always it was "reliable sources" that said this was the case, how could anyone believe them? :D
 
Beautiful shot from Samaraweera and thats his 100!!

Great Knock!
 
100 congrats m8 nice batting ( murdering) or whatever you want to call it
 
Gul To Bowl!
Come On !!
New Ball Taken!! Straight Away
 
Catches win matches...Pakistan will never be a world beater as long as they continue dropping simple catches or even half chances!

Good/Great Teams never miss simple sitter, convert half chances in to catches and eventually put pressure on the remaining batsmen till they give their wickets away...catching wise Pak would be at the bottom of the Int'l teams!

No wonder we are suffering...and it will continue this way until we improve our catching standards
 
Come On Arafat!!

He Needs To Carry On With The Pressure And Ball Wicket To Wicket!
 
Good Ball From Arafat!!

It Swung Aswell And Hurried Samaraweera!
 
Peach Of A Delivery From Arafat!!

Cracker!!
Beat Jayawardene All Ends Up!!

Look hussein, its all about creating false hope in a time of great sadness, you to come and create false hope.
 
Great Strike From Samaraweera And Thats Four Past Point!
 
Given its a flatter than flat pitch. Pakistan should not have too many problems with there batting either, touchwood. So there could be a nice draw here guys, less humiliation.
 
When you let batsmen like Samarawera hit 100's you know your bowling is not of quality.. However I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Pak this time as they havent played test cricket in a while and it is just a bit of rustiness showing (HOPEFULLY)....
 
Both Pakistani bowlers are seriously cranking it up. Up into the 120's now.
 
dont know why Gul and Arafat are stuck at 130 ks.

Hope YKS gives Sohail Khan a couple before the end.
 
Ripper From Arafat, Who Has By Far Been The Best Bowler Today, Beat Jayawardene Comprehensively!!
 
Other than Gul all bowlers look club level or even worse.

Sohail Khan,
Yasir Arafat,
Shoaib Malik
Danish Kaneria
Younis Khan

^
That is not a Test class attack for me, flat pitch or not !!


Samaraveera scoring at 80+ strike rate is shocking.


Well played Lanka though.
 
What the hell is malik and salman butt doing in the slips. Ponting is still able to field in the slips. Hope younus learns that he does not have to stay at midd on or mid off.
 
86.1 Sohail Khan to DPMD Jayawardene, 2 runs, edged and dropped, the first wicket eludes him again, good length outside off and moving away, Mahela tried to drive that off the back foot wide of mid-off, got a thick outside edge and Shoaib Malik put down a straightforward chance at first slip. Sums up the story of the day for Pakistan

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
ARAFAT BY FAR HAS BEEN THE BEST BOWLER TODAY!!

GUL IS THE ONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN UPTO IT ALONG WITH S KHAN!!
 
What A Shot!!
Got Onto The Back Foot Very Quickly And Dispatched The Ball To The Boundary For Four!
 
We are well and truly getting owned by the sri lankans here!

This is the sri lanka side that just got hammered by the indians btw!
 
Omg!!
How Could We Let Sri Lanka Make 400 In One Day!!
Shocking Bowling! And Fielding!
 
Ooh!!
Squared Samaraweera Up There With Another Fantastic Bowl From Arafat!!
It Runs Away To The Boundary For Four Sadly!!
Great Delivery Anyway!
 
Sohail Khan gets a century on debut! Something he wont forget for a long time
 
Wth??
Another Boundary There In The Third Man Region!!

More Than A Hundred Runs Scored In The Third Man Area!!
 
The problem is we are crap at the moment and we need to play a lot of cricket to rebuild but that is also not happening.
 
another one in the point third man region.

YOUNUS bro y dont u just put a bloody fielder there.
 
to all the guys that criticized malik for not giving sohail more overs in a ODI match
well from what I have seen of him so far I think that was the correct decision
 
Pakistan Need To Go Back To The Drawing Board Tonight And Re Think Everything Because If They Carry On Like This Sri Lanka Might End Up Making 600+!!
