Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 1st Test - Day 1 | Karachi | 21/2/09

[Genghis]

So we look forward to seeing this "lively pitch"...

Awesome stuff that Pak are playing again, good luck all.

Off to find a stream...

Commentators said there were be a bit in it for the bowlers for the first hour, but after that it will become another batting track by the sounds of it.

 

[RumiNYC]

[natalia]

UMAR GUL STEAMING IN!

 

[lollol]

It will be of extreme importance for Pakistan that Gul carries his ODI form on into Tests!~

 

[161]

two relatively inexperienced openers for lanka

 

[amarmak]

bismillah

 

[natalia]

Wow, good to see Simon Taufel there umpiring. Atleast he comes to Pakistan
And Steve Davis as well.

Gul starts with a VERY good delivery, some swing and good line.

 

[iafzal]

The Sri Lankan openers have made their way out, and so have the Pakistanis. We are all set for the start. Good sunshine, ideal conditions for cricket, but the stadium is virtually empty

 

[161]

115 K .. looks like the speed guns are working their usual way in pak !

 

[RumiNYC]

do u have to buy a ticket to enter ? i mean whole stadium is virtually empty...

 

[Random Aussie]

[161]

not an easy catch .. good job by misbah holding on to that one.

 

[minhasuz]

Hope Sanga doesn't last long

 

[CricnPak]

Good pitch for a bowler like Gul. Pacy, grassy, seamy; a good type of flat.

 

[khanz141]

Gul with the axe sri lanka 3/1 in first over

 

[Random Aussie]

It appears that the speed guns are working properly for a change, the first ball did look pretty slow live.

Bit different when you are world class quick bowling with a new ball to a debutant. Sohail Khan hits 140 kph.
